They took a special type of molecule called N-methylpyrrole azo-benzene, which can switch between different forms when light hits it. They made these molecules in different ways, swapping
A key challenge in aqueous zinc batteries is the short lifespan of the zinc anode. Scientists have discovered that manipulating the environment around the anode can significantly enhance its durability. By using an organic compound called caprolactam, they created a local high-supersaturation enviro
