A new study shows that combining two carbon‑based materials can turn sunlight into both a fuel and a valuable product. The researchers built a junction of graphdiyne (GDY) and polymeric carbon nitride (PCN). In this arrangement, the GDY layer acts as a highway for positive charges, while PCN keeps n
Scientists have found a new way to make hydrogen peroxide directly from water using tiny metal atoms.

Boots Riley stands out in Oakland like a walking landmark, not because he's famous, but because his oversized cowboy hat makes him instantly recognizable. At 55, Riley is a veteran artist who's spent decades making films and music that challenge capitalism, but he's most comfortable just talking to
A top U. S. official touched down in Greenland’s capital last Sunday, landing in Nuuk just as politicians brace for high-stakes talks over Arctic control. Jeff Landry, a U.
