POSTECH Professors Dong Soo Hwang and Jimin Choi Unravel the Long-Standing Mystery of EGF-Based Adhesion.

A research team led by Prof. Baowen Zhou has developed a novel Zn-decorated GaN nanowire catalyst that converts CO₂ and H₂O into methane (CH₄) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) using light. The main research was carried out by Dr. Muhammad Salman Nasir, achieving methane production rates of 189 mmol g^–1 h^–1 with a selectivity of 93.6% and excellent long-term stability for over 80 hours. This breakthrough provides a sustainable pathway to carbon-neutral energy and industrial chemical production.

Researchers from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) have proposed a 7-axis synchronization strategy for simultaneously realizing high accuracy, high efficiency and large scale in multi-axis linkage laser texturing of freeform surface, based on the unified control of a 5-axis linkage motion platform with a 2-dimensional galvanometer. And corresponding specialized machine tool implemented with the proposed strategy has been developed, which shows significantly promoted performance of laser texturing on freeform surface than the traditional 5-axis linkage strategy.

SAN ANTONIO — January 22, 2025 —Four small suitcase-sized spacecraft, designed and built by Southwest Research Institute, have made a final Earth-side pit stop at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. NASA’s Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere, or PUNCH, mission is sharing a ride to space with the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer (SPHEREx) observatory.

Specific protein receptors in the brain play a vital role in how neurons slow down or stop firing, making them targets for many disorders. Researchers have now constructed a detailed structural map of these receptors in the human brain, revealing how they assemble and how drugs bind to them.

Researchers from the University of British Columbia, the University of Washington, and Johns Hopkins University have identified a new class of quantum states in a custom-engineered graphene structure. Published today in Nature, the study reports the discovery of topological electronic crystals in twisted bilayer–trilayer graphene, a system created by introducing a precise rotational twist between stacked two-dimensional materials.

This newly formed department will establish a community of technology innovators at St. Jude, whose tools and techniques will accelerate scientific discovery and improve the understanding and diagnosis of catastrophic childhood diseases.
