Direct electrochemical liquid ammonia splitting enables efficient onsite hydrogen generation at room temperature and low pressure (<1 MPa) using Ru nanoparticles on nitrogen-doped carbon. This breakthrough overcomes high-temperature barriers in traditional ammonia decomposition, offering a sustainable pathway for hydrogen production with superior activity and 100-hour stability, surpassing Pt/C catalysts.

Following the development of diffusion models that generate art and video from simple prompts, researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have created an artificial intelligence (AI) system that turns text descriptions into accurate architectural images. The model overcomes a major limitation in AI-design tools that only provide visual representations without structural accuracy. The system generates building images that follow structural rules, making AI tools more useful and reliable for architectural design.
