A research team led by Dr. Kee Young Koo from the Hydrogen Research Department at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (President: Yi Chang-Keun, hereafter referred to as KIER) has developed a novel and more cost-effective method for synthesizing ammonia decomposition catalysts.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona have used the platform developed for COVID-19 vaccines to create the world’s first mRNA-based vaccine against a deadly, antibiotic-resistant bacterium. In this groundbreaking study, the researchers tested the vaccine’s resistance to the virulent pathogen that causes the disease and were able to demonstrate 100% protection against infection in animal models. The researchers now hope that this technology can be used to combat other lethal bacteria as well.

The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory and JuggerBot 3D, an industrial 3D printer equipment manufacturer, have launched their second research and development collaboration through the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, or MDF, Technical Collaboration Program.

In a paper published in National Science Review, scientists demonstrate quantum key distribution using a room-temperature GaN-based single-photon source directly emitting in the telecom band in a deployed fiber link. Special technics are used to minimize the effect of Polarization Mode Dispersion.

An international group of researchers collected one hundred years’ worth of sounds from around the world to investigate how soundscapes differ between urban and natural environments. They also examined how these soundscapes change throughout the day and throughout the year. The research revealed that soundscape rhythms are less predictable for people living in urban areas than for animals in the wild.

Hybrid Photonic polycrystals with a synthetic hybrid dimension enable versatile control of edge channels and corner modes in multiple frequency bands.
