Old drains and railways are full of life. Here’s how to make the most of these overlooked green spaces
Credit: Ellysa Jordens of Pexels The rest of the overlooked green spaces are everywhere throughout Australian cities. Think of all the land along storm drains, rail lines and vacant lots. Although often dismissed as useless or unsightly, there is a growing understanding of the value these spaces bring to the city. These informal green spaces support biodiversity and offer rare…

Green Labeling Tools Show Protein Chemistry Advances
Credit: Tracey Nowmy/Anu A new, easy-to-use method for quickly modifying and labeling proteins accurately and at low cost has been developed by chemists at the Australian National University (ANU). This study has been published in the journal Chem. Protein labeling is the process of attaching markers to proteins, which can be viewed under a microscope. This is an important tool…

Research shows that green consumers focus on brands and fashionability
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The researchers examined the interconnection of consumer profiles of green and non-green consumers in Finland, Sweden and the UK, as well as consumer background factors such as green attitudes and income levels. Green and non-green consumers were featured on the basis of taking into account ecological production, local production, price, quality, brand and fashionability in their…

From cages to sponge: Transform morphs of clathrate materials into powerful green hydrogen catalysts
The Ba8ni6ge40 is made up of polyhedral cages made of nickel (gray) and germanium (purple), each containing barium atoms. Credit: Hongyuan Yang/Hzb/Tub Clathrates are characterized by complex cage structures that also provide space for guest ions. Now, the team is the first to investigate the compatibility of clathrates as catalysts for electrolytic hydrogen production with impressive results. The clathrate samples…

Research on artificial photosynthesis represents a step forward towards green hydrogen
Credit: Carbon (2024). doi:10.1016/j.carbon.2024.119951 How can we produce clean hydrogen without burning fossil hydrocarbons and other non-renewable energy sources? This can be done via photoelectrochemical or artificial photosynthesis. It uses sunlight and water, like photosynthesis, to obtain hydrogen without producing harmful emissions. A group of researchers from the Faculty of Physics at Trent University focuses precisely on this approach. This…

Why is ruby red and emerald green? These colors come from the same metal with the atomic structure
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain Ruby and emerald colors are very impressive, so they define red and green colors, red and emerald green. But have you ever wondered how they would do those colors? I am an inorganic chemist. Researchers in my field work to understand the chemistry of all elements that make up the periodic table. Many inorganic chemists are…

Nanocylbar complexes derived from green tea indicate anti -black acoustic activity.
Credit: nadezhda Ivanova Blackoma is a rapidly progressing skin that features high mortality after transition. Local chemotherapy can be regarded as a treatment approach only during surgical removal (in Situ melanoma) and postoperative stages while suspected of skin lesions. For this purpose, drugs such as Imikimodo, 5-fluorouracil, Dakarbazine, and Doxorbicin have been tested, indicating positive effects. Recently, the metal nanoparticle…
