The power of sunlight: Predicting global lake pollution reduction through photochemistry
Global distribution of 3CDOM* concentrations in lakes. Credit: Eco Environment and Health The research investigates how natural photochemical reactions can help break down emerging pollutants in freshwater systems, with a particular focus on clofibric acid and diclofenac. This study focuses on the contrasting effects of triplet sensitization and direct photolysis and provides new insights into how these processes can reduce…

Biologically inspired hydrogel harnesses sunlight: one step closer to artificial photosynthesis
Bio-based hydrogels that harness sunlight to convert water into hydrogen fuel, effectively mimicking natural processes to create sustainable energy solutions. Provided by: JAIST Kosuke Okeyoshi Mimicking the way plants convert sunlight into energy has long been a dream of scientists looking to create renewable energy solutions. Artificial photosynthesis is a process that uses sunlight to trigger chemical reactions that attempt…
