X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the surface chemistry of bio-based hybrid materials
Just a few atomic layers at the surface can strongly influence how effectively a material binds pollutants from water or how efficiently a photocatalyst responds to light. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP use X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the chemical states and interactions at the surfaces and interfaces of bio-based carbon materials and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. Their insights can support the targeted development of functional materials for future industrial applications.

Unconventional quantum materials could dramatically boost the search for dark matter
For decades, physicists have searched for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to make up roughly 85% of all matter in the universe. Although its gravitational influence shapes galaxies and the large-scale structure of the cosmos, dark matter has never been directly detected. Now, an international team has identified a new class of quantum materials that could dramatically improve the search for some of the lightest and most elusive forms of dark matter.

Natural clay reveals a new way to control ion transport at the angstrom scale
Researchers at the National Graphene Institute have shown that naturally occurring channels within a common clay mineral can respond to pressure, voltage and pH, offering possibilities for controlling the movement of ions through extremely small, confined spaces. The study, published in Advanced Materials, focuses on vermiculite, a naturally abundant layered clay whose structure contains channels only a few angstroms high, providing naturally confined pathways through which ions can move.

While the endpoint of this bump is well understood, its onset has remained elusive. Now, in a paper published by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Saskia Hekker, leader of the Theory and Observations of Stars group at the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS), finds that entropy is the key driver of the bump.

Netanyahu says Israel has 'absolute control' of certain Syrian area, vows to topple Iran's gov't
Digital Desk | Jerusalem, Sep 9 (IANS) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israeli troops inside Syria on Wednesday and said Israel had absolute control over a swathe of territory stretching from Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk River, while pledging to bring down Iran's government. We control the entire area from the summit of Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk, and from here to the Mediterranean Sea -- absolute control unlike anything we have had before, Netanyahu said in a video released by his office. Netanyahu, accompanied by Defence Minister Israel Katz and Deputy Chief of Staff Tamir Yadai, said Israel would not allow what he called a error army to establish itself on its border. He added that Israel was very close to defeating Iran's government and was committed to doing so, Xinhua News Agency reported. Netanyahu said on Sunday that the end of the regime in Iran is near and it is fighting for its life, noting that there is another mission to complete. He made these remarks at a Rosh Hashanah Toast during the government meeting. We are on the threshold of Rosh Hashanah, and more than ever, the State of Israel comes first. Thanks to the wise and courageous decisions we made together around this table, thanks to the heroism of our fighters, thanks to the resilience of our people we have achieved tremendous accomplishments. Israel is stronger than ever; our enemies are weaker than ever. Together with the United States, we have achieved tremendous successes in removing an existential threat hanging over our heads. We have pushed away atomic bombs and ballistic missiles, and we have struck the Iranian axis with immense power, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office quoted Netanyahu as saying. We are determined to defend ourselves; we are determined to strike our enemies. They are not attacking us. Iran is refraining from doing so, and it knows why. Of course, it could err and make the mistake of attacking us anyway. It will suffer a blow it cannot even imagine, the Israeli Prime Minister highlighted. He said that Israel is the strongest superpower in the Middle East and warned the enemies, 'Do not try us.' I say to our enemies: Do not try us. This (Israeli) people know how to unite in moments of testing, and right now it is the strongest superpower in the Middle East, and some say even beyond, Netanyahu added.
Delhi CM hails Centre's approval for separate Delhi PWD engineering cadre
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) The Central government has approved the Delhi governments proposal to create an independent engineering cadre for the Public Works Department (PWD), a long-pending reform expected to give the capital greater control over its engineering workforce and accelerate infrastructure projects. Under the decision, 3,214 sanctioned engineering posts across 36 categories in the Delhi PWD will be separated from the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) cadre and brought under a New Delhi PWD Engineering Cadre. The move ends nearly three decades of dependence on the central cadre for appointments and postings. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta welcomed the approval, describing it as a historic step towards making Delhi a developed, safe and world-class capital. In a post on X, she said the need for a separate PWD engineering cadre had been pending for almost 30 years. Our government took the decision, accelerated the process, and now, with the approval of the central government, the path has been paved for Delhi to have its own independent engineering cadre within a year and a half, she stated. Gupta expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for fulfilling the long-standing demand. The Delhi government said the separate cadre would enable faster filling of vacant posts, strengthen project monitoring and give fresh momentum to the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges and public buildings. It is also expected to make the engineering system more responsive to the capitals specific developmental and administrative requirements. Until now, Delhi PWDs engineering services were largely dependent on the CPWD cadre, with appointments routed through the central system. Officials noted that this arrangement sometimes delayed decisions tailored to the citys needs. With its own cadre, the Delhi government will have greater flexibility in managing vacancies, ensuring the availability of engineers, monitoring projects and deploying officials according to work requirements. The reform comes as the government prepares for several major projects, including a new Secretariat, mini-secretariats in all 11 districts, and works related to mandis, sports grounds and other public facilities. Sustained engineering support will also be required for ongoing road, bridge and infrastructure works across the capital. The government believes the independent cadre will improve accountability and transparency in the execution of public works by aligning the responsibilities of engineering officials more closely with the Delhi administrations framework.
