Electrical guardrails for charge carriers: A new approach to harness graphene for solar cells
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms in which electrons can move with high mobility, making it promising for high-speed electronic components. Yet it is not very efficient at converting light into electricity. While light absorbed by graphene does excite electrons, leaving behind positively charged carriers called

Measuring multiple reactions on a single electrode with extraordinary sensitivity
A reaction on a single electrode can tell scientists a remarkable amount about the chemical nature and number of analytes involved. The challenge comes when they want to distinguish many reactions on the same electrode. After more than a decade of trying to overcome that limitation, Ravi Saraf and his Nebraska Engineering graduate students have demonstrated a way to quantify many reactions on the same electrode without sacrificing extraordinary sensitivity.
Chemical recycling turns silicone waste into reusable building blocks with up to 99% yield
Silicones are widely used in industry, medicine and everyday products due to their exceptional thermal and chemical stability. However, it is precisely these properties that have made recycling silicones extremely problematic in the past. Researchers at the Institute of Chemistry at TU Berlin have now succeeded in breaking down the polymer chains of silicone molecules into their basic building blocks. The resulting molecule dimethyldichlorosilane can then be reused as a starting material for the production of new silicone compounds.

They found that crowding promoted droplet formation and enabled control over droplet size, interactions and organization. The findings could support the development of programmable artificial cell systems.
Molecular architecture determines tomato plant resistance to its main pest
An international study investigating why wild tomatoes are more resistant to the tomato leafminer (Phthorimaea absoluta) than cultivated varieties revealed that the secret lies in the spatial structure of a plant defense molecule. The researchers mapped the biochemical origin of this difference and demonstrated that altering four amino acids in a single enzyme is sufficient to alter the structure of the substance and increase its toxicity against the pest. This finding paves the way for creating resistant tomatoes through gene editing.
Explaining the difference between brittle and ductile behavior in polymer glasses
Glasses are (mostly) brittle, metals can be ductile (plastic), and liquids flow easily. Polymers are interesting because they exhibit all three types of behavior, depending on their chemical nature, temperature, and deformation rate. If polymers are not able to crystallize, their low-temperature state is glassy, and they are hard and transparent. One example is poly(methylmethacrylate) [PMMA], which has been used as an artificial glass since the early 20th century.
Chornobyl dog population shows genetic signatures of directional selection
The latest research on the wild population of dogs in Chornobyl reveals that the genetic differences between these dogs and other similarly isolated dog populations are likely evidence of directional selection, not mutation.

The study appears in Genes.
Could next-gen artificial intelligence help map out future space outposts?
Planning a successful trip can be challenging, especially when your destination is in outer space. Even before liftoff, space missions require extraordinary amounts of scientific preparation and data analysis to succeed, which can take years to complete.

Extracellular vesicle discovery may shed light on how cancer spreads
A team from the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) have discovered a new type of extracellular vesicle released by migrating cancer cells, revealing a previously unknown way in which these cells shed their DNA as they move. Published today in the journal Nature Cell Biology, the findings show that these cells release tiny structures called motile vesicles (MoVes), which carry their genetic material, including cancer-associated mutations. The discovery raises important questions about the role these vesicles may play in cancer progression.

NASA systems engineering team details Habitable Worlds Observatory mission architecture
Finding an Earth-like world beyond the solar system is the holy grail of exoplanet research, and the field has seen remarkable technological advances in detecting and studying exoplanets since the first confirmed exoplanet around a sun-like star was discovered in 1995. These advances include ground- and space-based telescopes, notably the James Webb Space Telescope. Although astronomers have already directly imaged some exoplanets, directly imaging Earth-like planets around sun-like stars remains a major technological challenge, primarily because these planets are extremely faint compared with their host stars and appear very close to them in the sky.

India On Japans Missile Map: Why Tokyo Wants to Test Its 1,000-Km Missiles On Indian Ranges
India could become Japans new training ground for long-range weapons. Japanese officials have reportedly travelled to India to examine missile ranges and defence facilities. The focus is on the Type 25 anti-ship missile, which has an estimated range of around 1,000 kilometres, along with small attack drones. Japan has previously conducted missile drills with the United States and Australia. India could become the next major partner. The logic is practical. Japan needs space, maritime safety zones and controlled airspace to train effectively. India has all three in greater abundance. The arrangement is not final. But the strategic implications are already visible. A Japanese missile tested in India would mark a new phase in Indo-Pacific defence cooperation.
