  1. #Scientists created #microscopic reactors capable of driving light-powered #chemical processes by designing metal complex surfactants (MeCSs) that self-assemble into #nanoscale spheres called micelles. This innovation could drastically reduce #pollution in industries including #pharmaceuticals and materials science, where harmful organic solvents are often necessary.

  3. Many industrial processes, including those producing aluminum and “green” hydrogen, use electrodes to speed up chemical reactions. Unfortunately, bubbles that form on the electrode reduce its efficiency anywhere from 10 to 25 percent by blocking parts of the electrode. The assumption has been that any area shadowed by bubbles is blocked, but a recent study shows that’s not the case. Instead, it’s only the electrode area in direct contact with the bubble that’s blocked.

    To show this, researchers looked at a smooth electrode where bubbles formed randomly (left) and a nanotextured one with many spots where bubbles could form (right). In the animation above, bubble shadows are highlighted with circles. There are clearly more bubbles on the nanotextured electrode, but it actually performs better than the smooth electrode because the bubble contact area is smaller. (Image and research credit: J.
