Synthesis of 2D Transition Metal Selenides?

In materials science, some breakthroughs seem to upend our most basic assumptions. Take, for instance, the synthesis of two-dimensional transition metal selenides (TMSs) without using hydrogen, a feat that sounds almost impossible given the conventional wisdom. Hydrogen assists have been the norm, hailed for overcoming the stubborn stability of selenium molecules. Yet, researchers have devised […]

Forests, Nitrogen, and Carbon Storage

Young tropical forests could be holding back our fight against climate change—because they’re starving for nitrogen. Researchers have discovered that nitrogen addition could boost biomass accumulation by nearly 50% in young forests. Nutrient shortage sounds vague, but think of it like baking a cake. Without the right ingredients, even a brilliant baker can’t whip up […]
