Research proposes a modular customization strategy for defect-free MOF separation membranes
A modular customization strategy was applied for efficient MOF membrane fabrication. MOF material screening, defect-free membrane output, membrane physicochemical property regulation and separation applications can be rapidly realized by separately designing and modifying the MOF module within the membrane. High separation performance is easily achieved, which can meet diverse separation requirements. Credit: Angewandte Chemie International…

Children beat large language models in solving a simple problem
Large language models like ChatGPT are immensely powerful — the first artificial intelligences to produce truly human-like content. They are already being used to provide customer service, write software, and aid in drug discovery, among many other applications. But despite their genuine potential to change how society works and functions, large language models get trounced…

Tracking down quantum fluctuations of the vacuum to explore the limits of physics
The X-ray beam from the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL, only becomes as clearly visible as in the photo in complete darkness and with an exposure time of 90 seconds. In 2024, the first experiments to detect quantum fluctuations in vacuum will take place here. Credit: European XFEL / Jan Hosan Absolutely empty—that…

A new RSV shot could help protect babies this winter—if they can get it in time
Credit: CC0 Public Domain A RSV new therapy for infants, called nirsevimab, started shipping in September. By mid-October, demand for nirsevimab, sold under the brand name Beyfortus, had already outstripped supply, according to the pharmaceutical company Sanofi, which developed the drug with AstraZeneca. In response, the CDC issued interim guidance Oct. 23 to help… Continue…

Endangered turtle population under threat as pollution may lead to excess female hatchlings
Hatchlings of the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas, on Heron Island, Australia. Credit: Arthur D Barraza Green sea turtles, Chelonia mydas, are listed as endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. They are at risk of extinction due to poaching, collisions with boats, habitat destruction, and accidental capture in fishing gear. But another…

Modular metal-organic frameworks unlock customizable high-performance membranes
Nov 13, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Membrane-based separation technologies offer major advantages over conventional processes like distillation in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact. However, current membrane materials still face limitations in their ability to achieve highly selective separations at industrially viable flux rates. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged over the past two decades as…

From Kyiv to Taipei: Unraveling the impact of space on military and Taiwan’s daunting prospects
In the wake of the full-scale Russian invasion, global attention has focused on Western military support extended to Ukraine. Much of this recognition centers on the provision of conventional resources, such as ammunition, fighting vehicles, tanks, artillery, air defense systems, and, of course, the famously effective High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). While media narratives…
