Illustration depicting a three-sectioned recycling sign surrounding a scene of two recycling bins with recyclables at varying states of decay. Scanning transmission electron microscope images reveal the elemental distribution in a “disordered” solid electrolyte. Artist’s rendering of a copper nanoparticle life cycle during CO2 electrolysis: Copper nanoparticles (left) combine into larger metallic copper “nanograins” (right) within seconds of the electrochemical reaction, reducing CO2 into new multicarbon products. A black and white microscopy image of the material; it looks like zoomed in scratches on a hard surface on the left, then the same image in vivid multicolor on the right. Diagram of carbon dioxide being converted into solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis. Graphic illustration depicting three scenes surrounding a spinning microchip. Light microscopy image of nanowires. Scientist conducting an experiment in the lab. A 2D material sample that is held within an ultrahigh vacuum, low-temperature scanning probe microscope. video footage depicting nanoparticle growth Illustration depicting two plants in the sunlight. One of the plants is bionic and has attached cords. Electron microscope images show the precise atom-by-atom structure of a barium titanate (BaTiO3) thin film sandwiched between layers of strontium ruthenate (SrRuO3) metal to make a tiny capacitor.
