Description: In recent years, over 70 countries have committed to net-zero carbon emissions, aiming to become carbon neutral by mid-century. The 2015 Paris Agreement aimed to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius and ideally limit it to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels. Despite global efforts, emissions are still rising, and achieving the 1.5-degree goal has become increasingly difficult............
Abstract: Negative carbon emission technologies are critical for ensuring a future stable climate. However, the gaseous state of CO2 does render the indefinite storage of this greenhouse gas challenging. Herein, we created a liquid metal electrocatalyst that contains metallic elemental cerium nanoparticles, which facilitates the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to layered solid carbonaceous species....................
Description: Imagine a computer so powerful it could solve problems in minutes that would take today’s supercomputers millions of years. This isn’t science fiction—it’s Google’s reality. In December 2024, Google unveiled the revolutionary Willow Quantum Chip, setting a new milestone in quantum computing. In this video: How quantum mechanics powers these extraordinary computers. • Google’s journey from Sycamore to Willow. • Why Willow is a game-changer for error correction in quantum computing.......
