Light-powered reactions could make the chemical manufacturing industry more energy-efficient
Light-powered reactions could make the chemical manufacturing industry more energy-efficient A team of scientists has developed a system that uses light to power chemical reactions, which could make the chemical manufacturing industry more energy-efficient. The system, called photoredox catalysis, uses an organic catalyst that absorbs multiple photons of light and stores energy to kick-start reactions […]

Soft robot can ride wires like a cable car to deliver cargo
Soft robot can ride wires like a cable car to deliver cargo Researchers have created a light-powered soft robot that can carry loads through the air along established tracks, similar to cable cars or aerial trams. The soft robot operates autonomously and can climb slopes at angles of up to 80 degrees, carrying loads up […]
