A fully light-driven catalytic system was able to reuse greenhouse gas rather than produce it by converting CO2 to CO while upgrading propane to propene in a single tandem process without relying on external heating or external supply of hydrogen. Instead, hydrogen released when propane is converted into propene was used to transform carbon dioxide

An AI tool developed by IIT Madras has made discovery of highly safe, effective drug analogues easily possible. In the case of the FDA-approved cancer drug Sorafenib, starting from its original structure, PURE produced hundreds of thousands of possible analogues, and then narrowed them down using basic drug-likeness filters. A manageable group of candidates that were selected exhibited docking scores comparable to, and in some cases, superior to those of Sorafenib

In an anode-less sodium battery, sodium deposits unevenly and grows into spiky shapes called dendrites, which can lead to huge problems. Creating a patterned current collector — tiny islands of carbon on copper — solves the problem as the collector guides sodium to the carbon islands, creates sharp boundaries that attract charged ions more predictably, and encourages sodium to spread sideways instead of shooting upward

That scientists who pioneered the revolutionary CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology, the biggest game-changer in biology in recent years, will win the Nobel Prize was never in doubt; it was only a question of when and who would get recognised for the work done to develop the tool.
