Black Gold’s Light-Driven Chemistry Reuses Carbon Dioxide Instead of Producing it

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

Cancer Treatment: Enhancing the Effectiveness of Radiation Therapy with Multifunctional Nanoparticles

A newly designed three-in-one nanosystem for cancer treatment is truly unique and multifunctional. It enhances radiation therapy by sensitising the cancer cells to radiation, delivers multiple drugs and on-demand drug delivery that gets triggered by radiation for chemotherapeutics at the tumour site, and improves the contrast of tumour for X-ray/CT imaging
