Groundbreaking Advance! Novel Topological Chiral Crystal Catalyst Boosts Water Splitting Hydrogen Production Efficiency by 200 TimesScientists at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have achieved a remarkable breakthrough, developing a unique topological chiral crystal and successfully applying it as a catalyst in the water-splitting process for hydrogen production. Published in the latest issue of Nature Energy, this research dramatically increases the efficiency of hydrogen production from water electrolysis by a staggering 200 times through the ingenious manipulation of electron spins within the crystal...

Science and Technology Daily (reporter Zhang Jiaxin) A few days ago, a team led by Professor Andrew Cleland of the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) of the University of Chicago used a device called an acoustic beam splitter to "split" phonons, thereby demonstrating their quantum properties. They demonstrated that beam splitters can be used to induce a special quantum superposition state of a phonon and further generate interference between two phonons...
