Richard Zare discusses how helping China develop scientifically can benefit the West

Why Help a Growing Scientific Giant?

Organic Solar Cells with Record Efficiency
Record power conversion efficiency for polymer-based solar cells achieved by the incorporation of vertically oriented nanorods

Produce Electric Power by Walking
Researchers reversed electrowetting to eventually allow us to produce power from a source implanted in our shoe soles

Missing Fuel for Star Formation Located
The origin of the gas that lets the Milky Way maintain star formation has been discovered

Mechanism of Melanin Protection Uncovered
Melanin’s ability to protect from radiation comes from electric current that allows regeneration

New World Record for Magnetic Fields
US researchers have set a new world record with a pulsed magnetic field of 97.4 T, breaking record set only weeks before

Extending Cell Life by Quicker Capture
New technique that captures cells quickly and keeps them alive longer could help medical researchers run longer experiments

Single-Atom Imaging of Industrial Catalysts
State-of-the-art electron microscopy methods confirm for the first time the position of sulfur atoms at the edges of MoS2 nanocatalysts

Active Nanotube Adsorption Sites Uncovered
New understanding of carbon catalyst surface could aid development of commercial catalyst for oxidative dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons
