A nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is a flaw in the diamond crystal structure that occurs when an adjacent lattice site becomes unoccupied and a nitrogen atom takes the place of a carbon atom.

Vanadium redox flow batteries, which can store a significant amount of energy and are used by a variety of industries, including electric power utilities, have a successful method for reducing charge capacity loss described in an article published by researchers at the Center for Development of Functional Materials (PDFF) in Brazil. The Chemical Engineering Journal published the article.

Scientists at the Botucatu Institute of Biosciences (IBB-UNESP) at São Paulo State University in Brazil have created a unique biomaterial that accelerates the differentiation of osteoblasts, or bone cells. The innovation could be applied in the future to a variety of operations, including bone grafting, bone regeneration, and dental implant recovery.

An urgent environmental concern has been brought to light by a ground-breaking scientific study carried out along the Southeast coast of India: the growing likelihood of invasive species colonizing marine debris.

Acetone is a critical chemical industry input that is used in the production of a broad range of products, including adhesives, antibiotics, electronic components, solvents and removers, inks, and vitamins.

A Brazilian study sets the stage for increased efficiency in second-generation (2G) ethanol production by identifying fresh targets for metabolic engineering in a much more robust strain of industrial yeast.

According to recent research published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, the number of active fires documented in the Brazilian Amazon in August–September 2022 was the greatest since 2010.

The existence of heavy metals like cadmium and lead are present in cosmetics, food, batteries, and other things that are a part of daily life.

According to recent research published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science by Brazilian researchers working in Brazil, Norway, and the United States, an increase in marine heatwaves as a result of global climate change in the coming years will have a huge impact on lifeforms in the environment, including those at the bottom of the food chain.

A European consortium headed by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), École Polytechnique (Paris), EPFL, hes-so, and TRUMPF has managed to direct lightning by making use of a high-power laser installed at the top of Mount Säntis located in Switzerland.
