CO₂ Capture Breakthroughs: Advanced Materials and Mega-Projects to Pull Carbon from Air and Industry

Прориви у вловлюванні CO₂: передові матеріали та мегапроєкти для видалення вуглецю з повітря та промисловості

У 2024 році концентрація CO₂ в атмосфері досягла приблизно 426 частин на мільйон, що приблизно на 50% вище за доіндустріальний рівень. Дослідники Каліфорнійського університету в Берклі розробили цинк-гідридний MOF під назвою ZnH-MFU-4_l, який може уловлювати CO₂ з гарячих димових газів при 300°C

The Enzyme Revolution: How Engineering Nature’s Catalysts is Transforming Medicine, Food & the Planet

Ензимна революція: як інженерія природних каталізаторів змінює медицину, харчування та планету

Світовий ринок промислових ферментів у 2019 році становив близько 9 мільярдів доларів і, за прогнозами, до 2027 року досягне 13,8 мільярда доларів. Спрямований мутагенез, винайдений у 1970-х роках Майклом Смітом, дозволяє здійснювати точкові заміни амінокислот у ферментах і приніс йому Нобелівську премію

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Sponge-Like Crystals Poised to Transform Carbon Capture, Clean Energy and More

Метал-органічні каркаси (MOFs): кристали, схожі на губку, які можуть змінити уловлювання вуглецю, чисту енергетику та інші сфери

MOF мають світовий рекорд внутрішньої площі поверхні до приблизно 7 000 м^2 на грам, а теоретичні розробки — до 14 600 м^2/г. За приблизно 20 років дослідники створили майже 90 000 унікальних структур MOF, а теорія передбачає ще сотні тисяч. MOF —

  • Nvidia and Intel Slide as Tech Stocks Falter; Wells Fargo Surges on Strong Earnings
    October 15, 2025, 10:02 AM EDT. Tech and AI stocks weighed on the day as Nvidia slid over 4% and Intel dropped after a Bank of America downgrade, dragging the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lower. Arista Networks fell nearly 6% on competition fears after Nvidia disclosed that major AI players would deploy its switches. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo jumped more than 7% after beating profit expectations and lifting its outlook. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell signaled room for two more rate cuts this year, boosting housing-linked shares such as Builders FirstSource. Humana tumbled about 3.5% after a Texas court ruling upheld CMS's Medicare Advantage star-rating downgrades.

  • BCE unveils three-year strategic plan prioritizing fibre, wireless, AI and digital media ahead of investor day
    October 15, 2025, 10:01 AM EDT. BCE Inc. outlined a three-year growth plan during investor day, centering on fibre expansion, wireless growth, AI-powered enterprise solutions and digital media. The plan includes launching home internet in Western Canada by reselling fibre on rivals' networks under the CRTC wholesale framework, targeting higher-value customers and bundled offers. Bell also signaled new tiered wireless plans, a spring 2026 backup option to maintain service during outages, and a move to eliminate TV set-top boxes while expanding streaming bundles. The company aims to strengthen customer cross-sell, boost network penetration in the east, and improve wireless performance in the west, even as it negotiates a contentious regulatory framework with Bell historically opposing wholesale access.

  • Honor's Compact Flagship Rumored with 200MP Camera and Periscope Lens
    October 15, 2025, 9:59 AM EDT. New leaks suggest Honor is testing a compact flagship with a 200MP main sensor and a periscope telephoto lens for a 2025 release. The device is rumored to sport a 6.31-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 series chipset, and equipped with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint scanner. Aimed at portability without sacrificing performance, the phone may include wireless charging and eSIM support, with early chatter calling it a slim, light design comparable to premium mid-range models. If real, this compact Honor phone could balance flagship imaging with pocketable dimensions and become a strong contender in the small-screen market next year.
