Visualizing the pH profile inside the catholyte of a CO2 electrolysis cell

CO2 electrolysis to form CO with the use of electricity from renewable sources is a promising technique in closing the carbon cycle. Via the electrochemical reduction CO2 can be converted into different hydrocarbon products. These value-added products are for example CO, HCOOH, CH3OH or C2H4. The direct electrochemical route of CO2 reduction is...

Biophysical mechanisms responsible for ultrasound neuromodulation in bilayer lipid membranes: Enabling the research that uncovers the mysterious interactions between ultrasound and neurons

Medical technology has seen great progress over the last centuries, developing increasingly more specialised therapy to benefit human health. The rise of the pharmaceutical industry and the research it drives are contributors to this success. However, in humanity's attempt to tackle more and more complex health issues, the conventional methods...
