Researchers at UNIST have developed a groundbreaking method to improve the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells, a crucial eco-friendly energy source. By using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with guest molecules of low acidity, they significantly enhanced hydrogen ion conductivity in solid electrolytes. MOFs’ porous structures allowed for the introduction of guest molecules, increasing conductivity levels. This advancement holds immense promise for more efficient and durable hydrogen fuel cells, aligning with global decarbonization efforts.

What does peer review accomplish?
The scientific standard of a paper is guaranteed by peer review. An author’s manuscript is assessed by people having expertise in the same area of research. These experts are called peers. For any scholarly publication, a manuscript has to go through the peer review process of that particular journal. The Purpose of Peer Review Peer […]
Persistence of S. Capitis NRCS-A Clone in NICUs: Implications for Infection Control
Late-onset neonatal sepsis, especially in pre-term infants, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Coagulase-negative staphylococci, particularly Staphylococcus capitis NRCS-A, are common culprits, posing challenges due to antibiotic resistance. A UK study investigated NRCS-A contamination in NICUs. The bacterium was found in zones close to infected infants, emphasizing the need for stringent hygiene practices. […]
