A University of Liverpool researcher has contributed to new research that demonstrates a completely novel type of molecular motor.
, a research team show a new molecular motor that moves with perfect uni-directionality along an atomically defined straight line.to the study which is led by the University of Graz.that are capable of converting external energy into directional motion. It is an exciting area of research which was recognized by the 2016 Nobel prize for Chemistry.
When excited by an internal molecular vibration, the molecules move with remarkable 100% uni-directionality as followed at theThe study did not observe a single backward motion in thousands of experiments. This directionality is intrinsic to the adsorbate motor and pushing or pulling by the atomically sharp tip of the microscope is not required.

Novel titanium dioxide catalyst shows promise for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reductionThe conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, to useful resources such as carbon monoxide, formic acid, and methanol and their byproducts is considered a promising route to mitigating global warming as well as generating economic value. One approach to CO2 conversion is through electrocatalytic reduction.

Novel titanium dioxide catalyst support for electrocatalytic carbon dioxide reductionCarbon dioxide can be electrocatalytically reduced to useful resources using conventional catalysts such as gold or lead supported on conductive carbon. However, the high pH environment near electrodes often degrades the catalyst support, rendering them ineffective. Now, researchers have developed novel in-liquid plasma-treated titanium dioxide electrode decorated with silver nanoparticles as an alternate catalyst support, facilitating enhanced conversion of carbon dioxide to useful products, such as syngas, a clean alternative to fossil fuels.
