It sounds like magic: photoelectrodes could convert the greenhouse gas CO 2 back into methanol or N 2 molecules into valuable fertiliser - using only the energy of sunlight. An HZB study has now shown that diamond materials are in principle suitable for such photoelectrodes. By combining X-ray spectroscopic techniques at BESSY II with other measurement methods, Tristan Petit's team has succeeded for the first time in precisely tracking which processes are excited by light as well as the crucial role of the surface of the diamond materials.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — The Nevada secretary of state's office will hold a presidential primary for Republican voters, despite the Nevada GOP saying they'll only honor the results of their party-run caucus to choose the Republican presidential nominee. A second longshot Republican presidential candidate cast their name on the presidential primary ballot Friday, triggering a 2021 state law that requires the Nevada secretary of state's office to hold a presidential primary for the party. Two presidential nominating contests are now scheduled over the span of three days in February, which could result in widespread confusion for Republican voters.

Remember Donald Trump, the guy who, roughly 300 weeks ago , promised that his tremendous Obamacare replacement was just weeks away, and who was reportedly determined to pull the U.S. out of NATO in his second term ? Now he's telling the world how easy it would be to end his buddy Vladimir Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine.  In fact, Trump has convinced both himself and his brutally overworked  Adderall fairies that there'd be no war in Ukraine if he were still president. Which might be true! Putin might already be finished with Ukraine and be fixing to blitzkrieg Poland by now.

CREEPING DANGER | Lava, rocks and other debris creep down the slopes of Mayon Volcano on July 2, as seen in this photo taken at Legazpi Boulevard in Legazpi City, Albay. (Photo contributed by DENNIS MIRABUENO) LEGAZPI CITY, Albay, Philippines — As Mt. Mayon continued to display an increasing level of restiveness, the volcano on Monday spewed ash affecting two localities in Albay province, with brownish plumes created by pyroclastic density currents (PDC) reaching up to 500 meters. The ashfall was recorded in Ligao City, which prompted students of Ligao National High School to seek cover, and also in Guinobatan town, according to local authorities.

Efforts to reduce UK universities' dependence on China have in some cases stalled or are going backwards, according to a new report led by former universities minister . UK institutions benefit from the higher tuition fees paid by Chinese students, while China has also become an increasingly entrenched collaborator on research, as well as a key source of doctoral students crucial to the strength of the UK's research system, the paper says. Sudden disruption to student flows and collaboration because of further geopolitical tensions with China would therefore be highly damaging for the UK's knowledge economy.

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has raised its concern over the delay in the deliberation of bills that prohibit all forms of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, expression, and sex characteristics (Sogie) in Congress. 'As Gender Ombud, and as a National Human Rights Institution, we call on our lawmakers to ensure the continued deliberation of the Sogie Equality Bills in both houses of Congress,' CHR said in a statement issued on Saturday. 'While the Commission respects the internal rules of Congress and supports the call to ensure that all stakeholders are heard on this important measure, the same cannot be used to derail and stop considerations of the measure altogether,' it added.

TOKYO – The Bank of Japan (BOJ) on Friday kept ultra-low interest rates but announced a broad review of its monetary policy, laying the groundwork for new Governor Kazuo Ueda to gradually phase out his predecessor's massive stimulus program. As widely expected, the BOJ made no changes to its yield curve control (YCC) policy that sets a short-term interest rate target of -0.1 percent and that for the 10-year bond yield around zero. But the central bank modified its guidance on the future policy path and removed a pledge to keep interest rates at 'current or lower levels.
