Chemists at Queen’s University Belfast (Ireland) have devised a novel environmentally friendly technique which allows the rapid production of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The technology is to be commercialized by a spin-out from the University, MOF Technologies. Example of mechanochemical production of a MOF. Pichon et al.

Scientists at the University of Kent (UK) and University College Cork (Ireland) have manipulated simple bacteria into constructing internal empty bacterial microcompartments (BMC) from five shell proteins in which biofuels or vaccines could be produced. A paper on the work was published in the journal Molecular Cell.

Researchers at Stanford, with colleagues at University College Cork in Ireland, have shown how to increase the power of corrosion-resistant solar cells, setting a record for solar energy output under water. Instead of pumping electricity into the grid, the power these cells produce would be used in the production of solar fuels.

Researchers at University of Limerick and University College Cork (Ireland) have developed high-performance and high-capacity lithium-ion battery anodes from high-density tin-seeded germanium nanowire arrays grown directly from the current collector. The illustration shows the formation of the porous network over time.
