Single-Atom Indium Catalyst Enables Efficient CO2-to-Methanol Conversion

ETH Zurich researchers engineered a hafnium oxide-supported single-atom indium catalyst that dramatically lowers the energy required to convert CO2 and hydrogen into methanol, with each indium atom acting as an active site. This design offers clearer insight into reaction mechanisms, improved efficiency over nanoparticle catalysts, and durability under industrial conditions, potentially accelerating climate-friendly methanol production if powered by renewables.

"Advancements in Brain-Inspired Computing: The Rise of Next-Generation AI Semiconductor Devices"

A research team has developed a next-generation AI semiconductor technology that mimics the human brain's efficiency in AI and neuromorphic systems. The technology uses synaptic field-effect transistors with hafnium oxide and thin layers of tin disulfide to create a three-terminal neuromorphic device capable of storing multiple levels of data similar to neurons. This device responds 10,000 times faster than human synapses and consumes very little energy, marking an important step toward next-generation computing architecture with low power consumption and high-speed computation.
