Accelerating Scientific Research: Connecting Labs Around the World
Global challenges demand global solutions. In this paper, we show a distributed self-driving lab architecture in The World Avatar, linking robots in Cambridge and Singapore for asynchronous multi-objective reaction optimisation.
A Grand Challenge
Stapled α-helical peptides, can bind to and modulate therapeutic targets that have been historically out of reach with traditional modalities. However, it has been challenging to design stapled peptides that have both good cell permeability and behave well. Our team aimed to address this challenge.
Fe–Ni-based alloys: highly active and low-cost alkaline oxygen evolution reaction catalyst
Water electrolysis in alkaline media enables to produce green hydrogen, an endeavor for renewable electricity storage. However, it is hindered by its low conversion efficiency (overvoltage of water electrolysis reactions), the catalysts' abundance, cost and manufacturability, and their durability.
Durable electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to ethylene system via eliminating carbonate formation
Efficient CO2 reduction is crucial in fighting climate change. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECO2R) with renewable energy is promising, but alkaline conditions and alkali cations pose challenges. Our pure-water-fed system overcomes these, paving the way for a stable and efficient ECO2R process.
