Discovered: 10 times more efficient hydrogen production

Hydrogen is an alternative source of energy that can be produced from renewable sources of sunlight and water. A group of Japanese researchers has developed a photocatalyst that increases hydrogen production tenfold. The discovery was made by a joint research team led by Associate Professor TACHIKAWA Takashi (Molecular Photoscience Research Center, Kobe University) and Professor

New compound switches between liquid and solid states when exposed to light or heat

A research group led by Professor MOCHIDA Tomoyuki (Kobe University Graduate School of Science) and Dr. FUNASAKO Yusuke (Tokyo University of Science, Yamaguchi) has developed a metal-containing compound which transforms into a solid when exposed to light and returns to liquid form when heated. This substance could potentially be used for photolithography technology, such as
