France24.com (en) 

Richard Moore, 59, is to be put to death by lethal injection at 6:00 pm (2200 GMT) at a prison in Columbia, the state capital, barring a last-minute grant of clemency from the governor. Moore was sentenced to death in 2001 for the 1999 killing of James Mahoney, a white convenience store clerk, during what prosecutors said was a robbery attempt. Moore's lawyers deny he ever planned to rob the store. He entered the store unarmed, they said, but got into an argument with Mahoney because he was 11... Читать дальше...

Fueling greener aviation with hydrogen

Sciencedaily.com 

Despite ongoing efforts to curb CO2 emissions with electric and hybrid vehicles, other forms of transportation remain significant contributors of greenhouse gases. To address this issue, old technologies are being revamped to make them greener, such as the reintroduction of sailing vessels in shipping and new uses for hydrogen in aviation. Now, researchers have used computer modeling to study the feasibility and challenges of hydrogen-powered aviation.

Improving energy production by boosting singlet fission process

Sciencedaily.com 

Singlet fission (SF) is an exciton amplification phenomenon in which two triplet excitons are generated from a singlet exciton produced by the absorption of a single photon in chromophores. A team of researchers has demonstrated that SF can be promoted by introducing chirality and controlling chromophore orientation and arrangement. Their innovative study is expected to promote diverse applications in energy science, quantum, and information materials science, photocatalysis, solar cells, and life science.
