Newswise — Hydrogen peroxide is one of the world’s most important chemicals, but its current production relies on an energy-intensive anthraquinone process that generates substantial waste. Electrochemical synthesis via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction offers a cleaner alternative — yet in seawater, chloride ions tend to poison the catalyst surface, blocking active sites and lowering efficiency. Meanwhile, the chlorine evolution reaction can turn those same chloride ions into valuable active chlorine, but most existing systems pair oxygen reduction with oxygen evolution, a reaction that produces low-value O₂. Coupling the two-electron oxygen reduction with chlorine evolution in a single seawater electrolyzer would be ideal, but it demands a catalyst that can attract chloride ions at the anode while repelling them at the cathode — two opposing requirements that have made this goal elusive. Based on these challenges, a deeper investigation into catalyst architectures capable of resolving this conflict is urgently needed. A team led by researchers at East China Normal University, in collaboration with The University of Queensland, Fuzhou University, and Shanghai University, reports a Janus conductive metal-organic framework-on-conductive-metal-organic framework heterostructure that enables simultaneous production of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and active chlorine by seawater electrolysis.

First Hormone-Free Male Birth Control Pill Shown Safe in Early Human Trial A hormone-free pill, called YCT-529, that temporarily stops sperm production by blocking a vitamin A metabolite has just concluded its first safety trial in humans, getting a step closer to increasing male contraceptive options By Hannah Seo edited by Lauren J. Young Photo composite of human egg (oocyte) and sperm (spermatozoon), colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Dennis Kunkel Microscopy/Science Source When it comes to birth control, the market has long been skewed: female contraception comes in a variety of pills, implants, injections and devices, all approved by U.S.

The Pfs230:Pfs48/45 complex is the target of leading anti-malaria transmission-blocking vaccine candidates, yet its molecular assembly is poorly understood. Bekkering, Yoo, Hailemariam, et al. determined the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the endogenous Pfs230:Pfs48/45 complex bound to six potent transmission-blocking antibodies, providing a structural basis for antibody inhibition and blueprints for the design of next-generation malaria vaccines.
