Researchers at ETH Zurich have engineered a catalyst using isolated indium atoms on hafnium oxide to convert CO2 and hydrogen into methanol more efficiently than previous methods. This single-atom design maximizes metal use and enables clearer study of reaction mechanisms. The breakthrough could support sustainable chemical production if powered by renewables.

The American Energy Institute has released a report alleging political bias in a climate science chapter of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence, a guide for federal judges. The Federal Judicial Center removed the chapter from its version, but the National Academies continues to publish it online. National Academy of Sciences President Marcia McNutt defended the decision, citing the joint development process.
