Staying well‑balanced is essential during your grad or postdoc journey. With deadlines, research, and projects piling up, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. We spoke with several grad students and postdocs about how they prioritize self‑care and handle pressure along the way.

At-home teeth whitening usually relies on sticky strips or toothpastes that might not quite get the job done. But researchers reporting in ACS Nano have a new strategy — they’ve created a whitening compound that is activated by the vibrations of an electric toothbrush. [1/2]

To help mitigate carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes and produce a useful chemical material in the process, researchers reporting in ACS Energy Letters designed a specialized electrode that can directly capture carbon dioxide and convert it into formic acid.
Turning industrial exhaust into useful materials with a new electrode - American Chemical Society
Researchers have designed a specialized electrode that captures airborne CO2 and directly converts it into a useful chemical material called formic acid.

Why don’t antibiotic-making bacteria self-destruct?
Early 2025, scientists discovered a new antibiotic produced by a bacterium that they found living in soil collected from a lab technician’s backyard in Canada. But they wondered how the bacterium avoids being harmed by its own antibiotic. [1/2]
