Read MoreAn international research consortium has developed an innovative heterogeneous single-atom copper photocatalyst supported on functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (Cu@f-gC3N4). The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, describes an efficient methodology for the selective N-demethylation of aliphatic and aromatic tertiary amines. Operating under exceptionally mild conditions with visible-light irradiation, the system utilizes molecular oxygen as […]
Read MoreA calendar created in 813 has been rediscovered in Florence, where the discrepancy between the Julian calendar and the solar year is already corrected. This discovery predates the full recognition of this phenomenon by more than seven centuries, which was only formalized with the Gregorian Reform of 1582. The discovery is the result of a […]

Read MoreAccording to the results published by ANVUR following the conclusion of the 2020–2024 Research Quality Assessment (VQR), as in the previous 2014-2019 edition CNR-ICCOM demonstrates performance above the average in the disciplinary areas in which it is most strongly represented. In Area 3 (Chemical Sciences), ICCOM achieved I = 0.75 and R1_2 = 1.09, ranking […]
Read MoreConverting greenhouse gases into industrial resources is a key challenge in the ecological transition. A major achievement in this direction has been reached by an international consortium led by the University of Bayreuth (Germany), whose study was published on June 4, 2026, in the journal Science. The project benefited from a crucial scientific and infrastructural […]
Read MoreCarried out in collaboration with the National Roman Museum, thanks to PRIN (Projects of Relevant National Interest) funding, the research investigates the technologies and materials used to assemble, secure, and restore statues and other marble works in ancient Rome. The investigation is made possible by the exceptionally diverse collections held at the National Roman Museum’s […]
