Visible-light-responsive nanocarbon was systematically synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, using citric acid and Congo Red; this nanocarbon exhibited visible-light absorption at 516 nm and photocatalytic activity for the carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction between benzylamine and ethyl cyanoacetate. Mechanistic investigations proved that this system generates radicals and the reactions proceed via radical pathways, which are confirmed by electron spin resonance.

2023 is a big year for Norway’s system of 500 rivers. From early June into September, a flood of salmon will swarm upstream in the Scandinavian nation’s river system to seek spawning grounds. With a 24-month breeding cycle, the arrival of Pacific salmon – also known as humpback salmon – peaks in odd years. While 2021 saw a record-breaking 111,700 Pacific salmon enter Norway’s rivers, 2023 is set to be a pivotal year, with its breeding cycle underway and numbers set to skyrocket – perhaps doubling.
