The way in which we develop the Urban Space and its urban areas is a critical component to creating livable and sustainable cities. The footprint of major metropolitan areas, suburbs, and small towns ultimately shapes the environmental and social conditions within our communities. One type of development pattern that has received increasing attention by researchers…

Considerable study has been done on methane oxidation to yield methanol, used in producing valuable substances like formaldehyde, dimethyl ether, and more.

A new iron complex has been developed as a catalyst for the oxidation of methane to selectively convert it to methanol. This complex can efficiently oxidize methane by internally trapping methane while preventing the overoxidation of the produced methanol. Using this complex, the direct and selective conversion of methane to methanol has been successfully achieved in an aqueous solution.

In the future, when you order a shot of whiskey, you might ask the bartender to hold an edible fluorescent silk tag that could be found floating inside – even though it is safe to consume.

An edible QR code could one day offer a way to spot fake whiskey and could even be a step toward dealing with counterfeit medications.

Recent developments such as the explosion of online pharmacies and supply chain issues have made it easier for counterfeiters to profit from fake or adulterated medications.

Counterfeit drugs are a growing problem in the US. New watermarks could make checking whether your medication is fake as easy as snapping a smartphone pic.

Counterfeit medications and pharmaceutical products are just a click away from being purchased from online pharmacies via smartphone. However, new
