Hollow-structured reinforced metal catalysts such as nanoreactor catalysts with encapsulated active sites and well-defined shells offer an ideal place for multicomponent to respond or alter cooperatively, and it is been distinguished as one of the famous catalyst candidates.

Energy exploration relies on knowing the thermal history of oil and gas source rocks, which is often difficult to determine.

Scientists have taken the quest to measure ancient ocean temperatures more accurately to the atomic level — findings critical in reconstructing past climates and the thermal history of sedimentary basins essential for oil and gas exploration.<br />

Most drugs on the market consist of cyclic (ring-shaped) molecules, many of which contain multiple rings. Developing simple and powerful methods for constructing important and novel ring systems r ...

Researchers in China have designed a 3D-crosslinked binder with ultralow-content (1 wt%) that not only endures the huge volume variation of silicon anodes under charge/discharge cycles but also enhance electrochemical performance. A paper on their work is published in Journal of Power Sources. High-content binders (10–50 wt%) are often noted...
