The development of new materials for the consolidation of waterlogged archaeological wood from sustainable sources is an important area of research, as the most widely used consolidant today is petroleum based. Ideally a ...

Interference with bacterial quorum sensing communication provides an anti-virulence strategy to control pathogenic bacteria. Here, using the Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) O103:H2, we showed for the first time that ...

A method for calculating stored magnetic energy in a thin superconducting film based on quantitative magneto-optical imaging is developed. Energy and magnetic moment are determined with these calculations for full hysteresis ...

Transition metal containing polyanion compounds are effective excellent electrode materials for sodium-ion batteries due to their high intrinsic electrochemical potentials and to the resulting high energy density. Iron ...

0metal-alkyl complexes (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf) show specific activity and selectivity in olefin polymerization and oligomerization depending on their ligand set and charge. Here, we show by a combined experimental and ...

Background: Reproductive behaviors (such as age of childbearing, parity, and breastfeeding prevalence) have changed over the same historical time period as PCB emissions and may produce intergenerational differences in ...

External non-uniform magnetic fields acting on molecules induce non-collinear spin densities and spin-symmetry breaking. This necessitates a general two-component Pauli spinor representation. In this paper, we report the ...

The deactivation of zeolite catalyst H-ZSM-5 by coking during the conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons was monitored by high-energy space- and time-resolved operando X-ray diffraction (XRD) . Space resolution was achieved ...

Two series of Zn-ZSM-5 catalysts were prepared by ion exchanging two commercial zeolites with different Si/Al ratios (40 and 15) with increasing Zn loadings. The nature of the Zn sites in the zeolite was studied by ...
