Completing the third dimension: Breakthrough method for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) published in Nature Communications!
Julian, Tim and co-workers published a patented method that tricks electrons to access complete space in TEM (Nat. Commun. DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11326-2). They overcame the so called "missing wedge problem” that impedes the breakthrough of many TEM techniques since ever. The simplicity while high impact of their approach was acknowledged by der Standard, die Presse and Phys.org.
Publication “On isothermality in some commonly used plug flow reactors for X-ray based investigations of catalysts” selected as 2019 HOT Catalysis Science & Technology article
The work of Mark and co-workers to understand reactor design and characterize their behavior to avoid unwanted sources of error in determining structure function relationships in catalysis (Catal. Sci. Technol. DOI: 10.1039/C9CY00464E) was selected as 2019 HOT Catalysis Science & Technology article.
Floating islands to convert sunlight into energy
A recent paper published in PNAS (DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1902335116) and highlighted by CNN proposes creating islands to produce a liquid fuel (methanol) by recycling atmospheric CO2.
