ESA microgravity experiments revealed gravity’s effects on soft matter flow
What the study found The review finds that European Space Agency (ESA) microgravity experiments have produced high-precision measurements across several soft-matter systems. These studies showed, among other results, interfacial viscoelasticity, plastic rearrangements in colloidal glasses, roaming bubbles in foams, progressive arrest of droplet motion in emulsions, margination effects in blood cell analogues, and the impact…

Techno-economic assessment of CO2-based sustainable aviation fuel pathways across Europe, USA and Middle East, comparing Fischer-Tropsch, methanol-to-jet and ethanol-to-jet routes.
Crystal phase changes catalyst performance for NOx and VOC removal
Phase-dependent V2O5/TiO2 catalysts achieve >90% simultaneous NOx and VOC removal using tandem reactor configuration with anatase and rutile phases optimized for distinct pollutant substrates.
AB-8 resin selectively purified jujube pulp polyphenols
Polyphenol purification from Ziziphus jujuba pulp using AB-8 macroporous resin: kinetic characterization, structural analysis, and identification of eight key constituents via HPLC-MS.
Surface vanadium vacancies drive charge recombination in BiVO4
Hydrothermal defect compensation strategy for BiVO4 photoanodes reveals surface vanadium vacancies as primary recombination centers, achieving 5.82 mA cm-2 photocurrent through V5+ incorporation.
