Researchers developed a new hybrid catalyst that achieved chemo-selective and site-selective hydrogenation of aromatic molecules under low pressure of dihydrogen and mild temperature.
A recent study pinpointed the reaction front where lithium (Li) dendrites can come into contact with cathode materials. It also detailed the Li propagation pathway and reaction steps that lead to cathode failure.
Understanding the functional traits of Arctic and alpine tundra plant communities will enable better model projections of how they transform in warmer conditions.
Water management activities could reduce both the duration and intensity of agricultural droughts by a factor of about ten in most regions, while they may increase those of hydrological droughts by up to 50 percent.
Improving water conservation in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model's atmosphere component has important implications for projecting sea level change.
