Their paper published in Nature Communications will add a new dimension to TEM and thus is highlighted by Die Presse, Der Standard and phys.org. 18 June 2019 Floating islands to convert sunlight into energy A recent paper published in PNAS and highlighted by CNN proposes creating islands to produce a liquid fuel (methanol) by recycling atmospheric CO2. 24 May 2019 On isothermality in some commonly used plug flow reactors for X-ray based investigations of catalysts Understand reactor design and characterize their behavior to avoid unwanted sources of error in determining structure function relationships in catalysis. 20 May 2019 Article published in Nature Catalysis - view on misconceptions and challenges in methane-to-methanol Manoj Ravi, PhD student in the van Bokhoven group, warned the community about all the misconceptions and pitfalls he encountered while studying the conversion of methane to methanol and made it into Nature Catalysis! 20 May 2019 ESRF Scientific Highlight 2018 Our work on active site structure in mordenite has been featured as one of the Scientific Highlights of 2018 by the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). 8 December 2018 BREAKTHROUGH Recent advances in electron crystallography rank 5th breakthrough of the year 2018 23 October 2018 Breakthrough - electron crystallography for everyone Recent advances in electron crystallography published in Angewandte Chemie and highlighted by Science, Chemical & Engineering News and ScienceNews!Under the lead of LSK member, "Rapid structure determination of microcrystalline molecular compounds using electron diffraction", published in Angewandte Chemie International Edition https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/anie.201811318 has attracted great attention in the chemistry community. 29 June 2018 Cleaner emissions thanks to sponge-like structure Media Releases Energy and Environment PSI researchers have developed a new catalytic converter for cleaning emissions from natural gas engines. It is very active even at low temperatures and remains that way over a long period of time. This allows natural gas to be burned in a cleaner, more climate-friendly way. Thus natural gas and biogas become more attractive as substitutes for petroleum products – for example, as fuel for cars. 14 May 2018 A new paper by Vitaly Sushkevich and Dennis Palagin is accepted to Angewandte Chemie A new paper by Vitaly Sushkevich and Dennis Palagin is accepted to Angewandte ChemieNew issue of Angewandte Chemie is featuring a paper entitled "Effect of Active Sites Structure on Activity of Copper Mordenite in Aerobic and Anaerobic Conversion of Methane to Methanol" by Vitaly and Dennis. 1 2 3 Next page ›› Last page Last » Sidebar More Scientific Highlights PSI Highlights
