Efficient adsorption-based gas separation requires maximizing both the adsorbent’s selectivity for the gas of interest and its recyclability

Normally, electrons moving in a conductor are reflected by potential energy barriers. However, electrons moving in graphene travel at relativistic

Representing land surface spatial heterogeneity is a scientific challenge that is critical for designing observation schemes to reliably estimate

A molecular-level understanding of the resistance of cellulose to degradation is a key step toward overcoming the fundamental barrier to making

Gut microbes play a major role in helping ruminants such as cows, goats, and sheep break down lignocellulose-rich plant matter in their diet.

Existing techniques for understanding radionuclide transport in the environment do not fully capture the 3-D complexity of transport in soil and

The electronic and optical properties of materials are directly related to their atomic crystal structure. By bringing atoms closer to each other

Classical computers are number crunching machines, performing basic arithmetical operations on numbers. In computer language, these numbers are

Upon exposure to sunlight, electrons in a semiconducting material are excited from their normal to higher energy states, forming photo-excited

While there is evidence that hurricane intensity has been increasing in the Atlantic Basin over the past 30 years, the research shows that the long
