The atmospheres and surfaces of planets show a tremendous amount of spatial variation, which has a direct effect on the spectrum of the object, even if this may not be spatially resolved. Here, we apply hyperrealistic ...

We have employed the ab initio nanoreactor (AINR) and DFT calculations to explore how the soft impact of comets entering early earth's dense atmosphere could induce chemical reactions in trapped interstellar ice components, ...

Chiral recognition and separation studies are of paramount importance in research in view of their applications in asymmetric catalysis and substrate recognition in biological processes. The efficiencies of these processes ...

Palm fatty acid distillates can be used to produce fatty alcohol sulphates. The sodium hexadecyl sulphate (SHS) of the C16 fatty acid thus formed has a high Krafft point which limits its use in applications. Here we propose ...

Herein, a self-supported carbon network is designed through the sole pyrolysis of Carica papaya seeds (biomass) without any activation agent, demonstrating their field emission and supercapacitor applications. The pyrolysis ...

The majority of the primary energy in any process is wasted as low-grade heat (< 373 K). Thermoelectric power generators are ideally suited for conversion of such low-grade waste heat into electricity. So far Bi2Te3-based ...

Here we study YbI3, a quasi-two-dimensional layered material with Yb atoms arranged on an ideal honeycomb network of edge-sharing YbI6 octahedra, analogous to the low-temperature phase of 𝛼−RuCl3. High-quality single ...

This chapter offers a concise classical and phenomenological overview of magnetism and its applications. It is specifically aimed at students who are starting to learn about magnetism and require an introductory text that ...
