Mixed‐Metal Promotion in a Manganese‐Molybdenum Oxynitride as Catalyst to Integrate C─C and C─N Coupling Reactions for the Direct Synthesis of Acetonitrile from Syngas and Ammonia

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Transition metal oxy/carbo‐nitrides show great promise as catalysts for sustainable processes. A Mn‐Mo mixed‐metal oxynitride attains remarkable performance for the direct synthesis of acetonitrile, an important commodity chemical, via sequential C─N and C─C coupling from syngas (C1) and ammonia (N1) feedstocks.

Metal‐free Hydrogen Generation from Seawater and Silicon Waste: A Circular Approach

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Hydrogen was rapidly generated directly from untreated seawater and polymeric Si waste without any transition metal catalyst. The in situ generated polymeric cross‐linked Si resin was completely depolymerized under mild conditions into chloro‐silane monomers.

UPPER TRIASSIC AMBER FROM THE DOLOMITES (NORTHERN ITALY).A PALEOCLIMATIC INDICATOR?

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 1998
Amber in Triassic deposits in the Dolomites is demonstrated for the first time. The amber-bearing deposits belong to the middle part of the Dürrenstein Formation, referred to uppermost Julian (Lower Carnian, about 225 My).

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

A new species and new generic synonymy in the family Vietnamellidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera) from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber with notes on ancient dispersal across East Gondwana [PDF]

PeerJ
The monophyletic mayfly family Vietnamellidae has been introduced for a few extant species from the Indomalayan Realm. All these species belong to the genus Vietnamella and have been described in adult and larval stages.

Electrochemically treated lignin in phenolic resins for plywood panels

Sustainable Chemistry for the Environment, 2023
In achieving the European Union's goal of making Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, the scientific community is striving to develop processes and products that are technologically and economically sustainable to replace/substitute fossil-

Droplet Electricity Generators With Maximized Energy Collection Zone Enabled by Aloe‐Inspired Midrib and Cuticle

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An Aloe‐pinspired droplet electricity generator (A‐DEG) overcomes the limited energy collection zone of conventional DEGs by guiding impact droplets through a channeling midrib and artificial cuticle. The channeling midrib induces uni‐directional droplet spreading, while the artificial cuticle on the midrib further reinforces this behavior through its ...

Extending the fossil record of Miocene neotropical epiphyte communities [PDF]

Fossil Record
Dominican amber (15–20 Ma) and Mexican amber (15–23 Ma) are valuable sources of fossil epiphytic bryophytes, ferns, and lichens. Both ambers derive from resins of Hymenaea, a genus in the Fabaceae family still occurring in Mexico, Central America, and ...

Conceptual Frameworks for Geographic-Botanical Affinities of Fossil Resins

, 1974
Solid-state analytical techniques have been applied to natural resins to establish paleo-geographic-botanical frameworks. Infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and differential thermal analysis were the techniques utilized. Fossilized resins (ambers)

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
