Fossils: Digging Into the Past

, 2017
Fossils collected in Renaissance collection cabinets were items of wonder and curiosity. Although sometimes mistaken for other pieces of naturalia, they were widely collected by owners of princely cabinets and scholarly collections.Though naturalists and

Charles W. Peach, palaeobotany and Scotland [PDF]

, 2008
The move south from Wick to the city of Edinburgh in 1865, some four years after retirement from the Customs service, provided Charles W. Peach with new opportunities for fossil-collecting and scientific networking.

Electrolyte‐Induced Interfacial/Bulk Dual Regulation Enables Negligible Capacity Decay in Li‐Rich Cathodes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work report a n electrolyte‑induced interfacial/bulk dual regulation strategy that enables negligible capacity decay in li‑rich cathodes. ABSTRACT Lithium‐rich manganese‐based oxides (LRMO) suffer from rapid capacity decay, mainly driven by interfacial instability and bulk structural degradation associated with Jahn‐Teller (J‐T) distortion in Mn3+‐

Cretaceous dinosaur bone contains recent organic material and provides an environment conducive to microbial communities

eLife, 2019
Fossils were thought to lack original organic molecules, but chemical analyses show that some can survive. Dinosaur bone has been proposed to preserve collagen, osteocytes, and blood vessels.

Advanced Separators for Liquid and Quasi‐Solid Lithium Rechargeable Batteries: Design and Development

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of lithium‐ion battery separators from passive barriers to multifunctional components central to cell safety and performance. Polymer‐ceramic hybrids, nanofiber architectures, and bio‐derived membranes deliver ionic conductivities above 3 mS cm−1, thermal stability beyond 200 °C, and effective suppression of lithium ...

Promotion of Paleontological Heritage: Case Histories from Southern Italy

Heritage
The preservation of paleontological heritage is relevant for paleobiological and geological research, as well as for scientific dissemination. Fossils are indicative of the evolutionary processes, biodiversity, ecology, and geography of the past and ...

Relationship of Dye Adsorption Onto Biomass Activated Carbon Mixed Matrix Ultrafiltration: A Mass Transfer Model Study

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explored dye molecule adsorption from water, focusing on activated carbon in polymer membranes for purifying low‐quality water. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes showed enhanced removal efficiency of methylene blue (MB) from 89.29% to 98.33% with biomass‐activated carbon (BAC).

Trace fossils of microbial colonization on Mars: Criteria for search and for sample return [PDF]

The recent discovery of microbial trace-fossil formation in the frigid Ross Desert of Antarctica suggests that early primitive life on Mars may have left behind similar signatures. These trace fossils are apparent as chemical or physical changes in rock (
