The e-MANTIS emulator: Fast and accurate predictions of the halo mass function in f(R)CDM and wCDM cosmologies [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics
In this work, we present a novel emulator of the halo mass function (HMF), which we implemented in the framework of the e-MANTIS emulator of $f(R)$ gravity models.

Ionic Precursors Transformed Into Vinyl Acetate Synthesis Catalyst via Reaction‐Driven Restructuring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that a simple physical mixture of Pd and Au ionic precursors, KOAc promoter, and SiO2 support can transform into a highly active vinyl acetate synthesis catalyst through reaction‐driven restructuring. The results highlight reaction‐induced restructuring as an innovative and sustainable catalyst design strategy.
