Enhancing oil recovery of ultimate water-cut reservoirs with a novel methane-producing bacterial strain

open access: yesShiyou shiyan dizhi
Most of the old oil fields in eastern China are now in the ultra-high water-cut development stage characte-rized by a rapid increase in water-cut, low oil recovery rate and inefficient water flooding.

Improvement of residual oil recovery from oil palm biomass using high pressure water steam system for biodiesel production

open access: yes, 2023
Various applications of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) would be hindered by the presence of residual oil. This study aimed to remove and recover the residual oil from OPEFB using an integrated system, high pressure water spray system (HPWSS).

Mechanically Programmable DNA Hydrogel Microparticles for 3D Cellular Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
DNA hydrogel microparticles are designed to exhibit controllable viscoelasticity and stiffness across three orders of magnitude from 30Pa$30 \,\mathrm{Pa}$ to 6.5kPa$6.5 \,\mathrm{kPa}$. They are uptaken into fibroblast spheroids where they are actively remodeled by cellular forces depending on their mechanical properties.
