Chemists have been searching for efficient catalysts to convert methane -- a major component of abundant natural gas -- into methanol, an easily transported liquid fuel and building block for making other valuable chemicals.
Propylene oxide is a valuable intermediate product in chemical industry. Current industrial production of PO is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly.
Scientists at St Petersburg University, Sirius University of Science and Technology, and St Petersburg Academic University have synthesised the smallest nano-sized metal-organic frameworks to detect heavy metal ions in water.
Because of their high strength and light weight, carbon-fiber-based composite materials are gradually replacing metals for advancing all kinds of products and applications, from airplanes to wind turbines to golf clubs.
The dramatic loss of biodiversity has concerned the public and heightened social demand for chemicals pesticide-free plant agriculture, which is now seen as a major priority by governments throughout the world. RNAi-based techniques are fast advancing as a possible alternative to traditional chemical pesticides in light of this worldwide dilemma.

Heat shields have long been used by spacecraft for protection while entering into planetary atmospheres. Missions to the outer solar system in the future will necessitate more advanced materials than currently available. The extreme heating conditions required to examine new shield materials are, however, very problematic to realize experimentally on Earth.
To continue to provide our customers with cutting-edge products and services, in November Bettersize launched a brand new tapped density tester series: the BeDensi T Pro Series.
