There are two main disciplines in catalysis research -- homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This is due to the fact that the catalyst is either in the same phase (homogeneous catalysis) as the reaction being catalyzed or in a different phase (heterogeneous catalysis). Over …
A pioneering treatise presenting how the new mathematical techniques of holographic duality unify seemingly unrelated fields of physics. This innovative development morphs quantum field theory, general relativity and the renormalisation group into a single computational framewor…
The development of biomedical research and fast point-of-care diagnostics require large-scale sensing equipment and smart portable healthcare devices. Therefore, integrating chemical sensors into solid state platforms becomes the most popular solution in modern chemical sensing …
