Climacteric physiology accelerates postharvest spoilage through sustained respiration, progressive cellular breakdown, and oxidation-mediated losses in fruity esters with concurrent lipid-derived ...

Controlling how materials transition between liquid and solid states is fundamental to materials science, but the atomic-scale mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially in confined spaces where ...

A predetermined workflow was established for the use of CB-SPME (Restek, Bellefonte, PA) as both the sample collection and metabolite extraction method (Figure 1). Briefly, CB-SPME with ...

Displacive solid–solid phase transitions, which occur through coordinated particle movements, are a challenging subject of study—both difficult to observe experimentally and difficult to simulate ...

Pounding on the bottom of a glass bottle of ketchup is one of life's small annoyances. Getting that sweet, red concoction from its solid phase to a liquid takes too long when you're hungry and could ...

Two-dimensional strongly interacting electrons crystalize into a solid phase known as the Wigner crystal at low densities and form a Fermi liquid at high densities. At intermediate densities, the ...

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) encompasses a suite of methods for isolating and concentrating analytes from complex matrices by partitioning target compounds onto a solid sorbent followed by solvent ...

Ionic liquids have emerged as versatile solvents in microextraction, combining negligible vapour pressure, thermal stability and tunable polarity with green chemistry credentials. Their unique ...

A new study by researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) demonstrates that scrap aluminum from industrial waste can be directly transformed into ...

Metal scrap can now be transformed into high-performance, high-value alloys without traditional melting processes, according to researchers at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National ...

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is the gold standard for sample preparation in chromatographic analysis. It is used to capture, clean, and concentrate samples while removing interfering compounds, ...
