Oscillatory chemical reactions, a striking manifestation of non-equilibrium dynamics, exhibit periodic fluctuations in reactant and intermediate concentrations arising from intricate feedback ...

Self‐oscillating gels represent a groundbreaking class of smart materials that convert chemical energy directly into mechanical motion. Central to their function is the Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) ...

The video shows the surface of a material that was originally graphite, and how its appearance changes in waves. Above the footage, changes in voltage are displayed. When the voltage is high, many ...

An innovative temperature-compensation mechanism for oscillating chemical reactions based on temperature-responsive gels has been developed. Experimental findings, alongside a detailed mathematical ...

A fundamental discovery about the Fischer Tropsch process, a catalytic reaction used in industry to convert coal, natural gas or biomass to liquid fuels, could someday allow for more efficient fuel ...

Remarkably, compartmentalization may be found in non-living systems as well as living organisms. For instance, oscillatory reactions in microemulsions, particle arrays, and gels are instances of ...
