Article Synopsis
  • Electrochemical CO reduction reaction (CORR) is a pivotal method for closing the carbon cycle and minimizing fossil fuel dependency, but traditional methods face high operational costs due to energy-intensive processes.* -
  • A new bismuth-poly(ionic liquid) (Bi-PIL) hybrid catalyst shows outstanding efficiency in converting CO to formate with over 90% Faradaic efficiency, even at low CO concentrations found in industrial emissions.* -
  • The Bi-PIL catalyst not only enhances CO concentration and reaction speed but also makes the production of pure formic acid solutions more economical compared to traditional methods, potentially transforming CO utilization in valuable liquid fuel production.*

Genetic mutations can cause life-threatening diseases such as cancers and sickle cell anemia. Gene detection is thus of importance for disease-risk prediction or early diagnosis and treatment. Apart from genetic defects, gene detection techniques can also be applied to gene-related diseases with high risk to human health such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

There are mainly two types of needs for the ventilator users with severe neurological diseases: respiratory related needs include mode of ventilation selection, mode of ventilator prescription, maintaining lung recruitment and good airway clearance; non-respiratory related needs include substantial nursing care, adequate nutrition, accessible communication and psychological support. All these are important to maintain the quality of life of these patients.
