Conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a wide range of applications in supercapacitors, electrocatalysts, and fuel cells, while gas-driven conductive MOFs have not yet been synthesized so far. Herein, we report a gas-driven conductive MOF () constructed from calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle and Co(II) cations, which shows the conductivity enhancement by about eight orders of magnitude through NO adsorption. The conductivities of MOF before and after the adsorption of NO were calculated to be about 1.3 × 10 and 8.4 × 10 S/cm, respectively. MOF realizes the conversion from an insulator to a conductor by adsorbing NO. When NO is evacuated, MOF quickly changes from a conductor back to an insulator in 42 s. In the crystal structure of NO-adsorbed MOF (termed as ), NO molecule connects Co(II) and uncoordinated carboxylate groups through hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a conductive pathway, greatly reducing the electron transmission distance between each two metal clusters. In addition, NO molecule and HO may also form a conductive pathway by hydrogen-bonding interactions. This work presents an interesting macrocycle-based MOF with a NO-driven on/off conductivity switch, proving the possibility for designing advanced gas-driven conductive systems.

A measurement study was conducted in 2023 to derive operator-specific emission factors for natural gas driven pneumatic devices at onshore production facilities in the United States. A total of 369 intermittent bleed and 26 continuous low-bleed pneumatic devices were measured using a high-volume sampler. Considering all intermittent bleed devices, the emission factor from this study was statistically lower than the factor in the revised Greenhouse Gas Reporting Rule (GHGRP) issued May 6, 2024.

Pneumatic control mechanisms have long been integral to microfluidic systems, primarily using solenoid valves, pressurized gases, and vacuums to direct liquid flow. Despite advancements in liquid-driven self-regulated microfluidic circuits, gas-driven systems leveraging fluid compressibility remain underexplored. This study presents a mathematical and experimental investigation of gas-driven microfluidic circuits, focusing on forced-air oscillators.

Lava domes exhibit highly unpredictable and hazardous behavior, which is why imaging their morphological evolution to decipher the underlying governing mechanisms remains a major challenge. Using high-resolution satellite radar imagery enhanced with deep-learning, we image the repetitive dome construction-subsidence cycles at Popocatépetl volcano (Mexico) with very high temporal and spatial resolution. We show that these cycles resemble gas-driven rise and fall of the upper magma column, where buoyant bubble-rich magma is extruded from the conduit (in ~hours-days), and successively drained back (in ~days-months) as magma degasses and crystallizes.

The impact-induced fragmentation of rock is widely and frequently encountered when natural hazards occur in mountainous areas. This type of fragmentation is an important and complex natural process that should be described. In this study, laboratory impact tests under different impact velocities were first conducted using a novel gas-driven rock impact apparatus.
