Hydrogenation of CO to methanol is foreseen as a key step to close the carbon cycle. In this study, we show that introducing Ga into silica-supported nanoparticles based on group 8-9 transition noble metals (M = Ru, Os, Rh, and Ir - Ga@SiO) switches their reactivity from producing mostly methane (sel. > 97%) to producing methanol (>50% CHOH/DME sel.

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a powerful technique used to investigate the conformational preferences of biosystems, and molecular simulations have emerged as an ideal complement to FRET due to their ability to provide structural models that can be compared with experiments. This synergy is however hampered by the approximations underlying Förster theory regarding the electronic coupling between the participating dyes: a dipole-dipole term attenuated by a simple dielectric screening factor 1/ that depends on the refractive index of the medium. Whereas the limits of the dipole approximation are well-known, detailed insights on how environment effects deviate from the 1/ assumption and modify the distance dependence that characterizes FRET as a spectroscopic ruler are still not well understood, especially in biosystems characterized by significant structural disorder.

Complementing discourse following a February 2023 event on dietary protein needs in Southeast Asia (SEA), this symposium report summarizes the region's protein intake, while simultaneously examining the impact of dietary shift toward complementary and alternative proteins and their health implications. It highlights the importance of protein quality in dietary evaluations, optimal intake, and sustainability, advocating for environmentally conscious protein production and innovation in future foods. Discussion points, expert opinions, national nutrition data, and relevant literature, addressing protein intake and quality, their impact on human health, and various technologies for future foods production, have been included.

Background: Intravascular imaging (IVI) complements coronary angiography and may help prevent coronary artery perforation (CAP) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Objectives: The authors evaluated whether IVI-guided PCI is associated with a lower risk of PCI-related CAP in a real-world cohort.
Methods: This observational study analyzed consecutive PCI procedures from January 2006 to October 2023.
