This review presents the state-of-the-art of adsorption characterization of mesoporous and
microporous materials by using the density functional theory (DFT) methods. The DFT …

When Szent-Györgyi called water the “matrix of life”, 1 he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus in the 16th century said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

Phase behavior is important in the calculation of hydrocarbons in place and in the flow of
phases through the rocks. Pore sizes can be on the order of nanometers for shale and tight …

The classification of adsorption hysteresis loops recommended by the IUPAC in 1984 was
based on experimental observations and the application of classical principles of pore filling …

A new analysis method has been developed for the determination of the pore size
distribution of porous carbons from nitrogen adsorption measurements. The method is …

The key to understanding capillary condensation phenomena and employing that
knowledge in a wide range of engineering applications lies in the synergy of theoretical and …

In this tutorial review, we discuss the use of classical density functional theory (DFT) to
understand adsorption/desorption hysteresis phenomena for fluids confined in mesoporous …

Conventional models of liquid distribution, flow, and solute transport in partially saturated
porous media are limited by the representation of media pore space as a bundle of …

In conventional permeable media, once pore volume (PV) is known, the amount of fluid-in-
place can be estimated. This is because the fluid is locally homogeneous, pores are …

We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a
magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the 7 Li condensate is quasipure …
