How and where did life on Earth originate? To date, various environments have been
proposed as plausible sites for the origin of life. However, discussions have focused on a …

The importance of hydrothermal technology in the preparation of nanomaterials has been
discussed in detail with reference to the processing of advanced materials for …

Saturn's moon Enceladus has an ice-covered ocean; a plume of material erupts from cracks
in the ice. The plume contains chemical signatures of water-rock interaction between the …

In the context of Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS), the stored gas is in direct contact
with brine (residual brine from the cavern or formation water of deep aquifers). Therefore …

Soil microorganisms globally are thought to be sustained primarily by organic carbon
sources. Certain bacteria also consume inorganic energy sources such as trace gases, but …

5-(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) and levulinic acid production from glucose in a cascade of
reactions using a Lewis acid (CrCl3) catalyst together with a Brønsted acid (HCl) catalyst in …

The development of highly accurate and computationally efficient modeling software based
on Gibbs energy minimization (GEM) makes it possible to thermodynamically simulate …

Abiotic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids are known to be formed on Earth, notably during
the hydrothermal alteration of mantle rocks. Although the abiotic formation of amino acids …

Recent advances in theoretical geochemistry permit calculation of the standard molal
thermodynamic properties of a wide variety of minerals, gases, aqueous species, and …

The most common fallacy in the quest for the optimum stimulation treatment in shale plays
across the country is to treat them all just like the Barnett Shale. There is no doubt that the …
