TL;DR: The state of the art with respect to the preparation and use of supported metal nanoparticles in catalysis is described, the main groups of such nanoparticles (noble and transitionMetal nanoparticles) are highlighted and future prospects are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a brief overview of the complex biofuel issue, providing the latest update of the production and potential of biofuels in the transport sector including types of biofuel, feedstocks and technologies and some of the possible socioeconomic, environmental and political implications of the widespread use of bio fuels in our society.

TL;DR: Human galectin-1 is a potent multifunctional effector that participates in specific protein-carbohydrate and protein-protein (lipid) interactions and its X-ray structure is determined, which provides the basis to define the structure of its ligand-binding pocket and to perform rational drug design.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary perspective on key issues for the successful implementation of biodiesel as a petrol fuel replacement including green chemistry methods to improve production and quality, the use of energy crops and feedstocks for second-generation biodiesel, socioeconomic studies and the importance of governmental regulatory issues.

TL;DR: In this article, powder X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared, 29Si MAS NMR, N2 adsorption, and transmission electron microscopy were used to examine the role of the concentration of silica, the surfactant, and the reaction time in the synthesis of high quality silica mesoporous molecular sieve MCM-48.
