Catalysts play an integral role in the modern manufacturing industry. They are used in numerous processes, such as plastic production, ammonia synthesis, petroleum refining and hydrogenation. It is therefore no surprise that catalyst development is a major area of focus for many chemists.

The quantum apocalypse is coming. Although this sounds like a bad nightmare, once quantum computers exist, our current communication channels will inevitably become obsolete and completely insecure. In other words, encrypted data will be easily hackable.

Why does my dog chase squirrels? Is my cat scared of the vacuum cleaner? You’ve likely looked at your pet and wondered what it was thinking. Scientists study animal behaviour and cognition in efforts to understand how animals process information and make decisions.
