Empirical discovery, four decades ago, of polyamide membranes made by interfacial
polymerization revolutionized large-scale desalination and has made desalinated water …

The origin of life is a fascinating, unresolved problem whose deciphering would have
important scientific, epistemological and social implications. Over time, philosophers and …

The emergence of Turing structures is of fundamental importance, and designing these
structures and develo** their applications have practical effects in chemistry and biology …

A comprehensive review of spatiotemporal pattern formation in systems driven away from
