Superconductivity is one of the most explicit and dramatic forms of electronic order. We are baffled by its consequences, for example the complete breakdown of electrical resistance, the expulsion of small magnetic fields, the Josephson effect and magnetic levitation. But at a more conceptual level, the processes underlying these phenomena are equally captivating: why does a superconductor superconduct?

The selective manipulation of one functional group in the presence of other(s) using nontoxic chemicals in economically viable and environmentally benign conditions is a formidable task for synthetic organic chemists. There is a growing interest in carrying out synthetic transformations in aqueous media.

Food supply is one of the ecological factors that influence life-history traits, population sizes and community structure in birds. Indeed, understanding both the ecological continuity of animal species and their ecological niches is greatly dependent on food restriction and its variations in quality and quantity.

Nitrogen oxides play a major role in air pollution, particularly in the creation of acid rain and photochemical smog. Among the methods that can be used to capture or eliminate these pollutants are adsorption on the surfaces of metal oxide semiconductors (MOSs) and followed by conversion into other materials.

Iron is an essential micronutrient for microbial life. At the start of an infection the host environment will normally restrict available iron, and innate immune responses will aim to further reduce iron, thus inhibiting growth of potential pathogens.
