Approach to mapping the catalyzed generation and evolution of hydrocarbons. Schematic of the multi-technique strategy used in this study to unravel the growth of the carbon chain, from the formation of the first C–C bond to the generation of coke in MTH and MCTH over H-ZSM-5. The comparative study of these two C1 platform molecules enables the main pathways of oxygenate- and hydrocarbon-driven mechanisms to be decoupled and elucidated. Accordingly, operando PEPICO enables the isomer-selective identification of reaction intermediates and coke precursors. This is complemented with EPR measurements that provide insights into the representative molecular structure, density and distribution of…

“I would advise against anything really constricting,” says Fischbach. “You want to get the most comfortable you can be to avoid cramping, swelling, and anything that can affect you later.” Allowing for healthy blood circulation is especially important to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the legs. “It’s very important to be able to move around a bit in your seat—very difficult, I know—and keep your blood flowing,” Fischbach explains. “If you are tall, travel a lot, or are on a long flight, this is extremely important because you…
