How Plasma Reaction Conditions Affect the Optimal Catalyst: A Microkinetic Study of Plasma-catalytic CO2 Splitting

Plasma catalysis offers a sustainable route to convert CO₂ into valuable chemicals using renewable electricity. Researchers used VSC’s computational resources to model plasma–catalyst interactions and reaction kinetics on glass and transition metal surfaces. Their findings reveal how catalyst choice and reaction conditions influence CO₂ splitting efficiency and product formation, advancing understanding of plasma-driven CO₂ conversion.

Genomic diversity in felids correlates with range and density, not census size

Genetic diversity is vital for species survival, yet not all wild cats possess it equally. By analyzing genome data from 39 felid species, researchers revealed that cats with large ranges and high population density—like ocelots—harbour more genetic diversity than rare, low-density species like the Asiatic lion. This large-scale study was powered by the Flemish Supercomputer Centre (VSC).
