Summary: In this study, we investigate the arrangement of fibers, water, and air in pore space by injecting water through gas diffusion layers with different percentages of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating. By utilizing high-resolution three-dimensional X-ray imaging, we analyze the contact angle and meniscus curvature once water reaches equilibrium. The results show that the amount of coating affects the average contact angle and water pressure at breakthrough, with a wide range of contact angles indicating a mixed-wet state. The presence of minimal surfaces suggests that the fluid phases are well connected, allowing for the simultaneous flow of two phases over a wide saturation range. These findings have implications for the design of porous materials.

Summary: The article discusses the development of an EUV microscope for 3D imaging of bio-samples. By using a mirror lens with a large numerical aperture and a short depth of focus, z-tomography was performed for the first time with this type of microscope. A new algorithm was proposed for the 3D reconstruction of absorption images, taking into account lens aberrations and a point spread function. The algorithm reduced the inverse absorption task to a well-studied task of fluorescence microscopy, with an error of 10% for cells up to 10 μm thick.

Summary: This study compared the clinical image quality and perceived impact on diagnostic interpretation of chest CT findings between ultra-high-resolution photon-counting CT (UHR-PCCT) and conventional high-resolution energy-integrating-detector CT (HR-EIDCT). The results showed that UHR-PCCT had better visibility than HR-EIDCT for multiple lung structures. However, there was no significant difference in diagnostic interpretation between the two techniques.

Summary: The acoustic characteristics of hydrates play a crucial role in geophysical exploration and resource estimation. Microscale distribution of hydrates significantly affects the acoustic response of reservoirs. This study developed an experimental system to visualize and test methane hydrate-bearing sediments simultaneously. The results showed that hydrates primarily formed at the gas-water interface in early stages, mainly in the pore fluid in middle stages, and eventually contacted with sediments. This experimental device successfully determined the quantitative relationship between microscale hydrate distribution and acoustic properties of the reservoir.

Summary: Pore-scale modeling is a powerful method for evaluating the transport properties of porous electrodes. This study validates the effectiveness of this method by comparing experimental data with modeling results. The results show that as the compression ratio increases, fiber displacement increases and fibers squeeze into nearby pores, leading to a decrease in diffusivity and permeability. Compared to empirical models, pore-scale models show better agreement with experimental data.

Summary: This study used in situ high-resolution X-ray computed tomography measurements to explore the mechanisms of hydrate growth in the presence of surfactants. It was found that the presence of hydrate crystals triggered enhanced growth on the reactor wall. A time delay was observed before the bulk water reservoir transformed into hydrate. The lower interfacial tension between the hydrate surface and the solution facilitated its adsorption onto the reactor wall. These fundamental results are valuable for understanding the mechanism of hydrate growth in the presence of surfactants and its potential applications.

Investigating fibre orientation, defects and voids in these components is important for quality control. X-ray computed tomography is a non-destructive imaging method used on different kind of sheet moulded compound to identify such issues, but it is still a challenge on carbon fibre sheet moulding compound due to the similarities in density of the carbon fibres and polymer matrix.

Summary: Sluggish formation kinetics is a challenge for the practical application of gas hydrate-based technologies. Carbon monoliths with controlled surface functional groups enhance the nucleating ability of methane hydrates. Carbonyl oxygen is identified as the most effective functional group in reducing induction time and enhancing formation kinetics. The turned hydrogen bonds near the CBCM surface contribute to the enhanced formation kinetics. Optimized carbonyl oxygen in CBCM significantly improves methane hydrate formation kinetics and storage capacity with outstanding cycle stability.

Summary: Recent field tests in Japan and China have attracted worldwide attention to marine gas hydrate reservoirs. To improve economic efficiency, a new scheme is proposed to jointly produce gases from the hydrate layer and its underlying shallow gas layer. The use of dual horizontal wells can significantly increase cumulative gas yield compared to a single vertical well scenario. However, there is a potential risk of interlayer failure due to pressure differences, which can be mitigated by controlling the depressurization scheme in different layers. An analysis shows promising positive energy harvest and suggests its potential application in field tests in the South China Sea without disturbing reservoir stability.

Summary: Field tests have been conducted worldwide to recover natural gas from marine gas hydrate reservoirs. This study prepared reservoirs with a heterogeneous distribution of gas hydrates and investigated the effects of well location and depressurization schemes on gas production performance. The results showed that the production efficiency in the heterogeneous reservoirs was significantly weakened compared to the homogeneous case. Well placement in a high permeability layer improved gas production efficiency, but resulted in uneven temperature distribution. Cycling and step-wise depressurization raised the minimum reservoir temperature, and external heat supply was suggested for efficient gas production in hydrate-abundant regions.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
