Ordered porous materials with unique pore structures and pore sizes in the mesoporous range (2-50 nm) have many applications in catalysis, separation and drug delivery. Extensive research has resulted in mesoporous materials with one-dimensional, cage-like and bi-continuous pore structures. Three families of bi-continuous mesoporous materials have been made, with two interwoven but unconnected ...

The challenge of assimilation of the accumulating wealth of information necessitates the urge for having a comprehensive database. Such database can be used as an important tool in assisting scientists to decipher a host of biological phenomena ranging from the structure of biomolecules and their interaction to the whole metabolism of organisms and the evolution of species. This knowledge helps...
