To my s
25、urprise, I was wrong. I lacked confidence in my research abilities which I thought stopped me performing well and I constantly felt my progress was too slow. Other students selfconfidence and their excellent results made me feel insecure. Finally, one day I broke down in tears in my adviser s office
26、.Then came my visit home: I was having trouble because I hadn t properly adjusted my expectations to the differences between an urban run and a trail run.A Ph.D. is like a trail run: Sometimes you can run fast. Sometimes you might find yourself climbing up a steep, winding trail at a snail s pace. A

Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to
33、possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and costeffective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst(催化剂)that is efficient in conducting electricity.CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with
34、 some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at e

Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode( 焊 条 ), which opens up a world of poss
36、ibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a byproduct, which could also have indu
