We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.

Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

Our #cover in @ChemCatChem. Another amazing artwork of José Valecillos. The cover picture shows how the features of the #catalyst can be used together with its #performance to make a robust #microkinetic model.

[Pedro Castano @drGuara]

The #paper discusses how these microkinetic #models can be used to understand the catalytic activity and guide new catalyst #developments.
