Most articles dealing with R2TSi3 compounds are only interested in one specific composite or in a series of composites with varying T elements while keeping R fixed (or vice versa). The present work gives an overview of the complete range of 2:1:3 silicides, similar those of Hoffmann & Pöttgen (2001) and Pan et al. (2013). In contrast to the work of Hoffmann & Pöttgen (2001), reasons for formation of the different symmetries and superstructures are discussed. Here, crystallographic properties are in[the] focus, whereas physical and magnetic properties are omitted because those are given by Pan et al. (2013).

The nitrogen dioxides (NOX) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of some light-duty petrol and diesel vehicles are higher during on-road driving than during standard laboratory tests, according to a new study. This means that in normal on-road driving, light-duty vehicles, which include passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, may exceed European emissions limits and could be having a greater impact on urban air quality than previously thought.

Man-made pollutants may be responsible for the expansion of the tropics in the northern hemisphere, according to recent research. Black carbon aerosols and tropospheric ozone, formed from human activities, are heating the atmosphere and shifting major atmospheric circulation patterns further north, which could create drier conditions in the subtropics.
