In a new study, Professor Hui Wei and coworkers have introduced a predictive descriptor—t 2 occupancy—to guide the design of spinel oxide-based nanozymes with enhanced peroxidase-like (POD) activity.

Finding lubricants that work at exceptionally high temperatures challenges researchers and industries alike. A Virginia Tech team may have uncovered a promising candidate by happenstance: transition ...

There is a correlation between bulk mechanical properties of polycrystalline materials and the strength of individual grain boundaries at the micro- or nano-scale. The strength of the grain boundary ...

Co spinel——saturable absorbers for the passive Q-switching of solid-state lasers operating at eye-safe wavelength of 1.5 μm Cobalt-doped magnesium aluminate spinel (Co:MgAl2O4) allow the generation of ...

Imagine a glass window that’s tough like armor, a camera lens that doesn’t get scratched in a sand storm, or a smart phone that doesn’t break when dropped. Except it’s not glass, it’s a special ...

A team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered the parameters that determine the efficiency of a class of low-cost catalysts called spinel ...
