Abstract We report a novel strategy to prepare supported Pd catalysts for low‐temperature methane combustion. The structure–property relationship of the catalysts was investigated by tuning the shape and crystal planes of supporting Co 3 O 4 nanocrystals. Pd/Co 3 O 4 nanosheets are more reactive than Pd/Co 3 O 4 nanob…

The self-assembly of molecules into desired architectures is currently a challenging subject for the development of supramolecular chemistry. Here we present a facile "breath figure" assembly process through the use of the self-assembled peptide building block diphenylalanine (L-Phe-L-Phe, FF). Macroporous honeycomb s…

In this study, we investigate the growth and internal properties of polyelectrolyte multilayer films made of poly(l-lysine) and hyaluronan (PLL/HA) under pH-amplified conditions, that is, by alternate deposition of PLL at high pH and HA at low pH. We focus especially on the influence of the molecular weight of HA in t…

Au x Pd1−x (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1) nanoparticle (NP) catalysts (8–11 nm) were synthesized by a one-pot reaction strategy using colloidal chemistry. XPS depth profiles with variable X-ray energies and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analyses show that the as-synthesized Au x Pd1−x (x = 0.25 and 0.5…

Summary Effects of glucose syrup (2%, 4%, and 6%) and pectin (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) concentrations on physicochemical characteristics and sensory acceptability of machine‐formed pineapple leather snack were investigated. Changes in glucose syrup and pectin concentrations significantly affected velocity of forming and…

Here we explicitly present the diffusion coefficients ($D$) and activation energies (${E}_{a}$) of interstitial H in $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-Fe over a temperature range of 100 to 1000 K. These values were predicted by applying path-integral molecular dynamics modeling based on first principles. The obtained $D$ and ${E}…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Imperforate tracheary elements (ITEs) in wood of vessel-bearing angiosperms may or may not transport water. Despite the significance of hydraulic transport for defining ITE types, the combination of cell structure with water transport visualization in planta has received little attention. This stu…

The simple, template-free, low-temperature, large-scale synthesis of nanostructured CdS with the hexagonal wurtzite phase from bulk cadmium oxide under solid-phase conditions is demonstrated for the first time. The novel approach involves the homogenization of cadmium oxide (CdO) and thiourea in various stoichiometric…

We report on tuning the light absorption properties of Cu 1.97 S nanocrystals upon organization in ordered supercrystal structures. In particular, we show that the weak absorption profile of Cu 1.97 S nanocrystals can be tuned toward the red part of the visible spectrum. We demonstrate that the controlled addition of…

Transport measurements on few-layer graphene (FLG) are important because they interpolate between the properties of single-layer graphene (SLG) as a true two-dimensional material and the three-dimensional bulk properties of graphite. In this article we present four-probe local charge transport and nonlocal spin-valve…

Two series of borosilicate glasses were prepared for studying the influence of the substitution of (i) CaO for Na 2 O and (ii) ZrO 2 for SiO 2 on glass durability. They were corroded in buffered aqueous solution at pH 6.9 and pH 8.0. An inverse correlation was found between the initial dissolution rate and the final d…

We introduce a metamaterial design composed of square plasmonic loops loaded by Kerr nonlinearities that combines enhanced nonlinear response with strong artificial magnetism, ensuring a negative refractive index with bistable and self-tunable response. We verify with full-wave simulations that positive-to-negative sw…

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were introduced in the interlaminar region of woven carbon fiber—epoxy composites and the mode-I delamination behavior was investigated. Pristine (P-SWCNT) and functionalized (F-SWCNT) nanotubes were sprayed in the mid-plane of these laminates and delamination was initiated using…

We show that the electronic part of the linear magnetoelectric response, usually omitted in first-principles studies, can be comparable in magnitude to that mediated by polar lattice distortions, even in strong magnetoelectrics. Using a self-consistent response to a Zeeman field for noncollinear spins, we show how pol…

Light pulses propagating through ZnO undergo distortions caused by both bound and free excitons. Numerous lines of bound excitons dissect the pulse and induce slowing of light around them, to the extend dependent on their nature. Exciton-polariton resonances determine the overall pulse delay and attenuation. The delay…
