Polymer dots (PDs) showing concentration-mediated multicolor fluorescence were first prepared from sulfuric acid-treated dehydration of Pluronic® F-127 in a single step. Pluronic-based PDs (P-PDs) showed high dispersion stability in solvent media and exhibited a fluorescence emission that was widely tunable from red t…

The limited long-term hydrolytic stability of rapidly emerging 3D-extended framework materials (MOFs, COFs, MOPs, etc.) is still one of major barriers for their practical applications as new solid-state electrolytes in fuel cells. To obtain hydrolytically stable materials, two H2 PO4 (-) -exchanged 3D inorganic cation…

Blooms of centric diatoms are a common feature in the Bilbao estuary during summer when river flow is at its lowest and water temperature is above 20ºC. To gain insight into the specific composition of these diatom blooms, net samples and cultures of estuarine isolates were analysed under the scanning electron microsc…

Zinc oxide (ZnO) undergoes a pressure-induced structural transition from its normal ambient-pressure wurtzite (WZ) phase to a rocksalt (RS) phase around 10 GPa. A recent experiment shows that the high-pressure RS ZnO phase can be recovered and stabilized at ambient conditions, which raises exciting prospects of expand…

The formation of Pt and Rh nanoclusters on a graphene moiré pattern on Cu(111) was studied with ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV-STM). Isolated graphene islands with different periodicities were successfully grown on the Cu surface. As a result of weak coupling to the Cu substrate, different graphen…

Although early transition metal (ETM) carbides can activate CH bonds in condensed-phase systems, the electronic-level mechanism is unclear. Atomic clusters are ideal model systems for understanding the mechanisms of bond activation. For the first time, CH activation of a simple alkane (ethane) by an ETM carbide clus…
