A crystalline graphitic structure—uniform diameter, thin‐walled carbon microtubes (see Figure)—has been prepared via a thermal reaction between ZnS and activated carbon. The microtubes have outer diameters of ∼ 1–2 μm, wall thicknesses of 10–20 nm, and lengths from several hundreds of micrometers to millimeters. The f…

Magnetically driven self‐assembly of colloidal particles into highly ordered structures on a substrate is demonstrated. This process allows for programming of specific geometrical patterns of colloidal particles. It also permits assembly of well‐defined colloidal patterns of many different particle types, possibly car…

The propagation and manipulation of magneto-inductive waves is studied under conditions when there is reflection due to lack of matching, when power is coupled from one waveguide to another, when coupling causes directional properties and when tunnelling occurs between two waveguides. The relationships obtained are co…

Abstract Sulfur‐crosslinked nitrile butadiene rubber (s‐NBR) was found to be devulcanized when it was heated with nitrobenzene at 200°C for 3 h. The tetrahydrofuran (THF)‐soluble fraction from s‐NBR heated with nitrobenzene was purified by reprecipitation with THF/ n ‐hexane, chloroform/ n ‐hexane, and THF/ n ‐hexane…

The YjgF/YER057c/UK114 family is a highly conserved class of proteins that is represented in the three domains of life. Thus far, a biochemical function demonstrated for these proteins in vivo or in vitro has yet to be defined. In several organisms, strains lacking a YjgF homolog have a defect in branched-chain amino…

RuO(2)-based catalysts are much more active in the oxidation of CO than related metallic Ru catalysts. This high catalytic activity (or low activation barrier) is attributed to the weak oxygen surface bonding of bridging O atoms on RuO(2)(110) in comparison with the strongly chemisorbed oxygen on Ru(0001). Since the R…
