Insect wing veins are biological composites of chitin and protein arranged in a complex lamellar configuration. Although these hierarchical structures are found in many 'venous wings' of insects, very little is known about their physical and mechanical characteristics. For the first time, we carried out a systematic c…

One of the main problems of the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis is the overly broad distribution of the produced hydrocarbons due to the Anderson–Schulz–Flory law. This work is directed toward the solution of this problem by the application of nanoreactors with incorporated metal nanoparticles. Our results show that encapsu…

A novel method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from NdFeB magnets was developed. This method involves three basic steps, i.e., the vacuum induction melting (VIM) process, the hydrolysis process and the magnetic separation process (HMS). In the VIM process, the NdFeB magnets were melted in a graphite crucible und…
