It is well-known that surfactant–oil–water (SOW) emulsions undergo substantial changes in drop size (10-fold or more) and stability (up to 4 orders of magnitude) near the phase inversion point. Predicting these changes is important in numerous applications. However, the complex connection between composition, formulat…

Solution deposition of planar films of the hybrid perovskite (HP) methylammonium (MA) lead iodochloride (MAPbI3-xClx) often results in very low surface coverage, small grain size, and high density of defects, particularly for the pure iodide HP. These decrease the optoelectronic quality of MAPbI3 (minority lifetimes a…

Elastic waves are guided along finite structures such as cylinders, plates, or rods through reflection, refraction, and mode conversion at the interfaces. Such wave propagation is ubiquitous in the world around us, and studies of elastic waveguides first emerged in the later part of the 19(th) century. Early work on e…

The Ni atom at the catalytic center of [NiFe] hydrogenases is incorporated by a Ni-metallochaperone, HypA, and a GTPase/ATPase, HypB. We report the crystal structures of the transient complex formed between HypA and ATPase-type HypB (HypBAT) with Ni ions. Transient association between HypA and HypBAT is controlled by…

In biological oxidations, the intermediate Fe(V)(O)(OH) has been proposed to be the active species for catalyzing the epoxidation of alkenes by nonheme iron complexes. However, no study has been reported yet that elucidates the mechanism of direct O-atom transfer during the reaction of Fe(V)(O) with alkenes to form th…
