Crystal nucleation at a glass–solution interface has been demonstrated by evanescent-wave laser-induced nucleation for the first time. Nucleation was induced in supersaturated aqueous potassium chloride (KCl) solutions. The interaction volume was estimated to be <2 nL, localized within approximately 100 nm of the inte…

A new type of hierarchical anatase TiO2 microcage is obtained via an in situ topotactic transformation from prefabricated CaTiO3 microcages. The TiO2 microcages are composed of 3D perpendicular nanocrystals with six equivalent side faces that are dominated by anatase {001}A facets. As an anode material these unique an…

Recent animal studies have shown that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may pose a significant health risk to those exposed in the workplace. To further understand this potential risk, effort must be taken to measure the occupational exposure to CNTs. Results from an assessment of potential exposure to multi-walled carbon nanot…

Orbital interaction plays an important role in topological insulators. Using first-principles calculations, we demonstrate that hydrogenation can change two-dimensional (2D) trivial insulator/semimetal-like Pb, Mo, and W to a ${Z}_{2}$ topological insulator with giant gaps by filtering unwanted orbitals such as the ${…

Here, a novel method to prepare high performance shear thickening fluids (STFs) by dispersing calcinated silica microspheres into ethylene glycol is reported. The silica particles were prepared by hydrolyzing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), and then they were treated under high temperature to remove the physically ads…

Solid and nonconductive discharge products that form on the cathode of Li-O2 batteries are difficult to decompose efficiently into Li(+) and O2 during charging, which induces a high overcharge potential, low energy efficiency, and poor cyclability. In this paper, we investigated the effects of the mesoporous structure…
