POM‐Based Water Splitting Catalyst Under Acid Conditions Driven by Its Assembly on Carbon Nanotubes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A newly‐engineered POM‐based electrocatalyst incorporating non‐innocent counter cations exhibits fast kinetics for either the OER or HER under strongly acidic conditions (1 m H2SO4), depending on whether it is assembled on carbon nanotubes (1@CNT) or physically mixed with them (1/CNT). In water‐splitting tests using a two‐electrode setup, these systems

Resistance of legionella pneumophila and helicobacter pylori to chlorination in drinking water biofilms [PDF]

, 2008
The disintegration of concrete structures made of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is a worrying topic of increasing significance. The development of new binders with longer durability is therefore needed.

High‐κ Perovskite‐Like Ternary Niobium Oxide Dielectrics for 2D Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
High‐κ dielectrics are vital for scaled electronics. Here, a family of 2D high‐κ perovskite‐like ternary niobium oxides is synthesized via a molten salt‐assisted method. Their integration into FETs and logic gates reveals superior switching characteristics, providing a fresh material platform and new insights for the advancement of high‐performance 2D ...

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.
