Designing superhard metals: The case of low borides
The search for new superhard materials has usually focused on strong covalent solids. It is, however, a huge challenge to design superhard metals because of the low resistance of metallic bonds against the formation and movement of dislocations. Here, we

A series of donor‐attached brominated chiral luminescent radicals (CzTTBrM, 2CzTTBrM, and 3CzTTBrM) was synthesized, showing red to near‐infrared (NIR) circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with exceptionally high PLQY of up to 76% and markedly enhanced CPL brightness (BCPL). Doping into polystyrene microspheres further yields whispering gallery mode

New ZrB$_2$ polymorphs: First-principles calculations
Two new hypothetical zirconium diboride (ZrB2) polymorphs: (hP6-P63/mmc space group, no.194) and (oP6-Pmmn-space group, no.59), were thoroughly studied under the first-principles density functional theory calculations from the structural, mechanical and ...

Thermodynamic modeling of the NbeB system [PDF]
In the present work, the Nb–B binary system was thermodynamically optimized. The stable phases in this system are BCC (niobium), Nb3B2, NbB, Nb3B4, Nb5B6, NbB2, B (boron) and liquid L.

The binder is shown to interact antagonistically with the catalyst in a sulfur cathode, impeding Li2Sx adsorption onto catalytic active sites. This hinders electrochemical performance and prevents the effective deployment of catalysts. This study showcases catalyst‐binder compatibility as a key parameter for cathode design in lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S ...

Room‐Temperature Gas‐Phase CO2‐to‐C3 Coupling by a 4f‐Aromatic Cluster
We engineered a 4f metalla aromatic cluster, PrB2C2−, that enables efficient sequential C−C coupling with CO2 at room temperature, yielding a linear C3 backbone. This system provides a complete theoretical catalytic cycle and establishes a new design principle for lanthanide mediated CO2 activation.
