David Hume's theory of justice: a defence of the establishment without recourse to the argument for the divine right of kings, or a workable guiding principle of legitimate and lasting government? [PDF]

The miscibility of foreign elements in rutile‐type IrO2 and SnO2 is greatly enhanced under high Laplace pressure, where their crystal size is reduced to the nanoscale. This enhancement leads to the successful synthesis of DSA‐composition solid‐solution nanocatalysts with notable durability during the acidic OER in water electrolysis.
