Synthesis of Bulk Superconducting LiNbO2 Crystals Through CaH2 Reduction
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.CaH2 reduction reconstructively transforms insulating LiNbO3 single crystals into superconducting bulk LiNbO2 with a critical temperature of Tc = 14.4 K. Scanning electron microscopy reveals large‐volume, high‐yield phase conversion. Magnetization measurements demonstrate a robust ∼ 77% Meissner shielding fraction, establishing bulk superconductivity ...

Using optical coherence tomography to assess luster of pearls: technique suitability and insights
Scientific ReportsLuster is one of the vital indexes in pearl grading. To find a fast, nondestructive, and low-cost grading method, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is introduced to predict the luster grade through the texture features.

Spatial Homeotropic and Planar Liquid Crystal Alignment Patterning
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.A voltage‐assisted two‐step photoalignment methodology achieves precise micro‐patterning of alternating planar and homeotropic liquid crystal domains. Applying an AC electric field during in situ laser illumination minimizes phase retardation, reducing the required exposure dose. This cooperative mechanism enables high‐resolution spatial patterning and
