Noble metal mineralization in apatite titanomagnetite ores of the Suroyam massif (Middle Urals)
The mineralogical composition of apatite-titanomagnetite clinopyroxenites of the Suroyam massif, characterized by stable elevated contents of platinum group elements with the leading role of palladium, has been studied.

Platinum Group Minerals in Eastern Brazil
Brazil does not have working platinum mines, nor even large reserves of the platinum metals, but there is platinum in Brazil. In this paper, four massifs (mafic/ultramafic complexes) in eastern Brazil, in the states of Minas Gerais and Ceará, where platinum is found will be described.

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

COMPOSITION AND MORPHOLOGY OF CRYSTALS OF PLATINUM GROUP MINERALS FROM PLACERS OF THE SOUTH URALS [PDF]
Crystals of platinum group minerals (PGMs) of the Os–Ir–Ru and Pt–Fe systems from placer deposits of the South Urals are zonal and relatively homogenous in composition and can contain inclusions of PGE sulfides, arsenides, sulfarsenides, and antimonides.

Platinum-Group Elements in Sulphide Minerals, Platinum-Group Minerals, and Whole-Rocks of the Merensky Reef (Bushveld Complex, South Africa): Implications for the Formation of the Reef [PDF]
The concentrations of platinum-group elements (PGE), Co, Re, Au and Ag have been determined in the base-metal sulphide (BMS) of a section of the Merensky Reef. In addition we performed detailed image analysis of the platinum-group minerals (PGM). The aims of the study were to establish: (1) whether the BMS are the principal host of these elements; (2 ...

Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...
