	Nanomaterials have been intensively researched in recent decades, and they can be used in nanotemplate, photonic crystals, and sensors. Block copolymers (BCPs) are one of the building blocks of nanomaterials. Because the molecular weights (MWs) are limited, BCPs mostly form ordered nanostructures in the range of 10-100 nm. Recently, brush block copolymers can form ordered nanostructures with over-100 nm length siz...

	To date, molecular-level understanding of the link between various forms of S and their changes in soil is lacking. A research group from Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences provides solid evidence for the effect of fertilizer application on the sulphur speciation and transformation in soil using a combination of wet chemical fractionation and S K-edge XANES spectroscopy. Th...

	The Cu4X4 (X = anion or dianion) cubane framework is one of the most popular modules for Cu-based complexes. Nevertheless, polycopper(II) clusters featuring a multi-cubane structure are limited in number. Only two compounds based on the Cu4X4 cubical core framework with nuclearity ≥10 have been reported. In this paper, the structure and properties of the first 32-membered Cu(II) cluster based on a Cu4O3X cubic co...

	The removal of pollutants emitted from diesel vehicle has attracted more and more attention and the control of NOx at the low-temperatures, such as under “cold-start” conditions, is a challenging task in the environmental catalysis. Previous research demonstrated that supported Pt catalyst is active for the selective catalytic reduction (H2-SCR) of NOx. In terms of cost, the catalyst with low Pt loading is prefe...

	A team from state key laboratory of superhard materials of Jilin university has successfully synthesized stable OI ZrO2 nanoparticles under ambient conditions combining nanosize effects and high pressure method. Their research has been published in Nanoscale in 2016.

	Pressure-induced amorphization (PIA) has drawn great attention due to the fundamental importance in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials, and earth sciences. Previous works are mainly focused on the microscopic structure and the driving forces of amorphization, but few are focused on the physical property change during the phase transition. A team from State Key Laboratory of Superhard Materials of Jilin Un...
