Ochrobactrum species are non-enteric, Gram-negative organisms that are closely related to the genus Brucella. Since the designation of the genus in 1988, several distinct species have now been characterised and implicated ...

The combination of two active Li-ion materials (Ge and Sn) can result in improved conduction paths and higher capacity retention. Here we report for the first time, the implementation of Ge1–xSnx alloy nanowires as anode ...

The functionality of liquid-liquid interfaces formed between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) can be markedly enhanced by modification with supramolecular assemblies or solid nanomaterials. The focus of this ...

Since the 1990s therapeutic procedures using catheters, stents and other minimally invasive medical devices have replaced the need for invasive surgical procedures of the past. However, many of these devices are made ...

Here, we report the formation of high density arrays of Cu15Si4 nanowires using a high boiling point organic solvent based method. The reactions were carried out using Cu foil substrates as the Cu source with nanowire ...

Acetylene (C2H2) capture is a step in a number of industrial processes but comes with a high energy footprint. Whereas physisorbents have the potential to reduce this energy footprint, they are handicapped by generally ...

A new methanol solvate of clozapine base (CPB) has been identified. It exhibits different molecular arrangements and bonding environments at low and room temperatures, while still maintaining the same PXRD pattern throughout. ...

Although confocal infrared (IR) absorption micro-spectroscopy is well established for far-field chemical imaging, its scope remains restricted since diffraction limits the spatial resolution to values a little above half ...

Here we report the formation of high-performance and high-capacity lithium-ion battery anodes from high-density germanium nanowire arrays grown directly from the current collector. The anodes retain capacities of similar ...

The sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction at the anode severely limits the hydrogen production at the cathode in water spitting systems. While electrocatalytic systems based on cheap and earth-abundant ...
