The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released Standard Reference Material (SRM) 1d for Indiana limestone, which is a critical component in various industries. The SRM will support the production of cement, concrete, and iron steel.
A stable cluster of aluminum atoms, Al13, demonstrates properties similar to those of a halogen, retaining its properties during chemical reactions and in reaction products. The research uses experimental evidence and theoretical calculations to show that the cluster can be considered a 'superhalogen' atom.
Researchers have successfully grown monomolecular films of a helical polypeptide, poly-gamma-benzyl-L-glutamate, directly from a flat surface. The films exhibit comparable polarization to conventional ferroelectric materials, with potential applications in piezo- and pyroelectric devices.
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have isolated massive gold-cluster molecules with exceptional quantum properties. The gold cluster materials can be used in single-electronics and exhibit charge-quantization effects, offering a breakthrough for nanoelectronic applications.
