TL;DR: The highly anisotropic nanostructures with high density vertical interfaces between the Ni nanopillars and CeO2 matrix also promote the mixed electrical and ionic conductivities out-of-plane and thus demonstrate great potential as nanocomposite anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells and other potential applications requiring an isotropic ionic transport properties.

TL;DR: This approach provides a large degree of long-range ordering for nanocomposite growth that could lead to unique functionalities and takes the Nanocomposites one step closer toward future nanoscale device integration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the number of charm mesons produced from D D annihilation in the hadron gas formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions is studied. But it was shown that production is negligible in heavy ion collisions at RHIC but may be important at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

TL;DR: Broadband mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonic circuits that integrate silicon waveguides and epitaxial barium titanate (BTO) thin films are demonstrated using the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process to enable tunable mid-IR microphotonics that are desired for high-speed optical logic gates and chip-scale biochemical sensors.

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy results show that LSMO:CuO films grow as highly textured self-assembled vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN), with a systematic domain structure and strain tuning effect based on the substrate type and laser deposition frequency.
