TL;DR: It is shown that WS2 and MoS2 effectively reinforce polymers, whereas WS2/carbon nanotube hybrid films have high conductivity, leading to promising thermoelectric properties.

TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of a single grain boundary in a magnesium oxide bi-crystal to the polarization of an applied microwave field as a function of temperature was measured, and it was shown that grain boundaries are the main contributor to the observed difference in dielectric losses between single crystals and polycrystalline ceramics.

TL;DR: Spectromicroscopy of tissue surrounding failed CoCr metal-on-metal hip replacements detected corroded nanoscale debris in periprosthetic tissue in two chemical states, with concomitant mitochondrial damage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the use of global and local magnetometry and Hall probe imaging to investigate the electromagnetic connectivity of the superconducting current path in the oxygen-deficient fluorine-free Nd-based oxypnictides.
