TL;DR: This work reports on the discovery of an ultralow-fatigue shape memory alloy film system based on TiNiCu that allows at least 10 million transformation cycles, and finds that these films contain Ti2Cu precipitates embedded in the base alloy that serve as sentinels to ensure complete and reproducible transformation in the course of each memory cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the Ti54Ni34Cu12 shape memory alloy films allow at least 10 million transformation cycles and up to 20 million transformations, respectively. But they did not specify the number of transformation cycles.

TL;DR: A novel approach for the fabrication of variable composition alloy nanoparticles that is based on a Haberland type gas aggregation cluster source with a custom-made multicomponent target for magnetron sputtering is suggested.

TL;DR: A macroscopically expanded, three-dimensional diffuser composed of interconnected hollow hexagonal boron nitride microtubes with nanoscopic wall-thickness acting as an artificial solid fog, capable of withstanding ~10 times the irradiance level of remote phosphors is demonstrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new strategy based on surface functionalization and doping of semiconducting oxides was proposed for tuning device properties, which achieved a considerable increase in the gas sensing ability of Fe-doped ZnO (ZnO:Fe) columnar films grown by chemical deposition is achieved via surface decoration with oxidized silver nanoparticles (AgO/Ag NPs) with a diameter of ∼7-10 nm.
