TL;DR: This work reports the nanoscale loading and confinement of aquated Gd3+n-ion clusters within ultra-short single-walled carbon nanotubes (US-tubes) that are linear superparamagnetic molecular magnets with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) efficacies 40 to 90 times larger than any Gd 3+-based contrast agent (CA) in current clinical use.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new high-temperature superconducting compound system, Ba2Can−1CunOx[02(n−1) n−Ba] interstitially doped with calcium or (Ca,Cu) has been identified to exhibit a transition temperature up to 126 kelvin, the highest for a superconductor without a volatile toxic element.

TL;DR: In this paper, the high temperature superconducting Hg-Ba-Ca-Cu-O (HBCCO) compound system reported by Schilling et al. has been reproduced with an onset transition-temperature up to ≁140 K and a main transition at ≁135 K, after proper heat-treatment.

TL;DR: The superconducting phase HgBa2CaCu2O6+δ with a sharp transition has been prepared and studied in this paper, and it has a tetragonal symmetry with lattice parameters a=3.862(1) A and c=12.707(5) A.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic doping study on HgBa 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O 8+δ has been carried out, where the authors found that the addition of slight amounts of Hg-halogenide and Reoxide shortens the final reaction time and promotes the grain growth of the compound.
