TL;DR: Transparent polycrystalline ceramics have found various applications, such as laser hosts, infrared windows/domes, lamp envelopes and transparent armors, due mainly to their processing flexibility in fabricating items with large sizes and complex shapes and more importantly costeffectiveness as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental and theoretical results that may give an insight into the current status and possible prospects of the family of hybridized carbon allotropes: graphynes (GYs) and graphdiynes (GDYs), are reviewed.

TL;DR: In this article, the most relevant works in the field of multiferroic composites obtained by sol-gel methods are presented and compared, organized according to different geometries: particles embedded in a matrix, thin/thick films and other vertical heterostructures.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review exposes different classes of equiatomic cerium intermetallic compounds whose properties are interpreted and/or predicted thanks to quantum computations in the framework of density functional theoretical (DFT).
