Cation migration-induced lattice oxygen oxidation in spinel oxide for superior oxygen evolution reaction by Ahmed, Mahmoud Gamal, Tay, Ying Fan, Chi, Xiao, Razeen, Ahmed S., Fang, Yanan, Zhang, Mengyuan, Sng, Anqi, Chiam, Sing Yang, Rusydi, Andrivo, Wong, Lydia Helena

“…Soft X-ray absorption- and Raman-spectroscopies, combined with 18O isotope-labelling experiments, reveal that lattice oxygen activation is driven by Cr oxidation, which induces a cation migration from CrO6 octahedrons to CrO4 tetrahedrons. The geometry conversion creates accessible non-bonding oxygen states, crucial for lattice oxygen oxidation. …”

Core-shell structure alginate-PLGA/PLLA microparticles as a novel drug delivery system for water soluble drugs by Lim, Ming Pin

“…This is hoped that this would improve the loading of water soluble drugs, while allowing for the release behavior to be governed by the core-shell geometry of the particulates formed. In addition, the hydrogel core is also expected to perform as a stable and friendly environment for protein encapsulation. …”

Seismic imaging of the Main Frontal Thrust in Nepal reveals a shallow décollement and blind thrusting by Almeida, Rafael V., Hubbard, Judith, Liberty, Lee, Foster, Anna, Sapkota, Soma Nath

“…However, these data are sparse relative to fault segmentation and length, and interpretations are often hard to validate in the absence of information about fault geometry. Here, we image the upper two km of strata in the vicinity of the fault tip of the MFT in central Nepal (around the town of Bardibas) applying a pre-stack migration approach to two new seismic reflection profiles that we interpret using quantitative fault-bend folding theory. …”
