Amorphous high-entropy phosphide nanosheets with multi-atom catalytic sites for efficient oxygen evolution by Li, Xiumin, Xie, Zhengkun, Roy, Soumyabrata, Gao, Longqing, Liu, Jie, Zhao, Bing, Wei, Ran, Tang, Bijun, Wang, Hongyan, Ajayan, Pulickel, Tang, Keyong

“…Furthermore, Fe and Ni/Co sites prefer to stabilize the HO* and HOO* intermediates respectively, conducive to breaking their scaling relation of Gibbs free energy during OER. Owing to its fine-tuned composition and the synergistic effect of multiple active sites, the FeCoNiCuYP/C electrocatalyst demonstrates superior OER performance in alkaline solutions, requiring a mere 316 mV overpotential to yield 100 mA cm-2 current density with excellent stability. …”

An exploratory study for a new method to search for heavy neutrinos with data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) by Tan, Cherlene Shu Ning

“…Till this date, all neutrinos observed are left-handed, rotating clockwise with respect to the direction of motion while the corresponding antineutrinos are right-handed, spinning counterclockwise. However, the fact that neutrinos have mass and spin implies that right handed neutrinos and their corresponding left-handed antineutrinos may exist and have differing properties from their chiral counterparts. …”
