Boosting energy efficiency and selectivity of glucose oxidation toward glucuronic acid in high-frequency ultrasound using multicavity CuO catalytic cavitation agents by Xie, Z, Mahendran, V, Jonnalagadda, US, Fan, Q, Su, X, Fischer, AF, Tan, M, Tao, L, Jérôme, F, Kwan, JJ, Valange, S, Choksi, TS, Amaniampong, PN, Liu, W

“…First, the generation of OH radicals and possibly other reactive oxygen species in the bulk aqueous phase resulted in the formation of gluconic acid, together with other byproducts of C-C bond cleavage and ring opening. Second, the generation of OH radicals in close proximity to CuO resulted in the formation of glucuronic acid with the six membered ring preserved. …”

Emergent vortices at a ferromagnetic superconducting oxide interface by Petrović, A P, Paré, A, Paudel, T R, Lee, K, Holmes, S, Barnes, C H W, David, A, Wu, T, Tsymbal, E Y, Panagopoulos, C

“…This hysteresis is argued to arise from vortex depinning within a thin (< 20 nm) superconducting layer, mediated by discrete ferromagnetic dipoles located solely above the layer. The pinning strength may be modified by varying the superconducting channel thickness via electric field-effect doping. …”
