Synthesis of silver/copper nanoparticles and their metalmetal bonding property by Kobayashi Y., Shirochi T., Yasuda Y., Morita T.

“…The Ag/Cu nanoparticles with particle sizes of 30-85 nm and crystal sizes of 9.3 nm for Cu and 8.1 nm for Ag were produced by reducing 5.0x10-3 M Ag+ (AgClO4) and 5.0x10-3 M Cu2+ (Cu(NO3)2) simultaneously with 1.0 M hydrazine in aqueous solution containing 1.0 g/L poly(vinylpyrrolidone) as dispersing agent and 5Ч10-3 M citric acid as stabilizer at room temperature. Discs of metallic Cu or metallic Ag were successfully bonded under annealing at 400ºC and pressurizing at 1.2 MPa for 5 min in H2 gas with help of the Ag/Cu particles. …”

Direct measurement of the critical cooling rate for the vitrification of water by Nathan J. Mowry, Constantin R. Krüger, Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich J. Lorenz

“…This result provides important insights into the question of how closely the conformational ensembles in plunge-frozen cryo samples reflect the structure of a protein at room temperature. Moreover, our experimental approach expands the toolkit of microsecond time-resolved cryo-EM, an emerging technique, in which a cryo sample is flash melted and revitrified with a laser pulse in order to enable time-resolved observations of protein dynamics.…”

Dewetting dynamics of metal/metallic coated ceramic systems at high temperatures by Ran Sui, Qiaoli Lin

“…Results revealed asymmetric wetting-dewetting, indicating strong chemical bonds instead of reversible physical ones at high temperatures, deviating from traditional model predictions. Current room-temperature dewetting models (including hydrodynamic model, molecular kinetic theory and the combined model) fail to accurately describe high-temperature dewetting dynamics on metallized ceramics. …”

Hubble Parameter Corrected Interactions in Cosmology by J. Sadeghi, M. Khurshudyan, M. Hakobyan, H. Farahani

“…It is thought that there should be interaction between cosmic fluids, but this assumption for this stage carries only phenomenological character opening a room for different kinds of manipulations. In this paper we will consider a modification of an interaction Q, where we accept that interaction parameter b1 (order of unity) in Q=3Hb1ρ is time dependent and presented as a linear function of Hubble parameter H of the form b0+btH, where b and b0 are constants. …”
