[Nanoparticles] – Copper oxide sub-nanoparticle catalysts prove most superior
23 février 2020
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology have shown that copper oxide particles on the sub-nanoscale are more powerful catalysts than those on the nanoscale. These subnanoparticles can also catalyze the oxidation reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons far more effectively than catalysts currently used in industry.

[Spintronics] – Topological materials outperform through quantum periodic motion
21 février 2020
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered that applying vibrational motion in a periodic manner may be the key to preventing dissipations of the desired electron states that would make advanced quantum computing and spintronics possible (npj Quantum Materials, « Light Control of Surface-Bulk Coupling by Terahertz Vibrational Coherence in a Topological Insulator »).
