We introduce here a multifunctional material composed of alternating atomic sulfide sheets close to CuFeS2 and Mg-based hydroxide ones (valleriite), which are assembled due to their electric charges of opposite…
A well-controlled piezoelectrically mediated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (piezo-RAFT) was carried out under ultrasound agitation with piezoelectric ZnO nanoparticles as the mechano-chemical trans-ducer. The resulting polymer had predictable molecular…
Graphene is a material of key interest across several research fields. Bulk graphene synthesis, however, has long remained a challenge for larger-scale projects and real-world manufacturability. This work seeks an…

Bromination of high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) nanodiamond (ND) surfaces has not been explored and can open new avenues for increased chemical reactivity and diamond lattice covalent bond formation. The large bond…
BackgroundOn the occasion of the redefinition of the Avogadro constant in May 2019, a brief history and some didactic reflections on its magnitude are presented.PurposeSome analogies are reviewed and others…
