DNA oligomers can form silver-mediated duplexes, stable in gas phase and solution, with potential for novel biomedical and technological applications. The nucleobase-metal bond primarily drives duplex ...

The synthesis of the first homoleptic double metallocene complex of iron, Fe2Pn*2 (Pn* = permethylpentalene, C8Me6) is described. The structural and electronic properties of Fe2Pn*2 have been ...

In a new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities discovered surprising magnetic behavior in one of the thinnest metallic oxide materials ever made. This could pave the way for ...

The local ordered structures during the shear deformation are analyzed using the bond-orientational order parameters (BOOP), q l (l = 2,4,6,8, … ) (Steinhardt et al., 1983; Mickel et al., 2013). In ...

The recent development of a microshear test has made possible the quantitative study of the effect of surface contamination on thermocompression ball bonding of gold to gold metallization.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, in vitro, the shear bond strength presented by three brands of polycrystalline ceramic brackets and one brand of metallic bracket; verify the adhesive remnant index (ARI) after ...
