Ruthenium-iridium nanosized coral. Ruthenium-iridium nanosized corals (RuIr-NC) are electrodes consisting of nanosized anisotropic ruthenium-iridium sheets for efficient electrolysis of water in acid discovered in the Kyoto University.

The RuIr-NC were discovered unintentionally at the Kyoto University, but then investigated and refined for the purpose of efficient electrolysis of water in acid and found to have very promising qualities in terms of performance and durability.

As of 2021 the researchers at Kyoto University report their RuIr-NC are composed of 94% ruthenium and 6% iridium with the exposed hexagonal atomic arrangement corresponding to a hexagonal closed-packed (HCP) crystalline lattice plane crystal structure. The nanosheets take the form of 3 nm thick sheets with a mean diameter of 57 ± 7 nm. The researchers found them suitable for use as both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrodes.

Their water splitting cell using RuIr-NC as both OER and HER electrodes is able to achieve 10 mA cm−2geo at 1.485 V for 120 h without noticeable degradation. They report that, of the electrodes they evaluated for water electrolysis in acid, the RuIr-NC shows the highest intrinsic activity and stability.

The RuIr-NC is obtained by adding a mixture of RuCl3·nH2O and H2IrCl6 aqueous solutions to triethylene glycol solution containing polyvinylpyrrolidone at 230 °C.

The research team at Kyoto University published their work in February 2021 and presented it at the Chemical Society of Japan 101. General Meeting in March 2021.

Sara Majetich. Sara A. Majetich is an American physicist and Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. Her work considers magnetic nanoparticles and nanostructures for application in spintronic devices. She is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Early life and education 
Majetich started her scientific career at Princeton University where she majored in chemistry. After graduating she moved to Columbia University, where she worked toward a master's degree in physical chemistry. Majetich was a doctoral student at the University of Georgia, where she studied phonon dynamics in ruby. After earning her doctorate Majetich moved to Cornell University, where she worked as postdoctoral research associate. In 1992 she was awarded an National Science Foundation National Young Investigator Award.

Research and career 
In 1995 Majetich joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University. She was promoted to Professor of Physics in 1998. Majetich studies magnetic nanoparticles for magnetic imaging and magnetic data storage. These nanoparticles have very uniform sizes (i.e. they are monodisperse), which means that they can form arrays. She made use of magnetic transmission electron microscopy (Lorentz microscopy) to study the collective behaviour of magnetic nanoparticles, and showed that structural disorder disrupts self-assembly into ordered domains and can result in spin-glass dynamics. As nanoparticles assembly into ordered arrays various phase transitions can be expected, such as superparamagnetic to ferromagnetic and insulator to metal.

To this end, she developed a nano-masking process which allows for the transfer of patterns into multi-layer magnetic films. This process involves argon-ion milling to transfer the pattern of metal oxide nanoparticles into oriented, multi-layer thin films and magnetic tunnel junctions.

Majetich pioneered the use of conductive atomic force microscopy to measure magnetoresistance.

Allotropes of silicon. Allotropes of silicon are structurally varied forms of silicon.

Amorphous silicon 
Amorphous silicon takes the form of a brown powder.

Crystalline silicon 
Crystalline silicon has a metallic luster and a grayish color. Single crystals can be grown with the Czochralski process. Crystalline silicon can be doped with elements such as boron, gallium, germanium, phosphorus or arsenic. Doped silicon is used in solid-state electronic devices, such as solar cells, rectifiers and computer chips.

Silicon crystallizes in the same pattern as diamond, viewable as two interpenetrating face-centered cubic primitive lattices. The cube measures 0.543 nm on a side.

Silicene 
Silicene is a two-dimensional system with a hexagonal honeycomb structure similar to that of graphene. Silicene has different characteristics than graphene. It has a periodically buckled topology; interlayer coupling is much stronger; and its oxidized form, 2D silica, has a different chemical structure from graphene oxide. It was first created in 2010.

Penta-silicene is a two-dimensional system with pentagonal structure similar to that of penta-graphene. The structure was first synthesized in 2005.

is an orthorhombic crystalline Si allotrope. It was first synthesized in 2014. Creating the allotrope involved forming , a polycrystalline compound with help from a tantalum capsule, high temperature, and a 1,500 ton multi-anvil press that gradually reached a pressure of . Next it was "degassed" in a vacuum at  for eight days. The result was a zeolite-type structure.

 has a quasi-direct band gap (specifically a small and almost flat indirect band gap). It can conduct electricity more efficiently than diamond-structured silicon. It can absorb and emit light. It is composed of five-, six-, and eight-membered rings. Small atoms and molecules could pass through the associated holes.

Si24 can be doped as both p- and n-type, and the dopants are readily ionized. Boron and phosphorus the most  likely dopants.

Potential applications include energy storage and filtering.

4H silicon 
4H silicon is a bulk, highly ordered hexagonal 4-layer crystalline form of . Optical absorption measurements revealed an indirect band gap near 1.2 eV, in agreement with first principles calculations.

Silicyne 

1-dimensional silicyne is analogous to the carbon allotrope carbyne, being a long chain of silicons, instead of carbons. 2-dimensional silicyne is analogous to the carbon allotrope graphyne.

Kaiser 25. The Kaiser 25 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by John R. Kaiser Sr. as a cruiser and first built in 1962.

Production
The design was built by Plastic Fabricators, Inc. of Wilmington, Delaware under contract to Kaiser Yachts/Stowman Shipbuilding in the United States from 1962 until about 1964, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Kaiser 25 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a spooned, raked stem; a raised counter, angled transom; a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel. It displaces  and carries  of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of  with the standard keel.

The boat may be fitted with a standard well-mounted outboard motor, or optionally an inboard Swedish Volvo diesel engine of , for docking and maneuvering.

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder, with the sink on the port side and the ice box on the starboard. The fresh water tank has a capacity of . The head is located in the bow cabin under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is .

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 273 and a hull speed of .

Operational history
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "in his sales brochure, Kaiser says that 'it is the intention of the designer to produce a small, able, and comfortable cruising-racing sloop of superior quality in every detail.' The brochure also states that while the entire hull and deck is normally plastic, a superstructure (presumably meaning deck and cabin house) of wood is available at owner's option, and that various changes in the accommodations plan could also be made 'at a slight extra cost.' An outboard well with watertight plug was standard; inboard power was available at a cost, depending on make and model. Best features: This looks like a high-quality product for its day. Worst features: None discovered."

Norden Systems. Norden Systems was an American manufacturer of radar systems.

History 
The Norden Laboratories Corporation was founded in New York City in 1943 to conduct research, while the separate Carl L. Norden Corporation built Norden bombsights. In 1949, the company was purchased by Paul W. Adams. Then, in 1955 it was merged with the Ketay Instrument Corporation to form Norden-Ketay Corporation. The company was bought by United Aircraft in 1958. It remained a subsidiary through the transition to United Technologies – in the process absorbing Dynell Electronics Corporation and becoming Norden Systems – before being sold to Westinghouse Electric in 1994. However, following an employee backlash due to a planned move to Baltimore, it was sold for a final time to Northrop Grumman in 1996. Decreasing utilization of the division's headquarters would eventually force the closure of the division in 2013.
