The discovery of graphene has aroused great interest in the properties and phenomena exhibited by two-dimensional inorganic materials, especially when they comprise only a single, two or a few layers. Graphene-like MoS2 ...

Polyoctasilsesquioxane (POSS) has been employed to covalently functionalize nanostructures of TiO2, ZnO and Fe2O3 as well as carbon nanotubes, nanodiamond and graphene to enable their dispersion in polar solvents. Covalent ...

Compounds possessing the Kagome network are truly interesting because of their unusual low-energy properties. They exhibit magnetic frustration because of the triangular lattice inherent to the hexagonal bronze structure ...

Kagome compounds containing two transition metal ions, Co-II and Ni-II, in different proportions have been synthesized, and their magnetic properties have been found to exhibit interesting differences.

This paper reports study of day-to-day instability in the locomotor activity rhythm of the nocturnal field mouse Mus booduga. The free-running period ( tau) of this rhythm was estimated in constant darkness in n=347 adult ...

The locomotor activity of the millipede Glyphiulus cavernicolus (Spirostreptida), which occupies the deeper recesses of a cave, was monitored in light-dark (LD) cycles (12h light and 12h darkness), constant darkness (DD), ...

Enrichment of metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) has been accomplished by several means, including new extraction and synthetic procedures and by interaction with metal nanoparticles as well as electron donor ...

The oviposition rhythm of individual flies of Drosophila melanogaster from a population maintained in an aperiodic environment (with light, temperature, humidity, and other factors which could provide time cues, kept ...

Although the growth of nanocrystals has been investigated by several workers, investigations of the growth of 1-D nanostructures have been limited. We have investigated the growth kinetics of both uncapped and poly(vinyl ...

Pure CoO nanoparticles in the 4.5-18 nm range have been prepared by the decomposition of Co(II) cupferronate in Decalin at 270 degrees C under solvothermal conditions. The particles have been characterized by X-ray ...
