Article Abstract
A study on the crystal structure of monoclinic HfO has been performed using synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction data separately, as well as a combination of both. The precision of the structural parameters increases significantly due to application of the neutron diffraction technique. The experimental oxygen positions in HfO, derived precisely, are visualized only by semi-local density functional calculations in terms of the calculated electronic band gap, but are not captured as accurately by using hybrid functionals.

The supported catalytically active liquid metal solution (SCALMS) concept is based on catalytically active metals dissolved in a low-melting-point liquid metal matrix. These solid alloy particles, deposited over a high area support, transform into a liquid alloy under reaction conditions. In this work, GaPt SCALMS materials of varying composition are investigated and focus on the change in the alloy composition during preheating, the actual high temperature propane dehydrogenation at 823 K, and after cool-down.

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is a critical enzyme in the one-carbon (1C) metabolism pathway catalyzing the reversible conversion of L-Ser into Gly and concurrent transfer of 1C unit to tetrahydrofolate (THF) to give 5,10-methylene-THF (5,10-MTHF), which is used in the downstream syntheses of biomolecules critical for cell proliferation. The cellular 1C metabolism is hijacked by many cancer types to support cancer cell proliferation, making SHMT a promising target for the design and development of novel small-molecule antimetabolite chemotherapies. To advance structure-assisted drug design, knowledge of SHMT catalysis is crucial, but can only be fully realized when the atomic details of each reaction step governed by the acid-base catalysis are elucidated by visualizing active site hydrogen atoms.

Achieving precise control of materials synthesis is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, driving efficiency, functionality, and device innovation. This review examines the roles of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and neutron scattering (NS) in advancing our understanding of these processes. TEM offers atomic-scale insights into nucleation, growth, and phase transitions, while NS provides an analysis of reaction pathways, phase evolution, and structural transformations over broader length scales.

Altermagnets are a newly identified family of collinear antiferromagnets with a momentum-dependent spin-split band structure of non-relativistic origin, derived from spin-group symmetry-protected crystal structures. Among candidate altermagnets, CrSb is attractive for potential applications because of a large spin-splitting near the Fermi level and a high Néel transition temperature of around 700 K. Molecular beam epitaxy is used to synthesize CrSb (0001) thin films with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 100 nm.

Materials exhibiting coexisting exploitable properties often result in especially attractive behavior from both fundamental and applied perspectives. In particular, magnetoelectric materials combining ferroelectric and magnetic properties are increasingly becoming paramount nowadays. Here, we show that FeH(PO) exhibits proton conductivity and the coexistence of magnetic and polar structural features, suggesting that such frameworks may be of broader interest beyond the field of proton conductors.
