Article Abstract
The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is an efficient approach to convert sustainable energy sources into clean energy carriers, H. Although various transition metal sulfides (TMSs) have been reported as promising alternatives to precious metal-based catalysts, the top catalyst among TMSs remains unclear as there is a dearth of high-quality studies that provide a 'fair' comparison of the performance of these TMSs synthesized and tested under the same conditions. In this work, layered transition metal sulfides (MS: MoS, WS, VS) and non-layered transition metal sulfides (MS: FeS, CoS, NiS) were obtained by a straightforward hydrothermal method, and thus a comprehensive platform was established for the comparison of the intrinsic activity of these materials in the HER. Experimental results demonstrate that layered MS exhibits better performance than non-layered MS in acidic electrolytes, while CoS and NiS can catalyze hydrogen evolution more effectively under alkaline conditions due to structural reconfiguration. MoS shows the best HER performance in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes, particularly in 1 M KOH solution. This work provides guidance for the optimal design of transition metal electrocatalysts, and structural engineering strategies can be used to further enhance their catalytic activity.

Organocatalytic Halogenation of Indazoles and Pyrazoles with -Halosuccinimides Enhanced by Gallocyanine as Halogen-Transfer Agent.

A screening of organic dyes has led to the discovery of gallocyanine as an organocatalyst for the halogenation of a variety of functionalized pyrazoles, indazoles, and aromatics. This work provides an example of a mild organocatalyst that does not require light, oxidizing agents, transition-metal activation, or high temperatures. Thirty-nine halogenated pyrazoles and indazoles, including pharmaceuticals such as celecoxib, deracoxib, and antipyrine, have been isolated in good to excellent yields using -halosuccinimides as the stoichiometric halogen source with gallocyanine as the catalyst.

This study aimed to histomorphometrically evaluate the effect of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and two implant surfaces on the thickness and height of newly formed bone in dehiscence defects around titanium implants. Three premolars and the first bilateral molar were extracted from ten adult mongrel dogs, and 40 buccal bone dehiscences measuring 5 mm in height and 4 mm in width were created using a University of North Carolina (UNC) periodontal probe to confirm the dimensions. Forty implants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: oxidized implant surfaces (OIS, n = 10), turned/machined implant surfaces (TIS, n = 10), OIS + GBR (n = 10), and TIS + GBR (n = 10).

The anomalous metal state (AMS), observed in "failed" superconductors, provides insights into superconductivity and quantum criticality, with studies revealing unconventional quantum phases like the Bose metal. Recently, layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) superconductors approaching the two-dimensional limit have garnered significant attention for the enhanced phase fluctuations and electronic correlations. Investigating AMSs in these systems, particularly in the absence of an external magnetic field, could offer valuable insights into the dimensionality-driven emergence of exotic quantum phenomena, including triplet Cooper pairing, phase fluctuation dynamics, and especially the recently discovered field-free superconducting diode effects.

This article presents a multiproxy investigation of metal samples obtained from 48 Nuragic figurines (so-called bronzetti) and three copper bun ingots. These objects originate from three prominent Sardinian sanctuaries and one unidentified site, dating to the late Nuragic period of the early first millennium BCE. The dataset significantly expands the existing scientific database and unwraps the complex fabrication biographies of the figurines from ore to finished object.
