	Double network structures formed with either two polymer or polymer and inorganic nanofiller have been demonstrated to enhance mechanical properties in orders of magnitude, which is an effective approach to create advanced structural and functional materials with unmatchable properties. The mechanical enhancement is attributed to fracture of network with weak bond while the network with strong bond maintains the i...

	Recently, Ag2Te was experimentally confirmed to be a 3D topological insulator (TI) at ambient pressure; however, the high-pressure behaviors and properties of Ag2Te were rarely and ambiguously reported. A team from state key lab of Superhard materials in Jilin university has gained insight into the mysterious structure and function of Ag2Te. Their research has been published on September 30th, 2015 in Scientific ...

	Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a precursor phase frequently present at the early stage of crystallization from aqueous solution. According to a structure model proposed by American scientists in 1970s, the amorphous phase is the aggregates of clusters with the composition of Ca9(PO4)6 and water molecules filling in the interstitial space. Recently, a team from Peking University School of Pharmaceutical Scien...

	Lithium rich manganese-based layered oxide (LRMBO) with high capacity exceeding 250 mA h/g is considered as the most promising cathode candidate of Li-ion batteries. But the severe capacity decay hinders its practical application. Prof. Dingguo Xia’s Group, from Beijing Key Laboratory of Theory and Technology for Advanced Battery Materials, has developed a novel strategy for preparing a highly homogeneous nanocoa...

	In order to tune the crystallinity, Chen Y et al reported blending a small amount of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as additive or plasticizer, achieving a better phase separation and a higher performance. However, from DIO to PDMS, the most additives reported are inert in the film, which will become traps for charge separation and transport when blending slightly overdose of them. This sensitivity and disadvantage s...

	Recently, a research group from Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China has deeply investigated the processes of chromium translocation and transformaton in the plant-AM fungi continuum, and their results has been published on 15th, Dec, 2015 in Environmental Science & Technology.
