Highly thermal-stable paramagnetism by rolling up MoS2 nanosheets.

Controlling phase transitions through local strain engineering is an exciting avenue for tailoring the electronic and magnetic properties of materials at the nanoscale. Herein, we demonstrate a tunable semiconducting to metallic phase transition of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides using strain engineering through rolled up MoS2 sheets (named as MoS2 scrolls). A phase incorporate...

Dishing up bone formation

ow cells connect to each other and to the extracellular matrix (ECM) was a sticky issue in the early 1980s. Integrins, molecules that hook the cy-toskeleton to ECM proteins such as collagen and fibronectin, hadn't been discovered, but evidence for a link between external and internal fibers was mounting. For example, Irwin Singer (1979) observed that extra-cellular fibronectin molecules closely...

Preparation and characterization of a degradable magnesium phosphate bone cement

A kind of degradable magnesium phosphate bone cement (MPBC) was fabricated by using the mixed powders of magnesium oxide (MgO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH2PO4) and calcium dihydrogen phosphate (Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O). As MgKPO4, the main product of MgO and KH2PO4 was alkaline, the Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O was added to neutralize the alkali of the system. And the effects of Ca(H2PO4)2.H2O on the performa...
