Recently a new progress on metallic Boron Nitride (BN) has been made by Prof. Qian Wangfs group at the Center for Applied Physics and Technology (CAPT), College of Engineering at Peking University and her collaborators. With the aid of state-of-the-art theoretical calculations, they proposed new BN allotropes which exhibit unusual metallicity. This work is recently published in Journal of the American Chemical Society (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 18216H18221).
A research group consisting of members from Chuo University, NIMS and Tohoku University succeeded for the first time in the world in fabricating a three-dimensional structure of a quasicrystal composed of a single element.

Reportbuyer.com just published a new market research report: Analysis and Forecast of Vanadium Catalyst for Sulfuric Acid Production in China, 2013-2017
High-pressure experiments with ordinary table salt have produced new chemical compounds that should not exist according to the textbook rules of chemistry. The study at DESY's X-ray source PETRA III and at other research centres could pave the way to a more universal understanding of chemistry and to novel applications, as the international research team, led by Prof. Artem Oganov of Stony Brook University (State University of New York) and Prof. Alexander Goncharov of Carnegie Institution, report in the scientific journal Science.
All good research breaks new ground, but rarely does the research unearth truths that challenge the foundation of a science. That’s what Artem R. Oganov has done, and the professor of theoretical crystallography in the Department of Geosciences will have his work published in the Dec. 20, 2013 issue of the journal Science.
Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Imperial College London are working to make the inefficient method of refrigeration and air conditioning - which has been relied on for over a hundred years - a thing of the past.
Soitec (Euronext Paris), a world leader in generating and manufacturing revolutionary semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, and CEA have renewed their long-standing and fruitful partnership for the next five years. This new contract aims to support Soitec's strategy for the electronics, solar energy and lighting markets. It will focus on engineered substrates and materials offering higher performances and energy savings at a competitive cost.
As is well known, the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. No rocks exist, however, that are older than about 3.8 billion years. A sedimentary rock section in the Jack Hills of western Australia, more than 3 billion years old, contains within it zircons that were eroded from rocks as old as about 4.3 billion years, making these zircons, called Jack Hills zircons, the oldest recorded geological material on the planet.
Physicists at the University of Chicago and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, are uncovering the fundamental physical laws that govern the behavior of cellular materials.
