Cover Feature: Bis(1,2,4‐oxadiazolyl) Furoxan: A Promising Melt‐Castable Eutectic Material of Low Sensitivity (ChemPlusChem 4/2019)

Cover Feature Outlook

Cover Feature Physiological Computing

Brain−computer interfaces (BCIs) hold great promise for improving information delivery and preserving user attention, but this promise has not yet translated to practical use. A prototype BCI that optimizes email notifications in noisy, complex environments, CARSON combines multiple measures from the brain to predict both cognitive workload and message relevancy to determine the optimum time to...

Cover Feature Big Data

Today’s applications often contain datasets that are too big to fit in a single computer’s main memory. Analyzing these massive datasets will require scalable and sophisticated machine-learning methods. Two commonly used approaches are stochastic optimization and inference algorithms,1 which process one data point at a time; and distributed computing based on the MapReduce framework,2 where the...

A Promising New Class of High-Temperature Alloys: Eutectic High-Entropy Alloys

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) can have either high strength or high ductility, and a simultaneous achievement of both still constitutes a tough challenge. The inferior castability and compositional segregation of HEAs are also obstacles for their technological applications. To tackle these problems, here we proposed a novel strategy to design HEAs using the eutectic alloy concept, i.e. to achieve ...
