Recent trends in non-faradaic supercapacitor electrode materials

Metallic 1T phase MoS2 nanosheets as supercapacitor electrode materials.

Efficient intercalation of ions in layered materials forms the basis of electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries and capacitors. Recent research has focused on the exfoliation of layered materials and then restacking the two-dimensional exfoliated nanosheets to form electrodes with enhanced electrochemical response. Here, we show that chemically exfoliated nanosheets of MoS2 con...

Recent Trends in Academic Library Materials Expenditures

LIBRARY EXPENDITURES HAVE INCREASED faster than inflation over the last six years. Ironically, libraries are losing ground economically in several key areas. How can this be? Claims on the library dollarnot only unit prices but the full spectrum of library budgetary demands-are growing even faster than the library budget. Not only have the prices of monographs and serials increased, but journal...

Recent global trends in structural materials research

Hideyuki Murakami, Takahito Ohmura and Toshiyuki Nishimura National Institute for Materials Science, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan Structural materials support the basis of global society, such as infrastructure and transportation facilities, and are therefore essential for everyday life. The optimization of such materials allows people to overcome environmental, energy and resource depletion issues ...

Recent Trends in Archaeological Theory: Some Comments

 This paper selectively reviews some recent themes in archaeological theory:  a philosophical pragmatism, a turn to materiality, and understanding the past in the context of the present.  It concludes with some reflective comments on the author’s Archaeological Theory:  An Introduction, in advance of the third revised edition.
