A ruthenium-substituted polyoxometalate as an inorganic dioxygenase for activation of molecular oxygen
Article Abstract:
Alkenes expoxidation is an important reaction and is traditionally undertaken using organic peracids as epoxidizing reagents, or through intramolecular etherification. Catalytic epoxidation with alkyl hydroperoxides and hydrogen peroxide has been developed due to safety and environmental concerns. The use of polyoxemetalate as a catalyst for alkene epoxidation is described.

Atomic-beam alignment of inorganic materials for liquid-crystal displays
Article Abstract:
The development of a new manufacturing process for liquid crystal displays is described. A non-contact process uses low-energy ion beams to align liquid crystals, which is cleaner and more efficient than the traditional rubbing process.

Spontaneous formation of inorganic helices
Article Abstract:
Stable helices have been demonstrated for the first time formed spontaneously in uniform sols of manganese oxide materials. These inorganic helices are excellent semiconductors, and it is possible to vary their composition.
