Summary: The recent observation of room-temperature superconductivity is expected to drive the discovery of new, dense, hydrogen-rich materials, including rare earth metal superhydrides. A study reported the synthesis of a yttrium superhydride that exhibits superconductivity at a critical temperature of 262 K at 182 ± 8 GPa, with the assistance of a palladium thin film. It was found that the phonon-mediated superconductivity is established by the observation of zero resistance, an isotope effect, and the reduction of T-c under an external magnetic field, with the upper critical magnetic field at 103 T at zero temperature.

Summary: By using a photo assisted method, Y single atoms were successfully anchored onto cesium lead halide perovskite NCs, resulting in Y-SA/CsPbBr3 NCs with excellent fluorescence stability. Compared to bare CsPbBr3 NCs, Y-SA/CsPbBr3 NCs exhibit more stable optical characteristics. The synthesized Y-SA/CsPbBr3 NCs can be used as a colorimetric platform for rapid CH3I sensing, with a detection limit of 0.044 ppm and excellent anti-interference performance.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
