An exploratory investigation into the behavior of materials with desirable electric properties resulted in the discovery of a structural phase of two-dimensional (2D) materials. The new family of materials are electrides, wherein electrons occupy a space usually reserved for atoms or ions instead of orbiting the nucleus of an atom or ion. The stable, low-energy, tunable materials could have potential applications in nanotechnologies.
Nearly a quarter of the world's population is estimated to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), the pathogen that causes tuberculosis, but.
Hosted by the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET), the inaugural
Global Congress for Linear Infrastructure and Environment (GCLIE) will take place virtually over a two-day period: 20 & 21 September 2021, preceding the 2021 ICOET conference.
The first GCLIE will set a foundation for the understanding of transportation and environmental issues across continents, exploring the similarities and differences to inform meaningful dialogue and influence positive change on the global stage. GCLIE will compliment and coordinate the work of the five existing continental conferences by focusing on big ideas and intense dialogue to encourage high-level contributions to environmental preservation and long-term sustainability with a global reach.
