Masan High-Tech Materials (MHT), a subsidiary of Vietnam-based conglomerate Masan Group, has signed definitive agreements to establish a strategic alliance with Japan’s Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (MMC). to develop a high-tech tungsten materials platform.

By incorporating four kinds of tungsten-based polyoxometallate (POM) clusters into the synthetic system of MoO₃ during the nucleation step, the Tsinghua research team successfully prepared four kinds of super-flexible hybrid sub-nanobelt superstructures (HSNSs). When the size of nanomaterials reduces to the sub-1 nm scale, benefiting from size-induced mechanical flexibility and nearly 100% exposure of surface atoms, some new physical and chemical phenomena emerge, such as flexibility and polymer-like rheology.

2D materials such as few-layer MoS₂ and WS₂ have raise concerns due to their unique atomic thickness layered structure and photoelectric properties. As they have visible light bandgap characteristics that are not available in the earliest discovered two-dimensional material-graphene, they are important for the development of future optoelectronic devices.

First Quantum Minerals Ltd (FQM) of Canada announced the reserves of its Taca Taca copper/moly/gold mine project in Salta Province, Argentina. FQM is a global copper company. It produces copper in the form of concentrate, cathode, and anode, and has inventories of nickel, gold and cobalt. The company operates long-life mines in several countries and employs approximately 20,000 people worldwide.

The application of cesium tungsten bronze in tumor diagnosis and treatment has been developed recently. It is reported that the research group of Professor Liu Shaoqin from the Micro and Nano Technology Research Center of the Institute of Basic and Interdisciplinary Science of Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) has studied the application of cesium tungsten bronze nanoparticles in tumor diagnosis and treatment. Results show that the nanoparticles can well achieve the dual anti-tumor effect of photothermal and photodynamic, as well as achieve visual monitoring.
