Still, Mr. Giuliani soldiered on, grinning widely and promising the faithful at each stop that he would work to keep them safe from terrorists and high taxes and rising property insurance rates, and increasingly mentioning what has emerged in recent days as a new pledge: to send an astronaut to Mars.
The new president, Jacques Santer, was widely mocked for promising to "do less, but better".
V VI compounds have been widely investigated as promising thermoelectric materials for room temperature refrigeration.
In the past three decades, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and its nanocomposites have been widely investigated as promising photocatalysts [1-4].
Thus, nanobiomaterials have been widely investigated as promising alternative materials for various biomedical and tissue engineering applications.
Nickel-rich metal oxides have been widely pursued as promising cathode materials for high energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
Functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been widely investigated as promising multifunctional nanosystems for the theragnosis of lung cancer, the most common and prominent cause of cancer death worldwide.
In last decade, nano-sized transition-metal oxides have been widely studied as promising anodes for Laser-Induced Break-down Spectroscopy's since they were first reported by Tarascon et al. [5, 6].
As a key building block, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with a nano-floating gate are widely used and promising structures to store digital information stably in a memory cell.
In this paper, principles of operation, characteristics, and fabrication process of some of the most popular, widely investigated, and promising thin film devices, including this film transistors, light-emitting diodes, solar cells (SCs), thermoelectric devices, sensors, actuators, and smart materials, were critically reviewed.
Transition metal oxides (MO) have been widely investigated as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, but suffer from the problems of irreversible capacity loss and poor cycling stability resulting from intrinsic poor conductivity, large volume expansion/contraction during the discharge/charge processes.
