Graphical Abstract: DFT computations identify the effects that enable the synthesis of geometrically-strained epoxide from deprotonated halohydrins. These computations also explain the preference for the formation of larger cyclic ethers with five-atom rings over six-atom-rings. Increased temperature favors elimination over S_N2 only when the reacting moieties are part of separate molecules.

Graphical Abstract: The isothermal section of the La₂O₃–Lu₂O₃–Er₂O₃ phase diagram at 1250°C has the characteristic three one-phase fields (A-La₂O₃, R, C-Lu₂O₃(Er₂O₃)) corresponding to solid solutions based on starting components and two two-phase fields (C + R, A + R) between them.

Graphical Abstract: This paper discusses the notion of symmetry of polyatomic systems defined as invariance under transformations, and showes that this important property of atomic matter is extremely vulnerable, and may undergo internal breakdown, subject to the presence of electronic degeneracy or pseudodegeneracy. It is shown that electronic degeneracy and its extended form, called pseudodegeneracy, are actually the only source of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in nature, including all forms of matter, beginning with elementary particles, via nuclei, atoms, molecules, and solids. Theoretically, the vulnerability of the notion of symmetry is due to the fact that, following quantum mechanics, the separation of the motion of electrons and nuclei (and, similarly, the separation of motions of elementary particles) is approximate, and hence the classical notion of polyatomic space configuration is approximate too, with SSB as one of its main violation.

Graphical Abstract: Amorphous alloy are materials have been around for some time and their applications can be found in many types of industrial products. Currently, the production of the amorphous alloy Co69Nb25B6 was obtained by high-energy ball milling which allows the formation of phases through solid state reaction through consolidation process. In addition, the effects of a 21:1 powder to ball mass ratio were used and the milling time during high energy milling was crucial for the formation of the amorphous and ferromagnetic phases. The characterization of the Co69Nb25B6 alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and by a vibrating sample magnetometer.
