The SARS-CoV-2 epidemics outbreak has shocked global financial markets, inducing policymakers to put in place unprecedented interventions to inject liquidity and to counterbalance the negative impact on worldwide financial systems. Through the lens of statistical physics, we examine the financial volatility of the reference stock and bond markets of the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany and Italy to quantify the effects of country-specific socio-economic and political announcements related to the epidemics. Main results show that financial markets exhibit heterogeneous behaviours towards news on the epidemics, with the Italian and German bond markets responding with major delays to shocks. Additionally, credit markets tend to be slower than equity markets in adjusting prices after shocks, hence being slower at incorporating the effects of such news.

Low-iridium acid-stabilized electrocatalysts for efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are crucial for the market deployment of proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis. Manipulating the in situ reconstruction of Ir-based catalysts with favorable kinetics is highly desirable but remains elusive. Herein, we propose an atomic ordering strategy to modulate the dynamic surface restructuring of catalysts to break the activity/stability trade-off.

Potassium-iodine batteries show great promise as alternatives for next-generation battery technology, owing to their high power density and environmental sustainability. Nevertheless, they suffer from polyiodide dissolution and the multistep electrode fabrication process, which leads to severe performance degradation and limitations in mass-market adoption. Herein, we report a simple "solution-adsorption" strategy for scale-up production of TiC(OH)-wrapped carbon nanotube paper (CNP), as an economic host for strengthening the iodine encapsulation.

This paper investigates the informational efficiency of green bond markets using a recently introduced quantitative measure for market inefficiency. The paper finds that, first, the degree of inefficiency of the green bond market is very similar to that of benchmark bond markets; in addition, fundamental factors that drive bond prices in general also drive prices for green bonds. The green bond market, however, is less affected by challenging environments such as the COVID outbreak in 2020 and the inflation shock in 2022/2023 than the benchmark markets.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have become the cutting-edge technology in the display market. However, compared with green and red stacks, blue stacks still remain an obstacle for OLED technology. There seems to be an "impossible trinity" between efficiency, stability, and color-purity for blue OLEDs.
