Recent progress on the new nickel-based thermocouples for high-temperature applications developed at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy in the University of Cambridge is described in this paper. Isothermal drift at temperatures above 1000 °C as a function of the thermocouple diameter has been studied for both conventional nickel-based thermocouples and the new nickel-based thermocouple. The new nickel-based thermocouple experiences a much reduced drift compared to conventional sensors. Tests in thermal cyclic conditions have been undertaken on conventional and new nickel-based thermocouples, showing a clear improvement for the new sensors at temperatures both higher and lower than 1000 °C. The improvements achievable with the new nickel-based thermocouple in both isothermal and thermal cycling conditions suggest that the new sensor can be used at high temperatures, where current conventional sensors are not reliable, as well as at temperatures lower than 1000 °C with improved performance compared to the conventional sensors.

Recent progress in materials science and nanotechnology has led to the development of advanced materials with multifunctional properties. Dental medicine has benefited from the design of such materials and coatings in providing patients with tailored implants and improved materials for restorative and functional use. Such materials and coatings allow for better acceptance by the host body, promote successful implantation and determine a reduced inflammatory response after contact with the materials. Since numerous dental pathologies are influenced by the presence and activity of some pathogenic microorganisms, novel materials are needed to overcome this challenge as well. This paper aimed to reveal and discuss the most recent and innovative progress made in the field of materials surface modification in terms of microbial attachment inhibition and biofilm formation, with a direct impact on dental medicine.

Graphene is one of the most favorite materials for materials science research owing to its distinctive chemical and physical properties, such as superior conductivity, extremely larger specific surface area, and good mechanical/chemical stability with the flexible monolayer structure. Graphene is considered as a supreme matrix and electron arbitrator of semiconductor nanoparticles for environmental pollution remediation. The present review looks at the recent progress on the graphene-based metal oxide and ternary composites for photocatalysis application, especially for the application of the environmental remediation. The challenges and perspectives of emerging graphene-based metal oxide nanocomposites for photocatalysis are also discussed.
