The material developed by the Brazilian team makes the most challenging stage of the process viable, the so-called &#8220;oxygen evolution reaction&#8221; (OER), allowing it to occur in less time and with less energy consumption. Formed by titanium niobate nanoparticles, the new catalyst is based on two elements abundant in Brazil: niobium, of which our country has the largest reserve in the world, and titanium. To optimize the material&#8217;s performance as an OER catalyst, the authors of the research carried out defect engineering work. To do this, they heated groups of nanoparticles to 950 \u00baC over different time intervals and tested the performance of each group. The sample calcined for 2 hours achieved the best performance in OER. <a style=\"color: #337ab7;\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/MSoqfxdhyx6\/2\/\"><b>Go to the paper.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]>\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;table-layout:fixed;word-wrap:break-word;\">\n\n\n<tr>\n\n\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;\"><![endif]--><\/p>\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" border=\"0\" width=\"560\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\"><a class=\"imgGl\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/CtvZScVkdmR\/1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dnzdns.com\/v\/gxCI5aABF0426\" alt=\"2\" width=\"560\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><\/td>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n\n\n<\/table>\n\n\n<![endif]--><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">A team of scientists from the Brazilian federal universities UFPE and UFV, along with a researcher from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, have made an important contribution to the development of orbitronics. Orbitronics is a new area of \u200b\u200bknowledge that seeks to use a quantum property related to how electrons orbit atomic nuclei (the orbital angular momentum) in order to develop information transport and storage technologies. In the new study, the authors conducted a series of experiments with metallic and semiconductor materials that demonstrated the generation and detection of orbital current. The results provide a basis for the development of devices that use orbital angular momentum as an efficient and versatile information carrier<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">. <\/span><\/span><\/span><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/CtvZScVkdmR\/2\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #0000ff; text-align: left;\"><b>Go to the paper.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]>\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;table-layout:fixed;word-wrap:break-word;\">\n\n\n<tr>\n\n\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;\"><![endif]--><\/p>\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" border=\"0\" width=\"560\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\"><a class=\"imgGl\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/KaNMMD3rDns\/1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dnzdns.com\/v\/4CtZ25ABTh_0417\" alt=\"3\" width=\"560\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><\/td>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n\n\n<\/table>\n\n\n<![endif]--><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">Superconducting materials hold promise for sustainable technologies with applications in sectors such as transportation, energy, health, and computing. In this review, a scientific team from the Brazilian universities UNESP and UFSCar, and institutions in Germany and Russia, used bibliometric tools to study the relationship between superconductivity and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The authors analyzed 33,756 articles on superconductors and their applications published between 1980 and 2025, focusing on the period of SDG implementation (from 2015 onwards). The analysis revealed that superconductivity research is still poorly represented in databases that classify scientific production according to the SDGs, such as the Web of Science. The results indicate that this low visibility is largely associated with the fact that the authors themselves do not usually use keywords or terms that link the field to the global effort towards a more sustainable society. <a style=\"color: #337ab7;\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/KaNMMD3rDns\/2\/\"><b>Go to the paper.<\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #336699; text-align: left;\"><b>XXIV B-MRS Meeting<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #336699; text-align: left;\">Curitiba (state of Paran\u00e1), September 27 to October 1st, 2026<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\"><!-- [if gte mso 9]>\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;table-layout:fixed;word-wrap:break-word;\">\n\n\n<tr>\n\n\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"560\" style=\"width:560px;\"><![endif]--><\/p>\n<table style=\"table-layout: fixed;\" border=\"0\" width=\"560\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\"><a class=\"imgGl\" href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/C803lhq-TUW\/1\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"vertical-align: top;\" src=\"https:\/\/dl.dnzdns.com\/v\/juYe4aABF0411\" alt=\"5\" width=\"560\" height=\"310\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><!-- [if gte mso 9]><\/td>\n\n\n<\/tr>\n\n\n<\/table>\n\n\n<![endif]--><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left; color: #666666; background-color: #ffffff; padding: 10px 20px;\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" width=\"100%\">\n<p style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #666666; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\"><b>Record number of submissions. <\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">For the first time, the B-MRS Meeting surpassed 3,000 submitted abstracts!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\"><b>Important upcoming dates.<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\"> Authors who need to modify their abstracts may submit the corrected versions until <b>June 12th<\/b> and will receive final approval notification on <b>June 26th<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">Program. <\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">Program at a glance is available,<\/span><b><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/sbplink.sbpmat.org.br\/cl\/PXGq8\/P0\/e4ec\/P2Y9rEKkvcC\/BLdP\/BQFnJrrLR1n\/1\/\">here<\/a>.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\">Registration.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: left;\"> The registration fee can now be paid with an early registration discount.
