The design of stable adsorbents capable of selectively capturing dioxygen with a high reversible capacity is a crucial goal in functional materials development. Drawing inspiration from biological O 2 carriers, we demonstrate that coupling metal-based
Piezoelectric crystals in the langasite family can serve as a basis for resonant acoustic sensors that operate at temperatures exceeding the range of conventional piezoelectric resonators, but their performance is limited by acoustic loss at elevated
