How did the guppy Y chromosome evolve?
The sex chromosome pairs of many species do not undergo genetic recombination, unlike the autosomes. It has been proposed that the suppressed recombination results from natural selection favouring close linkage between...

A reliable technique to fabricate superconducting joints between single grain, Y–Ba–Cu–O bulk superconductors
Abstract: The production of large (RE)Ba–Cu–O single grains ((RE)BCO), where RE = Y, Gd or Sm, of complex geometries is presently limited by the intrinsic slowness of the grain growth process. Additionally, the shapes achievable...
