TL;DR: The Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) as discussed by the authors is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model.

TL;DR: This tutorial review paper deals with a special class of nanocomposites, i.e. polymer-derived ceramic nanocomPOSites (PDC-NCs), which have been shown to be promising materials for various structural and functional applications and different preparative approaches for these materials as well as some of their properties are presented and discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current state of the art concerning the synthesis, processing, and various structural and functional properties of silicon-oxycarbide-based glasses and glass-ceramics is done.

TL;DR: Prospective applications of the PDC-NCs such as high-temperature stable materials for thermal protection systems, membranes for hot gas separation purposes, materials for heterogeneous catalysis, nano-confinement materials for hydrogen storage applications as well as anode materials for secondary ion batteries are introduced and discussed in detail.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure of polymer derived silicon oxycarbide ceramics (SiOC-PDCs) with widely different carbon contents have been studied at different length scales using high-resolution 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopic techniques.
