In this work, we venture to show how careful use of a program for quantum chemical calculations (such as VASP) may enrich teaching in solid-state chemistry and how principles of thermodynamics contribute to a validation of phase diagrams and reaction pathways using the quasiternary system Li[subscript 2]O-Al[subscript 2]O[subscript…

In this article, we explore three Daoist concepts in East Asian historical and cultural contexts, addressing Daoism and its educational significance in connecting with new materialism theory.
