Abstract Increasing demand for energy and emphasis on environmental sustainability has started to revolutionize the existing energy infrastructure within the built...

International audience; Although the cement industry emits around 6% of global CO2 emissions, most global Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) barely represent this industrial...

ABSTRACT:Tribocorrosion is an important phenomenon encountered in many practical engineering situations, resulting in accelerated materials degradation and serious economic...

In this letter, we show that the use of nanocrystals enables new insights into the scaling law of crack patterns. Directional and isotropic crack patterns made of γ-Fe2O3...

The ability to synthesize VO2 in the form of single-crystalline nanobeams and nano- and microcrystals uncovered a number of previously unknown aspects of the metal−insulator...

This investigation focuses on deformation-induced plasticity in Invar-type steel alloys. The effect is being studied in an austenitic model alloy, containing 30 wt-% of nickel....

The influence of plastic deformation of low-carbon steel on birefringence of the shear waves birefringence is examined. Acoustic measurements show that the birefringence changes...

High stability and low settling rate of phosphate fines in water suspensions encountered the dry area-located mines with serious environmental and technical challenges. The best...

ABSTRACTComposite pellet processes, such as ITmk3, are reported to have lower environmental emissions and increased energy efficiency compared to the blast furnace route. This...

A Au particle-on-wire system that can be used as a specific, sensitive, and multiplex DNA sensor is developed. A pattern formed by multiple Au nanowire sensors provides...

Here we report on the visible luminescence properties of individual spherical gold particles in solution, obtained by two-photon excited fluorescence correlation spectroscopy...

With the increasing demand for green energy, the cheap tea waste is recycled to produce three-dimensional framework of porous carbon nanosheets materials with commercial value...

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris agreement target a global cleaner energy transition with wider adaptation, poverty reduction and climate resilience...

The spatial distribution of defect-related and band-edge luminescence from GaN nanowires grown by metal−organic chemical vapor deposition was studied by spatially resolved...

Genetics Databases By Martin J. Bishop. San Diego, CA: Academic Press (1999). 295 pp. $49.95Biological research is now significantly influenced by the burgeoning amount of...

In pedestrian–vehicle crashes, head injuries cause death and long-term disability. Thus, understanding the head kinematics is vital. Head rotation data are scarce, and the...

Optimal design and operation of multi-energy systems involving seasonal energy storage are often hindered by the complexity of the optimization problem. Indeed, the description...

The construction sector faces the challenge of mitigating climate change with urgency. Life cycle assessment (LCA), a widely used tool to assess the climate impacts of...

We demonstrate that a monolayer graphene membrane is impermeable to standard gases including helium. By applying a pressure difference across the membrane, we measure both the...

Scattering mechanisms in graphene are critical to understanding the limits of signal-to-noise-ratios of unsuspended graphene devices. Here we present the four-probe low...
