Plasmonic metal nanostructures (e.g., Au, Cu, Pt, Ru) have attracted considerable attention in photothermal catalysis due to their unique capabilities in light-field regulation and energy conversion.

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...

ABSTRACT: Early settlement collapses led us to stabilize earth bricks in the Mara region and make predictions in Toukra. This work demonstrates the improvement in the mechanical properties of earth ...

Researchers have developed a binder-free 3D printing method for MXene, enabling high-resolution microstructures with enhanced conductivity and electromagnetic shielding. MXene, first discovered in the ...

Abstract: In order to meet the demand for neutron detection in extreme environments with high temperature, high pressure, and strong radiation, different Schottky-type microstructure neutron detectors ...

The first figure of merit for environmental barrier coating (EBC) materials was designed through a ranking system for material properties pertaining to established EBC failure modes in service. Seven ...
