Atomic clusters exhibit properties that fall between those found for individual atoms and bulk solids. Small boron clusters exhibit planar and quasiplanar structures, which are novel materials envisioned to serve as a platform for designing nanodevic...

Rice husk ash is a kind of biomass material. Its main component is silicon dioxide, with a content of up to 80%. It has high pozzolanic activity and can react with hydroxide in cement. When treating rice husks, rice husk ash with high volcanic ash ac...

The development of carbon-based supercapacitors is pivotal for advancing high energy and power density applications. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of structural regulation and performance enhancement strategies in carbon-based superca...

Biopolymers represent a significant class of materials with potential applications in skin care due to their beneficial properties. Resveratrol is a natural substance that exhibits a range of biological activities, including the scavenging of free ra...

Large-scale engineering projects frequently involve pit excavation and wetland landfill operations, resulting in significant silt accumulation that occupies land and adversely affects the environment. Curing technology offers a solution for reusing t...

Geopolymer, as a promising inorganic binding material, holds potential for use in constructing base layers for highway pavements. This study aims to evaluate the mechanical properties of geopolymer-stabilized macadam (GSM) at both the micro- and macr...

The constitutive model was commonly used to describe the flow stress of materials under specific strain, strain rate, and temperature conditions. In order to study the thermal–mechanical behavior of DH460 continuous casting steel during the sol...

The objective of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of twelve compositions based on hemp shiv and four traditional binders used in the construction industry: cement, plaster, hydrated lime and clay, with the aim of using the resulting mater...

Hydrogen has emerged as a prominent candidate for future energy sources, garnering considerable attention. Given its explosive nature, the efficient detection of hydrogen (H2) in the environment using H2 sensors is paramount. Chemoresistive H2 sensor...

The issues of numerous steel beam components and the tendency for deck cracking under negative bending moment zones have long been challenges faced by traditional composite I-beams with flat steel webs. This study introduces an optimized approach by...
