This work investigates the creep damage behavior and life prediction of Bi-based brazing alloys and their corresponding joints under intermittent over-temperature conditions, and proposes an integrated real-time monitoring and analytical framework. T...

This study investigates the influence of Y2O3 content and sintering temperature on the microstructure, phase composition, and physico-mechanical properties of zirconia-based ceramics with Al2O3 addition. It was shown that varying the stabilizer conte...

Halogen bonds play an important role in the targeted generation of solid-state structures, with polyhalogenated compounds enabling the simultaneous formation of various interactions. In this manuscript, we investigate the interactions of dihalogenate...

Alkali-activated slag grouting materials exhibited excellent mechanical properties but still faced technical challenges such as insufficient fluidity and overly rapid setting. To enhance their workability, this study introduced fly ash as a modifying...

The chemical diffusion coefficients of oxygen (Dδ) for the oxides BaFe0.9Ce0.1O3−δ (BFC10), BaFe0.9Y0.1O3−δ (BFY10), and BaFe0.8Ce0.1Y0.1O3−δ (BFCY1010) were determined by the oxygen pressure relaxation metho...

Metallic materials are the workhorses of structural applications and remain central to modern engineering across energy, transportation, process equipment, and extreme-environment service [...]

The global transition toward sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions has placed research on electrolytes and energy storage materials at the heart of scientific and technological innovation [...]

Crystallization generally refers to the material processing in which a solid phase nucleates within a liquid or solid matrix [...]

Electromagnetic phase reconfigurability is a critical functionality for many emerging applications in electronics, defence, and other disruptive technologies. This work addresses a significant challenge in developing nematic liquid crystal (NLC)-base...

Integrating metasurface-based polarizing filters atop photodetectors enables the expansion of detection capabilities from intensity to polarization, offering significant potential for applications requiring high-precision discrimination in scientific...
