Cement is one of the most widely used structural materials and serves as the primary component of concrete. Among the various types, Portland cement is the most commonly utilized due to its excellent strength and corrosion resistance. Recently, effor...

Crystallography, a cornerstone of materials science, provides critical insights into material structures through techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD). Among the metrics derived from XRD, intensity serves as a key parameter, reflecting the elect...

The nano-architecture of titanium oxide is a key element of a wide range of applications, mainly optical and catalytic activities. Therefore, the current study focuses on engineering and designing three interesting nanostructures of titanium oxides:...

Semiconductors characterized by ultrawide bandgaps (UWBGs), exceeding the SiC bandgap of 3.2 eV and the GaN bandgap of 3.4 eV, are currently under focus for applications in high-power and radio-frequency (RF) electronics, as well as in deep-ultraviol...

Serial crystallography (SX) enables the determination of biologically relevant structures at room temperature while minimizing radiation damage. During SX experiments, the beam center on diffraction images can shift due to X-ray beam movements or det...

CuMn1−xMgxO2 (x = 0–0.06) polycrystalline samples were prepared using the hydrothermal method at T = 100 °C for 24 h in Teflon-line stainless steel autoclaves. The samples were crystallized, forming crednerite structures (C2/m space g...

As part of crystal growth experiments on transition metal oxidotellurates using chemical vapor transport reactions or hydrothermal conditions, single crystals of NiIITeVIO4 and CuIITeIV2O5 were obtained for the first time in the form of new modificat...

This review summarizes the application of two-dimensional metal–organic framework (2D MOF) nanostructures and their composites in the detoxification of chemical warfare agents (CWAs). Two-dimensional MOFs, characterized by their high specific s...

The double-arrow hollow cylinder (DAHC) has excellent mechanical properties under axial compression loads due to its negative Poisson ratio structure. To improve finite element simulation efficiency for parameter optimization analysis, an automatic m...

Due to the lack of effective utilization, fly ash and red mud accumulate in large quantities and cause serious harm to the environment. In this experiment, a low-cost preparation of foamed ceramics was realized by applying the foaming agent addition...
