Due to an oversight by the journal’s Editorial Office, the Supplementary Materials were not published alongside the original article [...]

Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors have the advantages of high detection efficiency and good energy resolution, which are widely used in the fields of X-ray detection, environmental monitoring and nuclear radiation detection. The Frisch grid stru...

This study examines the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms of hot-forged 304L stainless steel for cryogenic applications such as LNG storage and low-temperature structural systems. Tensile testing revealed a significant strength increase...

The research and related tests aimed to investigate the effect of different heat inputs on the microstructure and properties of the joint when using laser-backing welding for X80 steel, with the purpose of guiding a reasonable adjustment of heat inpu...

Portland cement is a critical material widely used in the construction industry, where its crystallization and microstructure are key factors determining its physical and mechanical properties. This study investigated the effect of sulfur on the crys...

A single crystal of YAl3(BO3)4 was grown using the top-seeded solution growth method. The vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation spectrum, monitored at the emission wavelength of 312 and 372 nm, showed a narrow excitation band at around 162 nm, which is...

Based on the finite element method, the modulation of the bending wave bandgap and bending waveguide of locally resonant phononic crystal (PnC) plates via a thermal environment is investigated. First, the finite element model of the PnC subjected to...

The study of solid–liquid equilibria in small molecules such as l-tryptophan (l-Trp), which possesses an α-amino group, an α-carboxylic acid group, and an indole compound, presents significant challenges. This research introduces se...

Metal inert gas (MIG) brazing was used to join galvanized thin sheets with thicknesses in the range of 0.8 to 2 mm in a lap joint configuration using CuAl8 wire as filler. The process was used to manufacture built-up cold-formed steel beams composed...

In potassium ion electrode materials, MXenes have garnered significant attention in the energy storage field due to their high conductivity and complex surface chemistry. In this work, thiourea was used as a nitrogen–sulfur composite precursor,...
