Quantum dots (QDs) play a fundamental role in nanotechnology because of their unique optical properties, especially photoluminescence (PL). Quantum confinement effects combined with tailor-made materials make QDs extremely versatile for understanding...

The extensive usage of concrete and ordinary Portland cement has generated 5~8% of annual global CO2 emissions, causing serious environmental problems. To reduce such environmental impact, researchers have made significant efforts to develop alternat...

Photosensitive glasses for radiation-induced 3D microstructuring, due to their optical transparency and thermal, mechanical, and chemical resistance, enable the use of new strategies for numerous microscale applications, ranging from optics to biomed...

Governments worldwide are actively committed to achieving their carbon emission reduction targets, and one avenue under exploration is harnessing the potential of hydrogen. Blending hydrogen with natural gas is emerging as a promising strategy to red...

Over the last few years, research activities have seen two-dimensional (2D) materials become protagonists in the field of nanotechnology. In particular, 2D materials characterized by ferroelectric properties are extremely interesting, as they are bet...

Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical coupling between the electric field and the mechanical strain gradient, as well as between the mechanical strains and the electric field gradient, observed in all dielectric materials, including those with cen...

This paper presents the study of a two-hundred-year-old, demolded solid clay brick using the rebound hammer test for the estimation of the compressive strength. During the test, the location and face type influence on the rebound values are monitored...

Various food supplements for silicon uptake were compared in terms of their structures and chemical compositions. In particular, we analyzed the silanol group content, which can be an indicator of the uptake of the siliceous species in the human body...

Iron-containing nickel sulfides, selenides, and sulfoselenides were synthesized via a simple two-step hydrothermal reaction (temperature ≤ 160 °C) for their application as electrocatalysts in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline...

This study investigates the electrical characteristics observed in n-channel and p-channel ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) devices fabricated through a similar process flow with 10 nm of ferroelectric hafnium zirconium oxide (HZO) as th...
