Most homes have used either camphor or naphthalene balls at some point. You open an old cupboard, and that sharp, familiar smell hits you instantly. Clothes stored for months. Corners no one checks ...

Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) enable organisms to survive in freezing environments by controlling ice growth, yet the relationship between their structure and function remains poorly understood. We ...

A subzero ice recrystallization route creates multimetal high entropy aerogels and coatings with uniform element mixing, offering a low temperature path to porous macroscopic alloy structures.

Biopreservation is a process by which the degradation of biologics is suppressed to enable the recovery of structure, viability, and function. Cryopreservation is the most common method for long-term ...

Abstract: A direct thrust measurement of an electrothermal radio-frequency (RF) plasma thruster, also known as a Pocket-Rocket, using naphthalene as a propellant, is experimentally performed.

Quantum-dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) have shown great potential in display and lighting applications. In particular, the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) as the electron ...

Within the framework of carbon neutrality, the use of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is rising along with the growth of the green and clean energy sector. However, the extensive application of LIBs with ...

Abstract: A fully recrystallized microstructure with a fine grain size can improve the performance of superconducting radio-frequency cavities produced from high-purity Nb (ASTM B393–18 Type 5 Nb) ...
