A carbon-sequestering cementitious binder: Synergistic mechanisms of carbonated steel slag and carbonated carbide slag on hydration and strength development

The complementary use of carbonated carbide slag (CCS) and carbonated steel slag (CSS) enables substantial cement substitution, but their composition-driven hydration synergy remains unclear. In this study, CCS and CSS were incorporated individually and jointly into Portland ceme...

A Bioinspired Random Nanosheet Film for Broadband Spectral Modulation and Switchable Infrared Stealth

Efficient spectral modulation and photothermal management can significantly enhance the multifunctional integration of intelligent optical devices. However, the selective modulation ability of materials to the spectrum hinders their application in different scenarios or needs. He...

The New Type All‐Thin‐Film Electrochromic Devices: Separated‐Function Design for High‐Performance Intelligent VIS‐IR Multi‐Band Modulation

ABSTRACT Smart windows based on all‐thin‐film electrochromic devices (ECDs) with coordinated visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) modulation offer promising solutions for energy‐efficient buildings. However, conventional single‐layer ECDs often suffer from limited IR modulation, slugg...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Corner Cold-Bending Stresses in Laminated Insulating Glass: A Case Study

Cold-bent glass curtain walls have been widely adopted in landmark buildings due to their remarkable economic and low-carbon advantages. To investigate the stress state of insulated laminated glass under the corner cold-bending condition, this paper, based on glass samples from a...
