Pore-engineered mesoporous silica nanocarriers for sustainable, stimuli-responsive corrosion-inhibitor release

Corrosion of metallic materials, particularly in heritage structures and concrete-based infrastructures, remains a persistent challenge, necessitating protection strategies that are effective, long-lasting, environmentally sustainable, and compatible with heterogeneous substrates...

Structural study of archaic orichalcum ingots from gela (sicily) via time-of-flight neutron diffraction

Abstract Orichalcum is a precious copper-zinc alloy known from ancient Mediterranean contexts. Eighty ingots of Orichalcum were recovered underwater near Gela (Sicily, Italy) and they are dated back to the 6th century BCE establishing a unicum in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, 11 s...

Technique Analysis of Filter-Clogging Particulate Matter in Eddy Covariance Systems in a Volcanic Environment

The eddy covariance (EC) technique is a key tool in environmental monitoring, enabling continuous and non-invasive measurement of carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes at the ecosystem–atmosphere interface. In environments characterized by high levels of airborne particulates, such as volc...
