Multi-AI agent framework reveals the “oxide gatekeeper” in aluminum nanoparticle oxidation

Aluminum nanoparticles (ANPs) are among the most energy-dense solid fuels, yet the atomic mechanisms governing their transition from passivated particles to highly reactive states remain elusive. This stems from a fundamental computational bottleneck: Ab initio methods offer quan...

Development of scalable cross-flow purification process for transparent conductive film quality silver nanowires

Silver nanowires (Ag NWs) exhibit high conductivity and excellent light transmittance, making them suitable for use in flexible displays, touch panels, and solar cells. However, Ag NWs synthesized using methods such as the polyol process contain a significant number of silver nan...

Host–Dopant Engineering of Ce 4+ ‐Dominant Y 3 (Al,Ga) 5 O 12 :Ce,Mg Scintillators for High‐Performance X‐Ray Imaging

ABSTRACT Fast scintillators are essential for advanced X‐ray imaging and time‐of‐flight techniques. Although stabilizing Ce 4+ ions in garnet hosts is an effective strategy for suppressing the afterglow and accelerating scintillation, it often introduces quenching pathways that r...
