Copper Electroplated TPMS Polymer Lattices for Lightweight Absorption Dominant Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

ABSTRACT Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattice architectures are promising for lightweight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding due to their high surface area, interconnected geometry, and tunable relative density. In this study, Schoen‐Gyroid, Schwarz‐Diamond, a...

Quantum scattering of hot H/D on CO2: Cross sections and rate coefficients for planetary atmospheres and their evolution

Abstract Collisions between hot hydrogen atoms and CO2 play a central role in energy transfer and atmospheric escape in CO2-rich planetary atmospheres. We present quantum mechanical jz-conserving coupled-states calculations of state-resolved cross sections for H/D–CO2 collisions...

Resolving Host-Associated Antimicrobial Resistance in Municipal Wastewater Using Hi-C Metagenomics

Conventional wastewater metagenomics enables population-level surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) but provides limited insight into the bacterial hosts, genomic context, and the mobility of resistance determinants. In this study, we applied high-throughput chromosome c...

Upcycling Agro-Food Industrial Biomass Waste into Functional Activated Carbon for Selective CO2 Capture and Supercapacitor Applications

Abstract Activated carbon (AC) materials were developed via a single-step method from three different biowaste sources and tailored for application in carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and electrochemical energy storage, combining the concept of biowaste valorisation with sustainable...

A critical review of BFRP-Reinforced concrete beam performance: failure mechanisms, design considerations, code provisions, and experimental–numerical correlations

Basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars are a non-metallic, sustainable alternative to conventional steel reinforcement, offering corrosion resistance, a high strength-to-weight ratio, and enhanced durability in aggressive environments. This paper presents a review of BFRP-re...

N6-Methyladenosine and 5-Methylcytosine Epitranscriptomic Regulation of Male Reproduction and Fertility

Functional spermatozoa production depends on spermatogenesis, a complex developmental process that requires precise regulation of gene expression at multiple levels. Although considerable progress has been made in understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms govern...

Macrocyclic ligands as corrosion inhibitors: Macrocyclic effects, host-guest chemistry, coordination and complexation with metal surfaces and ions

The increasing demand for durable and efficient corrosion inhibitors has intensified interest in macrocyclic ligands as an emerging class of tunable corrosion inhibitors. Several salient features, including macrocyclic effect, host-guest recognition, preorganized multidentate coo...

Moringa fruit shell derived carbon-hydrogel functional composite for sustainable pharmaceutical remediation and triboelectric energy harvesting

Sub-diffraction far-field dark-field nanoscopy via low-index microlens and deep learning

Far-field imaging methods capable of resolving samples beyond the diffraction limit of light are essential for understanding the intricate details of molecular interactions in physical chemistry and biophysics. Here, we demonstrate the use of low-index microspheres to enhance the...

Predicting time-to-progression in Alzheimer’s disease using artificial intelligence for survival analysis models: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) for survival analysis models are increasingly used to predict Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression, yet their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. This review evaluates the performance of ML and DL for survival analysis models ac...

Detailed energy analysis of a structure coupled with linear absorber or nonlinear energy sink under seismic ground motion

Abstract The performance of linear and nonlinear vibration absorbers is usually quantified by the percentage of energy transfer and dissipation by the absorber damping content. However, in the case of continuous energy input into the structure like seismic ground motion, the amou...
