Recently, natural zeolites have emerged as promising solutions in the renewable energy sector, offering sustainable solutions and finding applications in several areas. Among them, clinoptilolite stands out for its unique physicochemical properties, low cost, and natural abundanc...

Nature-Based Solutions for Mediterranean Coastal Adaptation: Bridging Ecosystem Processes and Resilience Through LIFE Project Implementation

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are increasingly recognised as effective approaches for enhancing coastal resilience while simultaneously supporting biodiversity, ecosystem services, and, where appropriate, climate-change mitigation. Their importance is particularly evident in the M...

Beam steering and radiation generation of electrons in bent crystals in the sub-GeV domain

Abstract We present an investigation into beam steering and radiation emission by sub-GeV electrons traversing a bent silicon crystal. Using 855, 600, and 300 MeV electron beams at the Mainz Microtron (MAMI), we explored orientational coherent effects in a 15- $$\upmu $$ <mml:mat...
