Laser Micropatterning of Archival Gold CDs: A Maskless Route to Low‑Cost Microelectrode Arrays and Beyond

ABSTRACT Archival gold compact discs provide a nanometrically smooth, clean, and highly conductive thin‐film gold surface—an exceptionally low‐cost alternative to gold‐coated silicon wafers—and thus an unexplored platform for next‐generation microdevices. Here, we introduce this...

Geotechnical performance of a two-row grout curtain in karstified limestone–marl: insights from stage-grouting and clay-filled discontinuities at Chamshir RCC Dam

Abstract Curtain grouting is widely applied for seepage control in dam foundations; however, quantitative performance assessment in heterogeneous karstified formations remains methodologically challenging. This study presents an integrated evaluation of a two-row grout curtain co...

Survival and biological and technical complications of veneered zirconia-ceramic versus metal-ceramic restorations: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to critically assess and compare the survival rates and the spectrum of biological and technical complications associated with veneered zirconia-ceramic versus metal-ceramic restorations. By synthesizing evidence from randomized clin...

Sleep of Things (SoT): A Neuro-Inspired Digital Twin Framework for Lifelong Memory Consolidation in Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are expected to operate safely, intelligently, and reliably in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Recent advances in artificial intelligence and Digital Twin (DT) technologies have significantly enhanced the perception, planning, and control capabil...

Hardware-validated hybrid super-twisting, fuzzy logic, and deep reinforcement learning framework for spacecraft attitude control

This study proposes a hardware-validated hybrid intelligent framework for spacecraft attitude control that integrates the super-twisting sliding-mode algorithm (STA), Type-1/Type-2 fuzzy logic control (FLC), and deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Fourteen controller configuration...

Geochemical and Isotopic Constraints on the Origin of the Early Palaeozoic Chah‐Nar Pb–Zn Deposit, Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (Iran)

ABSTRACT The Chah‐Nar Pb–Zn deposit in the southern Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone, Iran, represents Early Palaeozoic stratiform sulfide mineralization hosted by organic‐rich volcano‐sedimentary rocks deposited in a Proto‐Tethyan back‐arc basin. Despite the occurrence of stratiform Pb–Zn m...
