Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Discovering Shared Design Heritage for Semiconductor‐Based Gamma‐Ray Spectrometers: From CdTe to Metal Halide Perovskites

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Decades of CdTe and CdZnTe gamma‐ray spectrometer development define core design principles for room‐temperature semiconductor detectors. This Review highlights how metal halide perovskites rapidly assimilate these principles, particularly through defect and compositional engineering strategies that establish favorable spectroscopic conditions for ...

Performance of Glass Fiber Composites With Plastic‐Waste Pyrolysis Char as Filler

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Valorisation of mixed plastic waste into carbonaceous char via pyrolysis, its integration as a microfiller in epoxy/E‐glass (GFRP) laminates, and characterisation to assess composite performance as a function of filler loading. ABSTRACT Plastic pyrolysis offers circular solutions for mixed plastic waste but leaves a carbonaceous char that is often ...

Ballistic Performance Evaluation of Aluminium Plate Impact by Fragment Simulating Projectile

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020
Abstract The ballistic performance has drawn attention to researchers from a military background. They intend to provide solutions to ensure the soldiers in the front line of war do not kill in action. A casualty in war can lead to depression among soldiers and not to mention to their family as well.

Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...
