Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Spectromicroscopy Analysis of Chicken Egg Shells
ABSTRACT Chicken egg shells, taken from farm and backyard eggs of different suppliers from different regions in Brazil were collected for chemical/structural analysis, in order to try to find if there is a relation between egg shells composition and the type of production (farm or backyard), the egg shell color and the region of production.

Homo‐epitaxy and twinning produce complex nanostructures in cryogenic calcite
A transmission electron microscopy study of cryogenic calcite samples reveals the homo‐epitaxial intergrowths of {1120}//{1120}rotated, {0001}//{1100} and {1102}//{1108} interfaces, all being energetically favorable, along with their cooperation with {1014} twinning.Calcite is famous for the rich diversity of oriented crystal growths.

A setup for fielding high‐pressure samples contained in diamond anvil cells (DACs) at the LCLS X‐ray free electron laser is described and example powder X‐ray diffraction data are presented. Future prospects for experimental capabilities in DACs enabled by the LCLS, such as short pulse laser interactions and multiple pulse modes, are discussed.A novel ...

Structure and properties of (Nd,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 (NSAT) substrate crystals
An emerging cubic substrate material (Nd,Sr)(Al,Ta)O3 (NSAT) has been structurally and spectroscopically characterized revealing that the nominally cubic NSAT consists of partially developed cubic superstructure domains with doubled unit‐cell parameter.
