Compression of morbidity by interventions that steepen the survival curve
Nature CommunicationsLongevity research aims to extend the healthspan while minimizing the duration of disability and morbidity, known as the sickspan. Most longevity interventions in model organisms extend healthspan, but it is not known whether they compress sickspan ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the fundamental mechanisms of a novel postweld treatment that significantly enhances fatigue performance through engineered residual stress (RS) states. A multiscale approach correlates tensile RS in the nanometallic multilayer coating with corresponding compressive RS in the steel substrate, thereby reducing localized stress ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The thermal diffusivity of MgO‐C refractories is highly sensitive to sample preparation and processing procedures. In this article, the effects of coking sequence, machining conditions, structural inhomogeneity, and graphite coating application on measurements using laser flash apparatus are systematically investigated.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Graded refractive index (GRI) structures are prepared from the layer‐by‐layer spray coating of the mesoporous SiO2 nanoparticles, showing high solar transparency and thermal emissivity. Under outdoor conditions, after 50 days, the GRI‐coated photovoltaics show on average 6.65 ± 1.48 °C lower than that of the non‐coated references, maintaining 80.9 ± 8 ...
