Assessing the Impact of Catastrophic Electricity Loss on the Food Supply Chain
International Journal of Disaster Risk ScienceThe food supply chain’s heavy reliance on electricity poses significant vulnerabilities in the event of prolonged and widespread power disruptions. This study introduces a system-dynamics model that integrates five critical infrastructures—electric grid,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) to overcome interface instability in high‐energy‐density lithium metal batteries has been developed. By enhancing ionic conductivity, mechanical elasticity, and adhesion strength through all‐material UV‐crosslinking, the SPE ensures uniform lithium‐ion flow and stable performance—even after bending or cutting ...

From Satellite Imagery to Disaster Insights [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The use of satellite imagery has become increasingly popular for disaster monitoring and response. After a disaster, it is important to prioritize rescue operations, disaster response and coordinate relief efforts. These have to be carried out in a fast and efficient manner since resources are often limited in disaster-affected areas and it's extremely

3D Concrete Printing of Triply Periodic Minimum Surfaces for Enhanced Carbon Capture and Storage
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A 3D‐printable and carbon‐capturing concrete is developed by replacing cement with diatomaceous earth (DE), which enhances rheology, provides hierarchical porosity, and serves as a nucleation site for carbonation. Maximum absorption of 488.7 gCO2 kgcement−1 is achieved in 7 days, a 142% increase over conventional concrete, and the triply periodic ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study investigates the role of triply periodic minimal structures in load bearing bone tissue engineering applications. Research uses a combination of mechanical testing, material characterization, and in vitro tests to study the impact of TPMS lattice structures (gyroid, lidinoid and split‐P).
