Modelling unsaturated soil slopes subjected to wetting and drying cycles
, 2008 Water infiltration changes the pore pressure distribution in unsaturated slopes leading to slope movement, and therefore has been one of the most common triggering mechanisms for landslides in tropical areas.

2D Co‐Assembly of Solid Acids Enables Stable Superprotonic Conduction Above 260°C
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A two‐dimensional co‐assembly strategy integrates antimony phosphate and phosphotungstic acid nanosheets into free‐standing inorganic lamellar membranes with confined acid–acid interfaces. The resulting interfacial hydrogen‐bond network enables anhydrous proton conductivity exceeding 0.1 S cm−1 at 260°C and supports stable high‐temperature fuel‐cell ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Polarity‐matched Zr–MOFs program Nafion's nanoscale morphology during solution casting. Hydrophilic UiO‐66 preserves hydrated pathways, while hydrophobic UiO‐67 increases the proton hopping sites by densifying ionic clusters. Combining both fillers yields a membrane that delivers 176 mS cm−1 conductivity, reaches 1.46 W cm−2 under 200 kPa, and triples ...

Impact of weathering on a cement-treated sand [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThis study’s main goal was to examine how the wetting/drying solicitations affect the mechanical behavior of a cementtreated sand. A quantitative method based on the stress-dilatancy approach was used to assess the effects of two types of wetting and ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We present a scalable EC/TC hybrid smart window using a DCPE that enables tunable solar modulation (ΔTsol:15–43%), fast electrochromic switching (<90 s), and strong thermal blocking (10–14°C reduction). HPMC improves thermal stability, while an optimized ISL enhances EC performance.

Cracking of silty mudstone subjected to wetting-drying cycles
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical EngineeringCracking affected by wetting-drying cycles is a major cause of shallow failure of soft rock slopes. Knowledge of rock tensile properties and cracking behaviors helps better assess the stability of soft rock slopes. This study aims to examine the cracking

High‐Speed Photoresponse of CVD‐Grown Lateral TMD Heterostructures
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Internal electric fields generated by p‐n junctions and asymmetric Schottky barriers enhance the photoresponse speed in CVD‐grown monolayer TMD lateral heterostructures. This results in a 1.5‐2 orders of magnitude reduction in rise and fall times for optimized device configurations compared to homogeneous single‐material devices, enabling bandwidths ...
