Innovative Photon‐Engineered Fluorescent Tri‐Layer Polymeric Coatings for Sub‐Ambient Colored Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work provides a photoluminescence‐enhanced coating material solution for enhancing solar reflectance and coloration, systematically investigating the fluorescence’s role on the optical performance. All colored coatings exhibit excellent sub‐ambient cooling capacity (historically high solar reflectance and over 0.96 infrared emittance), while ...

A Modern Roman‐Inspired Concrete with Daytime Radiative Cooling Capacity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coolcrete, inspired by ancient Roman concrete, is a new cementitious material with photonic properties enabling passive daytime radiative cooling. Made from quicklime and zeolites, it reduces cooling energy demand, lowers CO2 emissions, and may eliminate urban heat islands.

Vacancy Engineered Zero‐Valent Iron Steer Hydrogen Spillover toward Per‐ and Polychlorinated Organics Rapid Complete Dechlorination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zero‐valent iron with a vacancy‐rich carbon shell and lattice Cu doping in Fe0 cores generates a dechlorination mechanism combining enhanced electron transfer and modulated H* spillover, which significantly lowers the energy barrier for dechlorinating low‐chlorinated intermediates, accelerates C─Cl bond dissociation, and then delivers breakthrough ...

Coupling of Engineered High Entropy Alloys with Semiconducting TiO2 Nanofilms for Scalable and Ultrafast Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A facile and scalable strategy is presented to fabricate high‐performance hybrid photoelectrocatalysts combining PtFeCoNiCu HEA and TiO2–NFs via sequential anodization and electrodeposition, achieving an ultralow overpotential of –11 mV at η10 and excellent thermal stability. Abstract High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a promising class of electrocatalysts

Probabilistic approaches in civil engineering: generation of random fields and structural identification with genetic algorithms

, 2008
The inherent stochastic character of most of the physical quantities involved in engineering models has led to an always increasing interest for probabilistic analysis. Many approaches to stochastic analysis have been proposed. However, it is widely acknowledged that the only universal method available to solve accurately any kind of stochastic ...

Improved Direct Ink Writing of Liquid Metal Foams via Liquid Additives

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
The ability to pattern liquid metal is useful for making soft electrical and thermal devices. Dispensing liquid metal from a nozzle naturally results in the formation of spheroidal droplets, making direct‐write printing challenging. Liquid metal foams containing pockets of air can extrude as filaments, albeit inconsistently.
