Experimental Evaluation of 100Cr6 Steel Microindented Surfaces Under Lubricated Nonconformal Point Contacts

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The tribological behavior of 100Cr6 steel spheres textured via Vickers microindentation is evaluated under lubricated sliding by varying both dimple size and density. Fine and dense textures significantly reduce friction across all lubrication regimes, while large dimples increase it.

Carboxylic‐Acid Functionalized Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube‐Alkane‐Based Resistive Temperature Sensor for Cold Chain Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a reversible temperature sensor with high switching ratio, ∼103. The device is fabricated using PET‐ITO and carbon nanotube dispersions in alkane. Considering its application in cold chain logistics, a proof‐of‐concept with LED is showcased. Thus, a temperature drop below the threshold temperature (crystallization temperature of the

Sensitivity of G0 and stress-strain relation of geomaterials to grain shape and surface roughness [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
It is empirically known that the packing property and mechanical responses of cohesionless granular materials are influenced by grain shape. For example, the attainable range of void ratio depends on grain shape; angular materials tend to exhibit greater

Grain Physics and Rosseland Mean Opacities

open access: yes, 2007
Tables of mean opacities are often used to compute the transfer of radiation in a variety of astrophysical simulations from stellar evolution models to proto-planetary disks. Often tables, such as Ferguson et al. (2005), are computed with a predetermined

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Identification of qTGW2, a Minor-Effect QTL Controlling Grain Weight in Rice

open access: yesAgronomy
Grain weight and grain shape are key traits affecting grain yield and quality in rice. In this research, a quantitative trait locus (QTL), qTGW2, that controls 1000-grain weight (TGW), grain length (GL), and grain width (GW) in rice, was fine-mapped ...

Shear flow of angular grains: acoustic effects and non-monotonic rate dependence of volume

open access: yes, 2014
Naturally-occurring granular materials often consist of angular particles whose shape and frictional characteristics may have important implications on macroscopic flow rheology. In this paper, we provide a theoretical account for the peculiar phenomenon
