Enhancing printability of 3D printed concrete by using metakaolin and silica fume

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the effects of incorporating metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SF) on the fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed concrete (3DPC). Five mix designs were prepared with MK replacement levels of 0%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%, along with one mix containing 10% MK and 5% SF.

Advances in Relativistic Fluid Dynamics, Observables, and Applications - In Memoriam Walter Greiner

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
Walter Greiner was one of the first physicists using Relativistic Fluid Dynamics for High Energy Nuclear Reactions. The present Inertial Confinement Fusion research and development is hindered by hydrodynamic instabilities, occurring at the intense ...

Coesite Discovery in Eclogites Confirms UHP Metamorphism in the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome (SW Poland)

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eclogite lenses are exposed within the orthogneiss‐dominated core of the Orlica‐Śnieżnik Dome in the Sudetes, which forms the northeastern margin of the Bohemian Massif (Variscan Belt of Central Europe). The presence of coesite inclusions in garnet and omphacite confirms that these eclogites underwent ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphism.

Analytical study of initial flame kernel in laser ignition

Journal of Thermal Science and Technology
The formation process of an initial flame kernel in laser ignition was analytically examined for understanding its experimentally-observed hugeness. First, we evaluated the thermodynamic state of the laser-heated plasma by examining the laser-absorption ...

HiPER: The European path to laser energy

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
While for decades, energy production relying on laser inertial fusion has been a strong motivation for the development in Europe of a few high-energy laser facilities and dedicated scientific programs, the HiPER initiative launched in 2004 fostered an ...

Studies on shock ignition targets for inertial fusion energy

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Shock-ignited inertial fusion targets are studied by one dimensional and two-dimensional numerical simulations. Most of the study refers to the simple all-DT HiPER baseline target (imploded mass of 0.29 mg); both the reference laser wavelength λ = 0.35 ...

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Ultrafast characterization of plasma critical surface evolution in inertial confinement fusion experiments with chirped laser pulses

High Power Laser Science and Engineering
Laser-driven inertial confinement fusion (ICF) diagnostics play a crucial role in understanding the complex physical processes governing ICF and enabling ignition. During the ICF process, the interaction between the high-power laser and ablation material
