Reconceptualizing Time, Gravity, and Forces through a Discrete Wave-Lattice Model

open access: yes
Amid persistent failures to reconcile quantum mechanics and gravity, Quantum Cell Theory (QCT) ventures a radically fresh vision of spacetime: a discrete, infinitely compressible wave-lattice in which time, matter, and forces emerge from threshold-based compression events.

Bio‐based tannin‐loaded layered double hydroxides in epoxy coatings for smart corrosion protection of steel in underground infrastructure

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study presents a sustainable smart‐coating strategy for protecting underground steel infrastructures from chloride‐induced corrosion. Zinc‐aluminum layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and tannin‐loaded LDHs (LDH–TA) were incorporated into an epoxy matrix to provide both enhanced barrier properties and active, pH‐responsive inhibition.

Harnessing Thin‐Film Solid‐State Electrolytes: Enabling Breakthroughs in All‐Solid‐State Batteries

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration highlighting the advantages of transitioning from traditional thick solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) to thin‐film SSEs. Thinning the electrolyte enables higher ionic conductivity, reduced interfacial polarization, improved flexibility, compact electrode contact, and enhanced energy density, offering a promising pathway toward high‐

Reciprocal trade agreements in gravity models: a meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
Over the time a large number of reciprocal preferential trade agreements (RTAs) have been concluded among countries. Recently many studies have used gravity equations in order to estimate the effect of RTAs on trade flows between partners.

Thermoelectric Functionalization of Key Materials in Lithium‐Ion Batteries: From External Thermal Management to Internal Heat Protection

open access: yesElectron, EarlyView.
This review highlights the shift from external thermoelectric modules to the intrinsic thermoelectric functionalization of key battery materials, enabling internal heat protection and self‐regulating thermal control toward next‐generation intrinsically safe lithium‐ion batteries.

Computational modelling of flows in porous scaffold materials using a lattice Boltzmann method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
PhDPorous scaffold materials have been widely used in biological tissue engineering. It is known that fluid flow in porous media significantly increases the supply of oxygen and other nutrients to cells seeded in the porous material, and speeds up the

Hofstadter’s butterfly in AdS3 black holes

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We derive the reduced Dirac Hamiltonian on the non-rotating BTZ background and use its redshift structure to construct a gauge-covariant single-band lattice model on the constant-time BTZ cylinder.

A Discrete Probabilistic Lattice Model of Gravity, Entropy, and Cyclic Cosmology on a Spherical Manifold

open access: yes
A draft preprint proposing a discrete probabilistic lattice model of gravity and cyclic cosmology on a spherical manifold, intended to explore how gravitational and cosmological behavior might emerge from fundamental point dynamics and a global least-action principle. This is being shared to invite expert review and constructive criticism. The current
