Enhancing Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Coatings on Magnesium Alloys: The Critical Role of Surface Pretreatments

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review explores how various surface pretreatment methods—such as heat treatment, severe plastic deformation, laser modification, immersion, and cold spray—enhance the performance of PEO coatings on magnesium alloys. The study highlights how these pretreatments influence coating microstructure, adhesion, and corrosion resistance, offering new ...

Magnetic Force‐Induced Self‐Assembly and Flip‐Chip Alignment on Electroplated Multilayer Solder with Tailored Melting Points

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates fluidic self‐assembly and self‐alignment of flip‐chips using a magnetic field for agitation and orientation. Pb‐free solder bumps with tailored transformation imprinted melting points enable selective capturing on low‐melting solder in water. After capturing, final alignment is achieved through magnetic forces.

Gender in African Metallurgy

open access: yes, 2020
Gender is frequently invoked as a core explanatory factor for many aspects of past African metallurgy, including conceptualizations of the technological process by its practitioners, the organization of—and participation in—metallurgical production activity, and the acquisition of power and wealth that is associated with it. If a study of technology is

Lightweight and High‐Performance Ankle Braces Enabled by 3D Printed Metamaterial Liquid Crystal Polymer

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A flexible, lightweight ankle brace made from 3D‐printed liquid crystal polymer metamaterials offers targeted support without restricting movement. Programmable stiffness provides protection during risky motions. Biomechanical tests suggest performance comparable to commercial braces with reduced bulk, highlighting potential for broader orthotic ...

Tactile Augmentation of Material Classification via Imperceptible On‐Skin Triboelectricity Collection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Human skin inherently forms a body‐coupled triboelectric circuit that enables the generation of triboelectric charges through contact between the skin surface and various materials. Integrated with an on‐finger, substrate‐free microfiber electrode, the material‐specific and personalized triboelectric signals can be imperceptibly collected for machine ...
