Influence of the Skid Resistance of Ultrathin Wearing Course with Various Types of Asphalt Binders

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2020
Ultrathin wearing course (UTWC) has been widely applied in both asphalt pavements preventive maintenance and functional overlay. This study’s objective is to evaluate the influence of different modified asphalt binders with warm mix additives on the skid

Perceptions of Parcel–Level Wildfire Risk Differ Between Homeowners and Trained Assessors in Wildland–Urban Interface Communities Across the Western United States

Risk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Wildfire risk mitigation on private property is central to reducing community wildfire vulnerability. Homeowners have control over many of the key factors that contribute to wildfire risk on their parcels, yet vulnerable conditions persist. One potential explanation is a misalignment between homeowners' and trained assessors' perceptions of ...

The Importance of Tire Wear Particles for Atmospheric Ice Nucleation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Tire wear particles (TWPs) are prevalent microplastic particles in the atmosphere and pose significant environmental and health risks to humans. Here, we investigated the ice nucleation activity (INA) of TWPs under mixed‐phase cloud conditions (∼−20.0°C < T < −5.0°C) and its changes caused by different environmental exposures, including UV and

Potential applications for composite utilization of rubber and plastic in asphalt pavements: A critical review

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online)
Waste plastics and rubber have always posed a threat to the environment and a great challenge for disposal. The use of these two waste materials as modifiers for road asphalt provides new road asphalt binders and at the same time provides a new way for ...

Atomic‐Level Insight of Carbon‐Based Anodes for Advanced Sodium Storage: Electrochemical Mechanisms and Molecular Simulation‐Assisted Modification

cMat, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Hard carbon is a promising anode for sodium‐ion batteries, yet its Na+ storage mechanism remains elusive. This review summarizes Na+ storage behavior in hard carbon from first‐principles (DFT) calculations, establishes structure–function relationships, summarizes DFT‐based evaluation methods, and provides perspectives for the rational theoretical ...

Seismic imaging of the critical zone of dolerite dykes at Cap Fréhel in Brittany (France)

Near Surface Geophysics, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 262-288, June 2026.
Abstract In June 2023, we measured ten near‐surface seismic profiles to image the critical zone of dolerite (diabase) dykes that cut the sandstone at Cap Fréhel in Brittany (France). Seismic ray tracing and inversion are used to determine the thickness of the regolith layer from first‐arrival P‐wave traveltimes.
