Role of construction in managing disasters in developing economies [PDF]

Recent large scale natural disasters such as Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 2004 reminded the world that the natural disasters can occur at any time any place and there are no “safe heavens” in the world.

Overcoming the Trade‐Off Between Magnetic Coupling and Electrical Insulation in Soft Magnetic Materials via Nanochain Engineering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs a nanochain engineering approach combined with an in situ oxidation strategy to fabricate self‐insulating iron‐based magnetic nanochains, addressing the challenge of balancing magnetic coupling and electrical insulation in soft magnetic materials.

Fertility response to natural disasters : the case of three high mortality earthquakes [PDF]

The event of a natural disaster, and being directly affected by it, brings a large shock to life-cycle outcomes. In addition to the replacement effects of higher fertility following a disaster that caused high mortality, a positive fertility response may

Achieving Fast Charging and Superior Cycling Stability Single‐Crystal Ni‐Rich Cathodes by Ultrafast Aqueous Washing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prolonged water washing severely damages the surface layered structure of single‐crystal Ni‐rich cathodes, forming a thick rock‐salt barrier. In contrast, our 3‐min ultrafast washing removes residual lithium while confining surface reconstruction to an ultrathin 2–4 nm layer, thereby unlocking excellent fast‐charging and cycling stability.

Modulus Matching and Interface Enhancement: A Synergistic Strategy for Antidelamination High‐Performance Stretchable Triboelectric Nanogenerator

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinspired TENG features a homologously paired interface with matched modulus. Ultrasonic cavitation enhances its toughness to 190 N m−1 (3.2× higher), preventing delamination under 400% strain. Abstract With the growing demand for flexible self‐powered energy sources for wearable bioelectronics, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) have emerged as a ...

Hierarchical Strain‐Modified Medium‐Entropy Carbide Ceramics Exhibit Exceptional Ablation Resistance up to 2400°C

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel strategy is developed by doping reduced graphene oxide (rGO) into a (HfZrTi)C medium‐entropy ceramic. This induces a hierarchical strain modification mechanism, synergistically inhibiting crack propagation at the microscale and dissipating stress at the mesoscale.
