Shear‐Induced Emergence of Aromatic Superlow‐Friction Interfaces in Amorphous Carbon: Triggering Chemical Impurities and Atomic‐Scale Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
High‐throughput quantum‐mechanical simulations reveal that amorphous carbon undergoes shear‐driven structural transformation into aromatic, graphene‐like interfaces. This mechanochemical process is governed by dopant chemistry: dopants with valency less than four promote the emergence of superlow‐friction amorphous graphene, whereas tetra‐valent ...

Unraveling the Power of Disorder: A Bioinspired Cuttlebone Structure With Superior Strength, Energy Absorption and Isotropy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired architected metamaterials introduce controlled structural disorder to simultaneously enhance strength, energy absorption, and compressive stability. Tunable disorder suppresses shear anisotropy, outperforms periodic lattices, and establishes discrete randomness as a robust route to high‐performance lightweight mechanical ...

Structural behavior of one-way slabs reinforced by a combination of GFRP and steel bars: An experimental and numerical investigation

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Glass- fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) offers a significant alternative to steel in reinforced concrete, with superior corrosion and fire resistance. Though less ductile and more brittle in stress–strain behavior than steel, it is very helpful to combine

Backbone‐Length‐Optimized Inhibitors Deliver Long‐Retention Selectivity in Area‐Selective ALD of VO2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Area‐selective VO2 ALD is found to depend critically on inhibitor backbone length, which governs physisorption, chemisorption stability, and packing efficiency in a coupled manner. An intermediate backbone‐length achieves the best long‐retention selectivity, establishing a chemically and geometrically grounded design principle for small‐molecule ...

Large‐Scale Growth of Self‐Poled Ferroelectric Rashba Semiconductor α‐GeTe(111) Thin Films: A Crucial Step Towards Future CMOS‐Compatible Ferroelectric Spintronic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors promise ultralow‐power devices but lack industry‐quality films. This work demonstrates CMOS‐compatible fabrication of high‐quality α‐GeTe(111) films via magnetron sputtering, enabled by a 5 nm Sb2Te3 seed layer. Structural and ferroelectric analyses show robust, switchable polarization comparable to MBE films, paving

Economical design strategies for reinforced concrete one-way slabs: a parametric approach considering material strength and rebar size

Discover Civil Engineering
Despite the rapid advancements in optimization algorithms for economical reinforced concrete (RC) structures, their application to RC slabs has been significantly limited. The primary constraint is slab depth, governed only by deflection control criteria,

Experimental Study of Two-way Half Slab Precast Concrete using Rextangular Rigid Connection

Civil Engineering Dimension
A half-slab precast concrete (HSPC) system with precast bottom layers and in-situ cast top layers has been widely applied in various constructions. It generally behaves as a one-way slab due to the absence of positive-flexural reinforcements in the ...

Shear Strength of One-Way Slabs Subjected to Concentrated Loads

Civil Engineering Journal
Reinforced concrete (RC) one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement are found extensively in bridge constructions. In the presence of concentrated loads (CLs) close to the supports, the shear strength (SS) of such slabs is usually determined using design expressions provided by the codes of practice that were derived originally from tests performed
