A Bayesian decision support system for optimizing pavement management programs

Heliyon
Over time, the pavement deteriorates due to traffic and the environment, resulting in poor riding quality and structural inadequacies. Evaluating pavement condition over time is thus a critical component of any pavement management system (PMS) to extend ...

Escaping the Scaling Relationships in Oxygen Reduction Catalysis: Implications for PEM Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Escaping the scaling relationships of the oxygen reduction reaction is vital for hydrogen fuel cells. This outlook examines how interfacial heterogeneity, spanning the subsurface lattice, chemisorption layer, and near‐interface solvation volume, mechanistically decouples intermediate binding energetics.

Electrochromic Adaptive Solar Heater and Sub‐Ambient Passive Daytime Radiative Cooler

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An electrochromic Cu–Bi nanocluster device dynamically switches between solar heating and daytime sub‐ambient radiative cooling without mechanical motion. Defect‐activated graphene, minimized electrolyte loss, and pulse‐assisted reversible electrodeposition enable opposite solar and mid‐infrared modulation in one opaque platform, establishing a design ...
