Assessing extent of building damage following an earthquake: case study of the 2023 Turkey-Syria doublet

npj Natural Hazards
An earthquake doublet (M w 7.8 and M w 7.5) struck southeastern Turkey on February 6, 2023, causing widespread devastation. To evaluate seismic damage across 11 provinces, we analysed strong motion data, developed fragility functions and building damage ...

An Adaptive Inhibitory WSe2 Transistor for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Image Processing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional retinomorphic devices typically require deliberate gate‐bias tuning for each illumination condition. In this paper, we demonstrate an adaptive inhibitory WSe2 transistor that uses photo‐induced regime shift between the subthreshold and accumulation modes to achieve decision‐free, intensity‐adaptive image processing within a single pixel ...

Seismic Reliability Assessment Framework for Unsaturated Soil Slope under Near-Fault Pulse-Like Ground Motion [PDF]

The seismic reliability of soil slopes in geohazard-prone regions, particularly under near-fault earthquake conditions, poses a significant challenge. This challenge is exacerbated by the scarcity of pulse-like ground-motion records for such scenarios ...

Hopping‐Mediated Zero‐Bias Photocharge Retention in Solution‐Processed Van Der Waals Heterostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid–liquid interface assembly enables the fabrication of solution‐processed MoS2 and WSe2 centimeter‐scale, nanometer‐thick type‐II heterostructures on paper. Interfacial charge separation and hopping‐limited recombination produce rectification and persistent photocharge retention at zero bias.

Amphoteric Cu‐Doping Leading to High Thermoelectric Performance in p‐Type Bismuth Antimony Telluride

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study shows that Cu plays two opposite roles in p‐type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 depending on the processing route. Under thermodynamic‐equilibrium bulk‐synthesis, Cu mainly occupies cation sites, increases hole concentration, preserves mobility, and slightly reduces lattice heat transport. The best‐performing composition among the investigated series reaches

Critical response of reinforced concrete moment-resisting frames with steel damper columns subjected to sequences of two pulse-like ground motions

Frontiers in Built Environment
A reinforced concrete (RC) moment-resisting frame (MRF) with steel damper columns (SDCs) can be considered a damage-tolerant structure. The behavior of such a structure depends on the strength balance of the RC MRF and SDCs, and the pinching behavior of ...

Microfluidic Nano‐Assembly of Red‐Blood‐Cell (RBC) Lipids and Components for Engineering Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Engineered red blood cell‐derived extracellular vesicles (eRBCEVs) are synthesized via controlled microfluidic assembly from native RBC lipids, enabling tunable encapsulation of proteins, nucleic acids, nanoparticles, and viral vectors. The platform demonstrates reproducible nanoscale architecture, preserved membrane composition, and functional cargo ...

Preliminary Investigation of Torsional Ground Motion Effects on the Response of Seismically Isolated Buildings [PDF]

, 2019
This paper compares the response of the low-rise seismically isolated building with and without torsional ground motion. The response of the building under pulse-like and non-pulse like ground motions are also compared.
