Non‐Equilibrium Synthesis Methods to Create Metastable and High‐Entropy Nanomaterials

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Synthesis of compositionally‐complex materials is limited by immiscibility of elements. Nonequilibrium synthesis methods reviewed here use ultrafast heating and cooling to overcome this limitation, creating metastable solid solutions and high‐entropy nanomaterials.

Large-Scale nighttime illuminated road extraction in the BTH region of China using SDGSAT-1 nighttime light data

International Journal of Digital Earth
Nighttime illuminated roads (NTIRs) are closely related to residents' nighttime travel and activities. However, traditional nighttime light (NTL) data are not highly applicable for large-scale NTIR extraction tasks because of challenges such as low ...
