International Journal of Modern Physics: Conference Series, 2013 Recent results in Local Regge Calculus are confronted with Spin Foam Formalism. Introducing Barrett-Crane Quantization in Local Regge Calculus makes it possible to associate a unique Spin jh with an hinge h, fulfilling one of the requirements of Spin Foam definition.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study proposes a function‐sharing anode design to enable nonmetallic lithium insertion while maintaining intimate interfacial contact with the solid‐state electrolyte. A combination of lithium‐compatible and conformable borohydrides, highly conformable indium metal, less‐graphitized acetylene black, and a layer of highly graphitized massive ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Volumetric additive manufacturing allows to print parts extremely fast, but is so far is limited by the build volume of the printers. The foaming materials presented here allow to expand printed parts up to 500% reaching densities of 0.16 g cm−3 as well as providing shape memory properties enabling the creation of lightweight, functional parts ...
