Electroactive Microbes Short-Circuit the Passive Film to Corrode Stainless Steel

Research
Electroactive microbes are uniquely capable of aggressively corroding metals like stainless steel that were once thought immune to microbial attack. This activity has been attributed to microbial destruction of the protective chromium oxide passive film ...

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Microstructure and mechanical property of large-diameter and low-alloyed Mg-Mn-Ca-Ce-Al alloy

Metals Advances
Large-diameter, low-alloyed Mg-1.0Mn-0.4Ca-0.2Ce-0.1Al (wt%, MXEA) alloy bars were produced by a low-temperature secondary extrusion (SE) process. The MXEA alloy underwent primary extrusion (PE) followed by homogenization treatment.

A texture controller

The Visual Computer, 1998
We propose an efficient method for creating accurate and controllable textures. In the past, procedural textures have been used to cover every point of an object uniformly, although their behaviour could not be controlled locally, as is frequently needed. In order to provide local control, texture-attribute control points are inserted in the model, and

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...
