Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has been increasingly used in materials science to build property prediction models and accelerate materials discovery. The availability of large materials databases for some properties like formation
Variations in additive manufacturing (AM) processing parameters can lead to variations in porosity, making it challenging to predict pore- or void-sensitive mechanical response in AM metals. A recently developed pore metric, the void descriptor function

Mass spectrometry and Raman vibrational spectroscopy were used to follow competitive dynamics between adsorption and desorption of H and anions during potential cycling of three low index Cu surfaces in acid electrolytes. Unique to Cu(111) is a redox wave
Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) and the transmission electron detectors used therein are widely available. Both are generally easy to use, making the collection of imaging and diffraction techniques referred to as Scanning Transmission Electron
Bubble point pressures of six binary mixtures at two compositions each have been measured utilizing a static method. The performance of the apparatus was characterized from bubble point measurements of R32 + R125 for which 19 literature studies are

Li-ion synaptic transistors offer non-volatile multi-level switching through Li-ion exchange between channel and electrolyte, and thus are widely regarded as promising candidates for the neuromorphic computing. However, a relatively low switching speed in
ABSTRACT: Living coordinative chain transfer polymeriza-tion (LCCTP) of α-olefins, including propene, 1-hexene, 1-decene, and 4-methyl-1-pentene, using the CPAM Hf pre-in-itiator 1, the borate co-initiator B1, and excess equivalents of diphenylzinc (ZnPh2)

Fluoride-ion batteries are an attractive energy storage concept analogous to lithium-ion batteries but feature an inverted paradigm where anions (fluoride-ion), and not cations, are the principal charge carriers. Insertion hosts that can reversibly insert
Unmelted titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) feedstock powder oxidizes during powder-bed fusion (PBF) additive manufacturing (AM), which limits the useful lifetime of a batch of powder and affects the overall AM process cost. Critical understanding of key factors
We give a brief review of the rapidly changing landscape for scientific publication, especially in regard to scientific archival journal publication. Some of the many challenges and opportunities are outlined. These include the various forms of open access

Quaternary chalcogenides continue to be of interest due to the variety of physical properties they possess, as well as their potential for different applications of interest. Investigations on materials with the sphalerite crystal structure have only
The molecular mass distribution (MMD) obtained in synthetic polymer characterization by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizationtime-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) may be biased by preferential desorption/ionization of low mass polymer
Systematic charge transport characterization of solution-processed graphene inks using ethyl cellulose polymer as a binder/stabilizer, showed graphene patterns with high mobility ( 160 cm2 V-1 s-1), low energy gap, thermally activated charge transport and
Several fatigue and fracture mechanics test standards prescribe the use of fatigue precracked specimens, and measured initial and final crack sizes are required for the analyses. All these test methods utilize the X-Point Average Method, with X = 2 9
