Glass alteration in the presence of microorganisms has been a topic of research for over 150 years. Researchers from a variety of disciplines, including material science, biology, chemistry, geology, physics, and cultural heritage materials preservation
The ASTM Interlaboratory Study (ILS) #1547 (Determining T0,X at Elevated Loading Rates) was launched in 2019 under the leadership of MPA Stuttgart (Germany). The NIST contribution consisted in 80 low-temperature fracture toughness tests at elevated loading

We use dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structure of the pillared Hofmann compound Ni(3-Methy-4,4'-bipyridine)[Ni(CN)4] (NiBpyMe for short, or PICNIC 21). We model the disorder found in experimental X-ray structure
Various many-body perturbation theory techniques for calculating electron behavior rely on W, the screened Coulomb interaction. The screening requires complete knowledge of the dielectric response of the electronic system, and the delity of the calculated

Next-generation millimeter-wave (> 30 GHz) telecommunications electronics must be compact, energy efficient, and have good thermal management. Tunable materials may play a role in meeting these requirements for millimeter-wave front-ends, but there are few

Introducing a non-regular distribution in the mass and bonding by including distinctly different elements can reduce the phonon transport even within structurally well-ordered materials. These distributions are a quality of all high-entropy alloys (HEAs)

We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of ethane-1,2-diol based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with an existing equation of state, and it is valid from the triple point to 465 K, at

Block copolymer (BCP) phase separation is an intriguing phenomenon whose dynamics can be expected to differ significantly from that of the polymer blends due to constraint of chain connectivity that limits the ultimate scale of phase separation and the

Additive biomanufacturing has been adapted in a wide variety of biomedical and tissue engineering applications, including orthopedics. The ability to print biocompatible, patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, mechanical strength has made
Graded magnetic materials represent a promising new avenue in modern material science from both fundamental and application points of view. Over the course of the last few years, remarkable results have been obtained in (epitaxial) heterostructures based

This Certification Report documents the procedures used to develop certified values of absorbed energy (KV) for the following RHS (Reduced Half-Size)-type miniaturized verification Charpy V-notch impact specimens: • SRM 2237 (low-energy level, KV = 3.87 J)
Self-terminating electrochemical deposition is used to grow Pt nanoparticles on tungsten monocarbide (WC) from a pH 4 electrolyte containing 3 mmol/L K2PtCl4 - 0.5 mol/L NaCl. An unconventional potentiodynamic deposition program is used where nucleation is

Photolithographically defined thin film Au dots were used as micro fiducial markers for digital image correlation (DIC), to enable two-dimensional strain measurement of 200 micron-thick LIGA (Lithographie, Galvanformung, Abformung) nickel alloys. Due to
Spin structure of a magnetic system results from the competition of various exchange couplings. Pressure driven spin structure evolution, through altering interatomic distance and hence electronic structure, produces baromagnetic effect(BME), which has
