This paper presents new wide-ranging correlations for the viscosity of ethene based on critically evaluated experimental data. The viscosity correlation is valid from the triple point to 580 K and up to 195 MPa pressure. The average absolute percentage
We introduce a computational framework (InterMat) to predict band offsets of semiconductor interfaces using density functional theory (DFT) and graph neural networks (GNN). As a first step, we benchmark OptB88vdW generalized gradient approximation (GGA)
A compact cold sintering stage was constructed to densify ceramic samples in capillary tubes for the purpose of conducting in situ experiments designed to elucidate fundamental cold sintering mechanisms. The stage was used to successfully densify samples
The observation of superconductivity in hydride-based materials under ultrahigh pressures (for example, H3S and LaH10) has fueled the interest in a more data-driven approach to discovering new high-pressure hydride superconductors. In this work, we

Reproducibility and validation are major hurdles for scientific development across many fields. Materials science in particular encompasses a variety of experimental and theoretical approaches that require careful benchmarking. Leaderboard efforts have
Employing first-principles methods, we investigated the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 and CO on two Fe-based MOFs: Fe2DOBDC and Fe2DSBDC. Our primary objective was to discern the impact of substituting S atoms into the framework while maintaining the
