Deploying energy storage and carbon capture at scale is hindered by the substantial endothermic penalty of decomposing CaCO3 to CaO and CO2, and the rapid loss of CO2 absorption capacity by CaO sorbent particles due to sintering at the high requisite
An interlaboratory study, involving eigth international laboratories and coordinated by COMTES FHT (Czech Republic), was conducted to validate tensile measurements obtained using miniature specimens on additively manufactured (AM) components and artifacts
Methods to determine the optimal neutron wavelength to maximize detector count rates on small angle neutron scattering (SANS) diffractometers at reactor sources is presented. Three experimental methods are used to determine the choice of optimal wavelength

We report the synthesis of two-dimensional and three-dimensional porous polyphenylenes (2D/3D-pPPs) via the Diels–Alder cycloaddition polymerization reaction. The resulting 2D and 3D-pPPs showed surface areas up to 1553 m2 g-1, pore volumes of 1.45 cm3 g-1

The effect of oxygen reduction on the magnetic properties of LaFeO3−δ (LFO) thin films was studied to better understand the viability of LFO as a candidate for magnetoionic memory. Differences in the amount of oxygen lost by LFO and its magnetic behavior
The microstructure of wormlike micelles (WLM) directly affects the rheological properties of their solutions. Investigating the structure–property relationships of WLM has long been a popular topic for researchers who have developed theoretical and

Through the integration of machine learning (ML) techniques alongside additive manufacturing (AM) experimentation, we demonstrate an iterative process to rapidly predict laser-material interactions and melt pool geometries throughout the build parameter
The Charpy reference specimens produced by NIST for the indirect verification of Charpy machines in accordance with ASTM E23 and ISO 148-1 must satisfy strict dimensional requirements, with tolerances that are in most cases tighter than those prescribed by
Sortation is a crucial step in mechanical recycling of post-consumer plastics (PCR) whereby properties such as density or spectral signature are used to separate plastics. However it is difficult to sort polyolefin flakes at high throughput by these
