Additive manufacturing (AM) leverages emerging technologies and well-adopted processes to produce near-net-shape products. The advancement of AM technology requires data management tools to collect, store and share information through the product
Apparent negative crack growth is often encountered when performing elastic-plastic fracture toughness tests with the Elastic Compliance single-specimen technique. It consists of a decrease of specimen compliance (reduction of crack size) during the early

Ghost Imaging enables 2D reconstruction of an object even though particles transmitted or emitted by the object of interest are detected with a single pixel detector without spatial resolution. This is possible because the incident beam is spatially
Methods for maximizing the detector count rate for the same scattering angle range and resolution are related to choosing the optimum pinhole collimation parameters which include the source and sample aperture sizes and collimation lengths on small-angle

The available experimental data for the density, thermal conductivity, and viscosity of liquid titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten have been critically examined with the intention of establishing
To advance the additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, R&D projects may evaluate new facilities and different processes that need a scalable data architecture to accommodate the progressing knowledge. This work introduces a data pedigree to enable the

Species transport in thin-film Nafion heavily influences proton exchange membrane (PEMFC) performance, particularly in low-platinum-loaded cells. Literature suggests phase-segregated nano-structures in hydrated Nafion thin films can reduce species mobility
The chemical exfoliation of non-van der Waals (vdW) materials to ultrathin nanosheets remains a formidable challenge. This difficulty arises from the strong preference of these materials to engage in three-dimensional chemical bonding, resulting in

The interplay of Kondo screening and magnetic ordering in strongly correlated materials containing local moments is a subtle problem. Usually the number of conduction electrons per unit cell matches or exceeds the number of moments, and a Kondo-screened

Shell-isolated Nanoparticle Enhance Raman Spectroscopy (SHINERS) and Density Functional Theory (DFT) are used to probe Cl- adsorption and the order-disorder phase transition associated with the c(2×2) Cl- adlayer on Cu(100) in acid media. A two-component
Mesoporous silica impregnated with polyethyleneimine (PEI) has been shown to be a suitable material for the direct air capture (DAC) of CO2. Factors such as CO2 concentration, temperature, and amine loading impact overall capture capacity and amine
