It is a well-known fact that some lamellar crystals, such as montmorillonite, graphite and hæmoglobin 1, swell reversibly upon the addition of water, the latter entering in small defined layers ...

The room-temperature (RT) deformation behavior for two single-phase body-centered-cubic (BCC) refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs), NbTaTiV and NbTaTiVZr, has been comprehensively investigated via ...

The higher strain-hardening rate of 10V alloy than that of 6V alloy is dominated by the lattice distortion. The effects of V addition on the SFE, lattice distortion, and strain-hardening behavior are ...

Researchers have developed germanium nanoparticles with improved photoluminescence, making them potentially better materials for solar cells and imaging probes. The research team found that by adding ...

Abstract: Self-Reconfigurable Modular Robots typically consist of high number of modules with uniform docking interfaces, allowing them to transform into various shape. Recognizing the shape of such a ...
