In this book we will address the landscape project as a disciplinary field located at the confluence of three thematic axes or sources of meaning: the formal axis, the environmental axis, and the socio-functional axis. T...

High entropy alloys (HEAs) are barely 12 years old. The field has stimulated new ideas and has inspired the exploration of the vast composition space offered by multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs). Here we present a c...

Design and production of spectrally smart windows, walls, roofs and fabrics has a long history, which includes early examples of applied nanophotonics. Evolving nanoscience has a special role to play as it provides the m...

Thorium and its compounds (carbides and nitrides) are being investigated as possible materials to be used as nuclear fuels for Generation-IV reactors. As a first step in the research of these materials under irradiation,...

BACKGROUND Materials by design is an appealing idea that is very hard to realize in practice. Combining the best of different ingredients in one ultimate material is a task for which we currently have no general solution...

This paper reports on miniaturized hydrogen sensing platforms, exploring several means of fabricating nano‐ structured films and evaluating their sensing characteris‐ tics. Palladium-sputtered nanoporous organosilica...

AlSb diamondoids are used as building blocks to investi‐ gate AlSb nanocrystal properties using density functional theory. Energy differences between the HOMO and LUMO of AlSb diamondoids vary according to confinement ...

To improve the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide, a novel nanocomposite was prepared via axial coordination of zinc porphyrin on the semiconducting titanium dioxide surface modified with axial coordinating liga...

In this article, a model-based genetic algorithm is used to determine the optical properties of nanostructured zinc oxide single-sided nano thin films that does not depend on the interference fringes of optical transmiss...

Low nano-SiO2 loaded nylon 6 (PA6) nanocomposites were readily produced via in situ polymerization. The effect of surface-modified functional groups of nano-SiO2 on the interfacial structure and properties of nylon 6/SiO...

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNs) find application in nanomedicine as biolabels to identify cancer cells. In this work, Y2O3: Er3+/ Yb3+ and Gd2O3: Er3+/ Yb3+ systems were fabricated by combustion synthesis (CS) and sol-...

As a fascinating conjugated polymer, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has become a new research hotspot and drawn broad interdisciplinary attention as a metal-free and visible-light-responsive photocatalyst in the arena...
