Active metasurfaces designed to operate at optical frequencies are flat optical elements that can dynamic, subwavelength-scale wavefront control of reflected or transmitted light. The practical and fundamental power-hand...

The efficiency and longevity of photovoltaic (PV) systems are fundamentally constrained by excessive operating temperatures, which reduce electrical output and accelerate material degradation. To address this issue, this...

Abstract Metamaterials are defined as artificially designed micro-architectures with unusual physical properties, including optical, electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal characteristics. This study investigates the c...

The influence of the chemical composition of the electrolyte and its temperature on the process of sythesis of nanosized zinc compounds by electrolytic method using zinc electrodes was investigated. X-ray studies have be...

In this work, the adsorption of arsenic (V) onto crystalline substituted goethites was studied for samples with different Sn- contents. The highest Sn-content of the prepared samples was 5.5 (expressed as 100?[Sn]/[Sn]+[...

Aluminum (Al), a commonly used reactive metals, is widely applied in reactive material systems. However, its relatively low reactivity restricts the energy release of systems. To improve the reactivity of aluminum, we in...

Phase change materials (PCM) are receiving ever-growing attention as a promising construction material for improving building energy performance through thermal storage and peak load shifting. The analysis of PCM perform...

Stabilizers are critical additives used to ensure long-term storage stability and safe usage of nitrocellulose-based propellants (NCBPs) by mitigating their inherent chemical instability. However, conventional stabilizer...

A number of important processes taking place around strong shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs) depend on the shock obliquity. The measured synchrotron flux is a function of the aspect angle between interstellar magnetic ...

For the first time, the influence of a B2O3 additive on Magnesium, Zirconium, and Hafnium fluorides, encompassing their structural and optical properties, was subjected to investigation. The phase composition of the MgF2...

The increasing release of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly CO2, continues to drive global warming and highlights the need for effective mitigation technologies. In this study, porous nanostructured cellulose acetate...
