A crucial objective for mitigating the global environmental footprint of the construction sector is the imperative to develop sustainable and ecological concrete alternatives. This investigation presents a novel strategy...

ABSTRACT Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is a compelling route for sustainable green hydrogen production. Yet Ir‐based oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts suffer from a persistent trade‐off ...

Abstract Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) is increasingly used in modern construction because of its improved strength, durability, and versatility. This review analyses data from several research papers to evaluat...

Red mud that is produced as a residue of alumina from bauxite ore through the Bayer process is undesirable or has potential environmental problems due to its large volume and high pH. Red mud was incorporated into the co...

Abstract Sodium carbonate-activated slag mortar (SCASM) exhibits the advantages of low shrinkage, high strength in late age, and low-cost and carbon emissions. However, its microstructure is relatively porous due to the ...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

Abstract The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (e-CO2RR) on Cu-based catalysts has been extensively studied; however, achieving high selectivity for C2+ products and long-term durability remains challenging. Here, ...

Developing cost-effective and highly durable electrocatalysts to overcome the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical for the promotion of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In thi...

Limb difference affects millions worldwide, with prevalence expected to rise due to increasing rates of diabetes and vascular disease. Despite the need for high-quality, functional prostheses, many individuals, particula...

Background: This study investigated the effectiveness and durability of a combined exercise program on strength, endurance, speed, agility, flexibility, and quality of life in sedentary older adults.Methods: In this rand...

BackgroundSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by a complex and heterogeneous interplay between vascular dysfunction, immune activation, and progressive fibrosis. Despite advances in molecular characterization, ther...

Soft robotics is a rapidly evolving field that leverages compliant and deformable materials to create robotic systems capable of safe human interaction, environmental adaptability, and bio-inspired motion. Unlike rigid r...

Tactile sensors are essential to human–machine interaction. However, current technologies still face key challenges, including energy supply, electrode redundancy, and signal crosstalk. This work proposes an all-in-one...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is critical for credible climate decisions, although practice varies contextually. This review explains when to use attributional (ALCA) versus consequential (CLCA) LCAs, consolidating guidanc...

Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) of marine mammals is essential for biodiversity monitoring and communication studies. Tracking animals in situ further enables behavioral investigation. Monitoring from boats, t...

ABSTRACT Silicon anodes require binders that not only buffer volume changes but also preserve interfacial integrity. However, excessive encapsulation limits ion transport and long–term stability. Here, we develop a lip...

This study aims to characterize and analyze the physical and chemical performance of CH clay soil stabilized independently and separately by fly ash and metakaolin based geopolymers activated by sodium hydroxide. Differe...

Abstract This study aims to develop a performance grade (PG) zoning map for asphalt pavements along the Kabul–Salang Highway in Afghanistan, considering local climatic conditions and traffic factors, to support optimiz...

Fe-N-C catalysts are highly competitive alternatives to noble-metal catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Herein, an efficient Fe and N co-doped three-dimensional graphene (Fe-N-G) catalyst that possesses a ...

Background: Cognitive disorder is caused by hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Elevated glycemic levels contribute to neural damage and exacerbate cognitive decline, strict glucose control is requir...

The reduction of carbonyl compounds, including ketones and aldehydes, to alcohols is a fundamental and important reaction in organic synthesis. One of the most ideal methods is catalytic hydrogenation, however, the hydro...

Water build-up has continued to be one of the leading causes of performance variability and loss of durability in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), especially at the high current density and transient operati...
