One-step fabrication of superhydrophobic fabrics with stable mechanical performance in harsh conditions

Abstract Developing robust water-repellent textiles is critical for outdoor, protective, and industrial applications. However, achieving long-lasting water repellency under mechanical stress remains a significant challenge. Conventional app...

Fast Timing Techniques in FLIM Applications

Fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) is increasingly used in many scientific disciplines, including biological and medical research, materials science and chemistry. The fluorescence label is not only used to indicate its location, but also...

THE CHALLENGE OF ‘TECHNOLOGICAL CHOICES’FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE APPROACHES IN ARCHAEOLOGY*

Recently several anthropological and sociological studies have interpreted technologies as cultural choices that are determined as much by local perceptions and the social context fly any material constraints or purely functional criteria. ...

Functionalization of polyoxometalates: towards advanced applications in catalysis and materials science

Functionalization via covalent grafting of organic functions allows to tune the redox and acid-base properties, and the solubility of polyoxometalates, to enhance their stability and biological activity and to reduce their toxicity, to faci...

Materials science and engineering

a b s t r a c t The dislocation density and the Burgers vector population are determined within the Cu and Nb layers in highly textured sputter-deposited Cu-Nb multilayers by X-ray line profile analysis. The measurements are conducted with ...

Explainable machine learning in materials science

Abstract Machine learning models are increasingly used in materials studies because of their exceptional accuracy. However, the most accurate machine learning models are usually difficult to explain. Remedies to this problem lie in explaina...
