Sharing tactical data in a network-enabled coalition

The NATO Command, Control and Consultation Agency (NC3A) is a participant in a coalition project called the Shared Tactical Pictures (STP). The aim of STP is to develop methods and techniques to enable the sharing of a wide variety of infor...

Three-dimensional structure and formation mechanisms of Y2O3 hollow-precipitates in a Cu-based metallic glass

Recently, the high ductility of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been directly linked to the presence of Y2O3 precipitates, and surrounding crystallized areas. Nevertheless, the formation of the precipitates remains to be defined. ...

A Rechargeable Zinc–Copper Voltaic Battery Built from Cost-Effective Electrodes and Electrolytes

The zinc–copper (Zn-Cu) voltaic battery is the first battery made in human history, but the Cu2+ dissolution issue leads to the reaction’s irreversibility. To tackle this challenge, solid-state electrolytes, ion exchange membranes, and func...

DC-Sync: A Doppler-Compensation Time-Synchronization Scheme for Complex Mobile Underwater Sensor Networks

Time synchronization is crucial for effective collaboration among underwater sensors. However, existing synchronization protocols primarily cater to low-speed or simple motion scenarios, neglecting variations in radial velocity during messa...
