A review on green synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles

Abstract Nanoparticles and Nanostructured materials are playing an ever-important role in affordable healthcare, environment remediation, renewable energy, agriculture, consumer electronics, cosmetics etc. However, progress in these sectors...

The Evolution of COVID-19 Transmission with Superspreaders Class under Classical and Caputo Piecewise Operators: Real Data Perspective from India, France, and Italy

In this study, we analyze the transmission of the COVID-19 model by using a piecewise operator in the classical Caputo sense. The existence along with the uniqueness of the solution of the COVID-19 model under a piecewise derivative is pres...

Experimental study on unloading induced shear performances of 3D saw-tooth rock fractures

A fractal model governing saw-tooth fractures was first introduced to replicate sandstone samples containing an inclined 3D penetrating rough fracture surface with various joint roughness coefficients (JRC). In conventional triaxial compres...

Finite element analysis on the near field properties of metallic cavities with atomic sharpness

Using finite element calculations, we investigated the near field properties of two types of commonly used metal nanostructures (a tip-substrate model representing a scanning tunneling microscope type setup (TS) and a nanoparticle-on-mirror...

The Coming of Materials Science

The Coming of Materials Science , Robert W. Cahn Pergamon, New York, 2001. $64.00 (568 pp.). isbn 0-08-042679-4 If one takes the broadest view, a significant fraction of modern-day physicists are materials scientists. Similarly, many chemis...

Essentials of Materials Science and Engineering

This text provides students with a solid understanding of the relationship between the structure, processing, and properties of materials. Authors Donald Askeland and Pradeep Fulay teach the fundamental concepts of atomic structure and beha...

First principles phonon calculations in materials science

Phonon plays essential roles in dynamical behaviors and thermal properties, which are central topics in fundamental issues of materials science. The importance of first principles phonon calculations cannot be overly emphasized. Phonopy is ...

Practical Handbook of Materials Science

CRC Practical Handbooks are a series of single-volume bench manuals that feature a synthesis of frequently used, basic reference information. These highly abridged versions of existing CRC multi-volume Handbooks contain largely tabular and ...

Thermodynamics and Kinetics in Materials Science

This text presents a concise and thorough introduction to the main concepts and practical applications of thermodynamics and kinetics in materials science. It is designed with two types of uses in mind: firstly for one or two semester unive...

Materials science of DNA

This article critically reviews the emerging field of DNA materials science, which is expected to add a new horizon to the conventional materials science landscape. The introduction provides a short overview on recent developments in the no...

RETRACTED ARTICLE: A brief comparative examination of tangent hyperbolic hybrid nanofluid through a extending surface: numerical Keller–Box scheme

Abstract A novel hybrid nanofluid was explored in order to find an efficient heat-transmitting fluid to replace standard fluids and revolutionary nanofluids. By using tangent hyperbolic hybrid combination nanoliquid with non-Newtonian ethyl...

An In Vitro Study of Local Oxygen Therapy as Adjunctive Antimicrobial Therapeutic Option for Patients with Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a common global disease caused by bacterial dysbiosis leading to tissue destruction, and it is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization. Therapeutic strategies such as oxygen therapy have been developed to ...

Materials for Total Hip Joint Prostheses: Biaxial Flexural Strength of Two Ceramic Systems

Total hip joint replacement is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries in the last decade. Essential part of total hip joint prostheses is the mobile joint “hemispherical head - hemispherical cup”. Functional properties and durabil...

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems: Critical Parameters for Surface Hygrothermal Behaviour

External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) are often used in Europe. Despite its thermal advantages, low cost, and ease of application, this system has serious problems of biological growth causing the cladding defacement. Recent...

Superconductivity emerging from a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes

Superconductivity often appears due to suppression of competing electronic orders. Here, the authors present a contrary example showing a superconducting dome inside the parent phase with a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes and identi...
