Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to significant loads. These structures must endure the weight and vibrations from high-speed and freight trains, as well as the forces acting on high-rise buildings. Therefore, it is crucial to […]

Predicting material failure is a significant challenge in materials science, as stress history often leaves no visible signs. To address this, researchers at ETH Zurich’s Laboratory for Soft Materials and Interfaces, Multi-Scale Robotics Lab, and […]

A group of researchers from Skoltech, Tomsk Polytechnic University, and other academic organizations in Russia and China used the method of plasma dynamic synthesis to obtain a high-entropy carbide—a compound of titanium, zirconium, niobium, hafnium, […]

If conventional speaking valves for tracheostomized patients are used improperly, dangerous overpressure can occur, which can cause serious complications and even death. In a collaboration between the Freiburg Botanical Garden, the Medical Center—University of Freiburg […]

Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) are fundamental to long-span bridge designs, prized for their high load-carrying efficiency and lightweight characteristics. However, their intricate structure makes them vulnerable to fatigue cracking, particularly at key connection points, […]
