Neutron stars provide a unique laboratory with which to study cold, dense matter. The observational quantities of primary astrophysics interest are the maximum mass and the typical radius of a neutron star. These quantities are related to the relative stiffness of neutron-rich matter at supernuclear...
Necessary diversification of battery chemistry and related cell design call for investigation of more exotic materials and configurations, such as solid-state potassium batteries. In the core of their development lies the necessity of discovering new and
theαparticle (Z = N = 2) forms a building block, and some nuclei can be composed ofαparticles. In such cases,Z = N = 2iholds withibeing an integer, and the mass numberA = Z + Nbecomes equal to ...
Fig. 1. Damage rate, measured as the rate of decrease of the relative dynamic modulus, D, per FT cycle, N versus the degree of saturation for concretes and mortars.(Adapted from [8,38].) The concept of a critical saturation state of concrete has been subject to skepticism [36,37]. ...
The interpretation of changes in the temperature parameters of the N and O atoms, supported by a neutron diffraction study, strongly suggest that the MON unit is present in MS1. A recent nuclear inelastic scattering study performed on irradiated single crystals of guanidinium NP provides evidence ...
expedite research and development in this particular area, this article provides a thorough review of the current state of ASSLSBs. We delve into an in-depth analysis of the rationale behind transitioning to ASSLSBs, explore the fundamental scientific principles involved, and provide a comprehensive...
in determining neutron skin thicknesses of neutron rich nuclei and the mass-radius relation of neutron stars, and in modelizations of supernovae explosions. Its uncertain knowledge is related to difficulties in solving the many-body problem with realistic nuclear interactions. In the last decades se...
Metal-ion batteries are key enablers in today’s transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy for a better planet with ingeniously designed materials being the technology driver. A central question remains how to wisely manipulate atoms to build attr
the preparation of the glassy state of PBAs via a mechanically induced crystal-to-glass transformation and explore their properties. The preservation of short-range metal–ligand–metal connectivity is confirmed, enabling the framework-based functionality and semiconductivity in the glass. The ...
A directional neutron detecting apparatus includes first and second neutron detectors. Each neutron detector includes a thin planar sheet of neutron-reactive material; a first ohmic electrode operably coupled to one side of the planar sheet of neutron-reactive material; a second ohmic electrode opera...
