The effect of nitrogen on the stability of the <i>β</i> phase in W thin films Open
The metastable β phase (A15 structure) of tungsten can be made by atom-by-atom deposition in the presence of impurities and has unique properties of interest for use in microelectronic and other devices. In this work, we investigated the e…

Revealing nighttime construction-related activities from a spatially distributed air quality monitoring network Open
In this study, through a novel network-based data-driven method, we reveal a likely unintended, nighttime-specific impact of construction activities on elevated coarse particulate matter (PM c ) concentrations in a metropolitan area.

Stress Distributions in Brazed Single-Lap Joints Under Tensile Loading Open
The most common method for characterizing the strength of brazed joints is uniaxial tension testing of single lap joints (SLJs). Standard interpretations depend on the assumption that the average shear stress at failure is the key metric i…

Remarkably Weak Anisotropy in Thermal Conductivity of Two-Dimensional Hybrid Perovskite Butylammonium Lead Iodide Crystals Open
Two-dimensional (2D) hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites consisting of alternating organic and inorganic layers are a new class of layered structures. They have attracted increasing interest for photovoltaic, optoelectronic, and thermoele…

Reduced Tissue-Level Stiffness and Mineralization in Osteoporotic Cancellous Bone Open
Osteoporosis alters bone mass and composition ultimately increasing the fragility of primarily cancellous skeletal sites; however, effects of osteoporosis on tissue-level mechanical properties of cancellous bone are unknown. Dual-energy x-…

The Microbial Metagenome and Tissue Composition in Mice with Microbiome-Induced Reductions in Bone Strength Open
The genetic components of microbial species that inhabit the body are known collectively as the microbiome. Modifications to the microbiome have been implicated in disease processes throughout the body and have recently been shown to influ…

Incorporation of additives in single crystals – bio-inspired approach Open
Additives are widely used means of controlling the size, shape and structure of crystalline materials.Formation of biogenic crystals is a beautiful example of how to achieve finely tuned crystal growth occurred in the rich additive environ…

Structure and Properties of Nanocomposites Formed by the Occlusion of Block Copolymer Worms and Vesicles Within Calcite Crystals Open
This article describes an experimentally versatile strategy for producing inorganic/organic nanocomposites, with control over the microstructure at the nano‐ and mesoscales. Taking inspiration from biominerals, CaCO 3 is coprecipitated wit…
