Ductile 2-GPa steels with hierarchical substructure.

Mechanically strong and ductile load-carrying materials are needed in all sectors, from transportation to lightweight design to safe infrastructure. Yet, a grand challenge is to unify both features in one material. We show that a plain medium-manganese steel can be processed to have a tensile strength >2.

Terahertz spectroscopy of Bisphenol "A", "AF", "S", "E" and the interrelationship between their molecular vibrations.

Bisphenol "A" is a widespread environmental hormone. After the prohibition on the use of BPA in some applications, it is progressively replaced by its variants. However, these variants of Bisphenol "A" are also noxious.

Quantitative characterization of bovine serum albumin thin-films using terahertz spectroscopy and machine learning methods.

The development of new spectral analysis methods in bio thin-film detection has generated intense interest in terahertz (THz) spectroscopy and its application in a wide range of fields. In this paper, it is the first time that machine learning methods are applied to the quantitative characterization of bovine serum albumin (BSA) deposited thin-films detected by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The spectra data of BSA thin-films prepared by solutions with concentrations ranging from 0.

Investigate the effects of EG doping PEDOT/PSS on transmission and anti-reflection properties using terahertz pulsed spectroscopy.

The conductivity of poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) is significantly enhanced on adding some organic solvent such as ethylene glycol (EG). In this paper, the optoelectronic properties of EG doped PEDOT/PSS on transmission and anti-reflection effects are investigated in detail by terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The transmission line circuit theory gives us an insight into the THz transmission mechanisms of the main and second pulses.
