Article Synopsis
  • * Using various testing methods and simulations, researchers explored how gutta-percha interacts with asphalt and found optimal mixing temperatures and effective preparation methods for gutta-percha-modified asphalt (GPMA).
  • * The results revealed that eucommia ulmoides gum (EUG) is compatible with asphalt and increases its thermal stability, while sulfur-vulcanized eucommia ulmoides gum (SEUG) has a strong effect on high temperature performance but not on low temperature cracking resistance; different manufacturing processes were identified for each type of modified asphalt.

In recent years, eucommia ulmoides gum (EUG), also known as gutta-percha, has been extensively researched. Molecular dynamic simulations and experiments were used together to look at how well gutta-percha and asphalt work together and how gutta-percha-modified asphalt works. To investigate the gutta-percha and asphalt blending systems, the molecular models of asphalt and various dosages of gutta-percha-modified asphalt were set up using Materials Studio (MS), and the solubility parameters, intermolecular interaction energy, diffusion coefficient, and mechanical properties (including elastic modulus, bulk modulus, and shear modulus) of each system were calculated using molecular dynamic simulations at various temperatures.

The Zhaoshan long-baseline Atom Interferometer Gravitation Antenna (ZAIGA) is a new, to the best of our knowledge, type of large-scale atom interferometer facility under construction for the study of gravitation and related problems. To meet the different requirements of the laser system for the atom interferometer using various atoms (including , , , and ), we design and implement a modular assembled laser system. By dividing the laser system into different basic units according to their functions and modularizing each unit, the laser system is made highly scalable while being compact and stable.

We demonstrate a novel laser frequency shift scheme using a 12-pass 350-MHz acousto-optic modulator (AOM). This AOM system shows better performance compared to ordinary acousto-optic modulation schemes. The frequency of the incident laser beam is shifted by 4.
