In this paper, the solid-liquid composite method is used to prepare the steel-copper bimetal sample through two-stage cooling process (forced air cooling and oil cooling). The relationship between the different microstructures and friction properties of the bimetal copper layer is clarified. The results show that: the friction and wear parameters are 250 N, the speed is 1500 r/min (3.86 m/s), the friction coefficient fluctuates in the range of 0.06-0.1, and the lowest point is 0.06 at 700 °C. The microstructure of the copper layer was α-Cu, δ, CuP, and Pb phases, and Pb was free between α-Cu dendrites. When the solidification temperature is 900 °C, the secondary dendrite of α-Cu develops. With the decrease temperature, the growth of primary and secondary dendrites gradually tends to balance at 700 °C. During the wear process, Pb forms a self-lubricating film uniformly distributed on the surface of α-Cu, and the CuP and δ phases are distributed in the wear mark to increase α-Cu wear resistance.

High lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs) concentrations in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau thermal springs pose environmental and health challenges, but their origins and enrichment mechanisms remain unclear. This study focuses on the Sogdoi geothermal field, located along the southern Karakoram Fault, to investigate these processes. Multi-isotope analyses (H, O, Li, Sr) reveal that Li and Cs predominantly originate from the host rocks, especially granitoids and meta-sedimentary rocks, rather than from magmatic fluids.

Polyproline is a unique thermoresponsive polymer characterized by large thermal and conformational hysteresis. This article employs polyproline-based double hydrophilic block copolymers (PNIPAM--PLP) to gain insight into polyproline's thermoresponsive mechanism. The amine-terminated poly(-isopropylacrylamide) (NH-PNIPAM) was used as the macroinitiator for ring-opening polymerization of proline-NCA monomers, resulting in various block copolymers (PNIPAM--PLP) with varying PLP block lengths.

Atomic Basal Defect-Rich MoS by One-Step Synthesis and Mechanism Exploration.

Article Synopsis
  • Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS) has potential for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) due to strong exciton resonance, but its inert basal plane hinders effectiveness.
  • A new one-step synthesis method introduces atomic defects, specifically single sulfur vacancies, by using NaCl, which facilitates both rapid growth and defect formation during cooling.
  • SERS tests show that the defect-rich MoS can detect rhodamine 6G at 10m concentrations, comparable to noble metal substrates, indicating this activation strategy could improve performance in various applications beyond SERS.

Compact structures for single-beam magneto-optical trapping of ytterbium.

At present, the best optical lattice clocks are based on the spectroscopy of trapped alkaline-earth-like atoms such as ytterbium and strontium. The development of mobile or even space-borne clocks necessitates concepts for the compact laser-cooling and trapping of these atoms with reduced laser requirements. Here, we present two compact and robust achromatic mirror structures for single-beam magneto-optical trapping of alkaline-earth-like atoms using two widely separated optical cooling frequencies.

Background: Cooling towers containing Legionella spp are a high-risk source of Legionnaires' disease outbreaks. Manually locating cooling towers from aerial imagery during outbreak investigations requires expertise, is labour intensive, and can be prone to errors. We aimed to train a deep learning computer vision model to automatically detect cooling towers that are aerially visible.
