A significant and increasing number of studies have been dedicated to complex concentrated alloys (CCAs) due to the improved properties that these metallic materials can exhibit. However, while most of these studies employ melting techniques, only a few explore powder metallurgy and pressureless sintering as production methods. In this work, a microstructural characterization of AlCrCuFeMnNi CCA samples obtained by powder metallurgy and pressureless sintering using mixtures of powders with different compositions was carried out. One batch of samples (B1) was prepared using commercial powders of Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Ni. Another batch (B2) used mixtures of CrFeMn, AlNi, and Cu powders. A third set of samples (B3) was obtained by adding 1% at. of Mg to the B2 powder. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, density measurements, and hardness tests. Thermodynamic calculations were also used to complement the microstructural characterization. All the obtained samples exhibited high relative density and hardness values. However, B3 samples showed a higher hardness, attributed to the finer distribution of oxide particles, which was promoted by the presence of Mg during sintering. These last samples presented a hardness/density ratio of 62 HV/(g cm), surpassing that of some martensitic stainless steels and nickel-titanium alloys.

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a clinical condition characterised by language difficulties without cognitive or neurological impairments, leading to communication and learning challenges. The study explores the narrative and linguistic abilities of children with DLD and Typically Developing (TD) peers by analysing both macrostructural and microstructural aspects of their narrative production elicited during a storytelling task and describing the types of grammatical and lexical errors. Participants included 19 children with expressive DLD aged 4-8 years and 19 TD children matched by age and gender.

Chromium-based functional coatings (CFCs) are widely recognized for their outstanding wear and corrosion resistance across diverse industrial sectors. However, despite advancements in deposition techniques and microstructural enhancements, many contemporary CFCs remain vulnerable to degradation in highly corrosive environments. For the first time, this research delivers a thorough characterization of the corrosion resistance of advanced CFCs, focusing on the performance of a 5 μm thin dense chromium (TDC) coating.

The lunar soil samples returned by China's Chang'e-5 (CE-5) contain valuable information on geological evolutions on the Moon. Herein, by employing high-resolution time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), five rock chip samples from the CE-5 lunar soil are characterized in-depth, which reveal micro-morphological and compositional features. From the elemental/molecular ion distribution images, minerals such as pyroxene, ilmenite, feldspar, K-rich glass, silica, and silicate minerals are identified, along with their occurrence states and distribution results.

The preparation and modification of porous electrodes are an important component of the new generation electrochemical oxidation technology. Rapid preparation of porous electrodes can be easily achieved by synchronous oxygen bubble electrodeposition. However, according to the reaction mechanism of lead dioxide anodic electrodeposition, there is bound to be a competitive reaction of adsorbed hydroxyl radicals in the oxygen bubble template method, which means that synchronous OER impacts both the surface morphology and potentially the crystalline structure of the metal oxides.

The potential of hydrogen plasma arc technology for the efficient deoxygenation and recycling of titanium alloy scrap is explored. The results of thermodynamic analysis reveal that hydrogen plasma is suitable for oxygen removal. The intermediate stages of the deoxygenation process are sequentially analyzed, showing that the hydrogen plasma arc primarily facilitated the reduction and dissolution of oxides as well as eliminated interstitial oxygen.
