In the aerospace industry, various surface processing or coatings are widely used. However, no detailed research on the aerospace fastener tensile and double shear strength variation due to surface processing has been conducted. Thus, the purpose of this study was to systematically evaluate the effect of surface processing on the standard aerospace fastener's tensile and shear properties.

In this study, the authors determined whether tautomerization dynamics in protic and aprotic solvents displayed differences in reaction rates and in the proportion of the keto and enol tautomers present.

The authors looked at the ability of a convolutional neural network (CNN) to sort contaminated recycling, with varying levels of contamination. They found as contamination levels increased, the CNN faced more difficulty correctly classifying items.

The study explored converting Gracilaria seaweed waste—known for releasing toxic hydrogen sulfide when decomposed—into biochar as a sustainable solution for waste management and soil improvement.

In this study, the authors investigate the crystallization kinetics of vanillin thin films from a solution or a melt, as well as how a silane coating on the glass surface affects these properties.

The authors looked at how the addition of NaCl to crystalline nanocellulose capacitors could improve performance in transistor applications. They found that NaCl can improve performance, but that further work is needed to determine the optimal concentration used depending on the intended application.

The authors investigated prophages present in Streptococcus bacteria that may increase their survival in different environments.

Heating of DNA-containing solutions is a part of many experiment protocols, but it can also cause damage and degradation of the DNA molecules, potentially leading to error in the experimental results. The authors of this paper investigate whether the presence of certain cations during heating can stabilize the DNA polymer and aid the preservation of the molecule.

This manuscript focuses on improving the mechanical strength and radiopacity of SLA 3D-printed stent materials by incorporating nanoparticles for their application in flow-diverting stents (FDSs) used to treat aneurysms. The authors used biocompatible, bioresorbable resin formulations with varying concentrations of silica and zirconium to enhance tensile strength and radiopacity, respectively. The authors employed SEM to confirm the incorporation of nanoparticles, and CT imaging was used to assess the effect of zirconium-infused FDSs.

The authors studied the effect of different substrates on mycelium biocomposites.
