In the present study, the halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were loaded with a multicomponent inhibitor (LHNT) comprising mainly benzotriazole (BTA), sodium benzoate (SB), and lauric acid (LA) via the vacuum cycling method. The ...

TiO2 has the potential to be a viable anode material for high-power lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the lower electronic conductivity of TiO2 limits its practical applications. Here, the synthesis of novel TiO2 ...

The state-of-the-art thermoelectric technology owns a unique capability of direct, noise-free, and efficient conversion of waste heat into valuable electricity. The conventional thermoelectric generators are complex and ...

Segmentation of abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scan is essential for analyzing, diagnosing, and treating visceral organ diseases (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma). This paper proposes a novel neural network (Res-PAC-UNet) ...

The limits and nature of the passive behavior exhibited by modified martensitic stainless steels (MMSS) is studied in brine solutions at different temperatures using electrochemical methods and the point defect model (PDM), ...

Photocatalysis of water for the production of oxygen and hydrogen is one of the most important development in the drive for clean energy, and it has received a lot of attention because it is a green and easy step to generate ...

Silicon (Si) solar cells are the dominant and well-developed solar technology holding more than 95% share of the photovoltaic market with efficiencies over 26%. Still, this value is far away from the Shockley–Queisser limit ...

Understanding teachers’ attitudes and perceptions of STEM teaching is a key pathway to enhance effective STEM teaching. Inarguably, teachers are the cornerstone of educational quality and play a central role in students’ ...

Undergraduate research experiences (UREs) impart a great deal of knowledge to undergraduate students, enhance the research capital of institutes, and authenticate the country's educational outcomes. To effectively assimilate ...

Both p-type and n-type bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3)-based thermoelectric materials demonstrate high thermoelectric efficiency in the low-temperature thermoelectric modules, but their constrained thermal and mechanical stability ...
