High-speed steel (HSS) provides superior wear resistance and high surface quality of rolled-steel products. In this study, the influence of niobium addition on the solidification behavior and microstructure of high-speed ...

Nb-Ti high-strength low-alloy pipeline steel was subjected to a six-pass rolling process followed by the coiling process at different temperatures between 600 and 650 ◦C using the thermomechanical testing system Gleeble ...

Drylands’ poly-extreme conditions limit edaphic microbial diversity and functionality. Furthermore, climate change exacerbates soil desiccation and salinity in most drylands. To better understand the potential effects of ...

The capacity to form biofilms is a common trait among many microorganisms present on Earth. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the fatal pine pitch canker agent, Fusarium circinatum, can lead a biofilm-like ...

Currently, lithium–sulfur batteries for wider applications are challenged by both the shuttle effect in the cathodes as well as the slow kinetics of the sulfur redox reactions. Although metal compounds have been reported ...
