The discovery of bioactive glasses (BGs) in the late 1960s by Larry Hench et al. was driven
by the need for implant materials with an ability to bond to living tissues, which were …

Low-cost robust processes are needed to produce construction materials for habitats and
civil infrastructure in the early stages of the development of a permanent base on the moon …

Laser melting (LM), with a focused Nd: YAG laser beam, was used to form solid bodies from
a 316L austenite stainless steel powder. The microstructure, phase content and texture of …

We report on rotating an optically trapped silica nanoparticle in vacuum by transferring spin
angular momentum of light to the particle's mechanical angular momentum. At sufficiently …

This study designed a novel cement-based architectural tile prepared with more than 70%
waste glass content (by weight). The waste glass was employed not only as decorative …

It was recently found that silcrete raw material was heat-treated during the South African
Middle Stone Age (MSA) for altering its flaking properties. This finding led to hypotheses …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ZnO content on the physical,
mechanical and chemical properties of CaO–Al 2 O 3–SiO 2 (CAS) glass-ceramics …

OBJECTIVES: The study evaluates properties of an experimental dental composite
consisting of a porous thermally sintered nano-silica as filler. The properties are compared …

Subsurface damage (SSD) generated during the grinding process directly affects the optical
quality and the service life of optical components. It is of great significance to accurately …

Additive manufacturing exhibits great potentials for the fabrication of novel materials due to
its unique non-equilibrium solidification and heating process. In this work, a novel nano …
