This article discusses an analysis of multiple ignition sites, primary circuits, and burst phase delay distributions.

Article on the ion-exchange and associated interfacial reaction mechanisms of silicate glasses. This work reports findings that shed light on the complex ion-exchange mechanisms during glass hydration and enables more detailed understanding of the corrosion and glass-water interactions of silicate glasses which has the potential to impact both science and technology.

Article describes study in which researchers attribute the 600% increase in creep life in a prototypical Mg–rare earth (RE)–Zn alloy to multiple mechanisms caused by RE–Zn bonding—stabilization of a large volume fraction of strengthening precipitates on slip planes, increase in vacancy diffusion barrier, reduction in activated cross-slip, and enhancement of covalent character and bond strength around Zn solutes along the c-axis of Mg using atomic-scale characterization and first principles calculations.

Article utilizing Raman spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy to analyze the phononic and electronic parameters in suspended bulk WSe₂ sheets, fabricated utilizing photolithography and wet chemical etching. The findings of this work will be beneficial in analyzing thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of WSe₂ in a suspended platform for its application in electronic, thermoelectric, and mechanical sensors in the future.
