This article discusses the fabrication of superhydrophobic bamboo timber by magnetron sputtering and nanoimprint stamps. It was expected that this work could promote the applications of superhydrophobic and conductive bamboo products.

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.

This article uses extensive experimentation to evaluate the effect of fiber laser micro-cutting parameters over average surface roughness and back wall dross in AISI 316L stainless steel mixture tubes.
