Summary: Highly porous alumina monoliths can be fabricated by simultaneous hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides and salts as homonuclear precursors, avoiding the use of carcinogenic epoxides. In this novel approach, no water is added to the system but hydrolysis is induced by the crystal water of the aluminum salt, leading to mechanical stabilization and significantly increased porosity values when the sol-gel synthesis is performed in an autoclave.

Summary: Ice templating is an important technique in developing biomimetic structures for synthetic materials to mimic the design and functionality of natural materials. By using as-synthesized alpha-alumina platelets as building blocks, researchers successfully replicated the inorganic part of nacre through directional solidification in a custom-built setup. The resulting ordered lamellar structure showed significant improvement in mechanical properties due to the reduction of porosity and large-scale alignment of alumina platelets from cold-compaction and sintering.

Summary: Real-time observations of molecules are crucial for understanding their behavior and function. Different methods, including diffracted x-ray tracking and diffracted x-ray blinking (DXB), have been used to monitor molecular motion. In this study, a laboratory x-ray source was employed to measure internal molecular dynamics, revealing movement in bovine serum albumin (BSA), antifreeze protein (AFP), and PC(8)FA polymer systems. AFP molecules were observed to exhibit increased motion at lower temperatures, and the PC(8)FA polymer had the highest rotational diffusion coefficient among the samples. This technique provides atomic-level molecular information and could be applied to various types of crystals and crystalline polymers.

Summary: The dynamic properties of protein molecules play a critical role in their structure and function. Time-resolved X-ray observation allows for the study of protein structures with picometre-scale precision. In this study, diffracted X-ray blinking (DXB) and diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT) were used to examine the dynamics of a protein in the intestinal cells of living Caenorhabditis elegans. The results showed that the rotational motion of the protein decreased at subzero temperatures, while a mutant protein with defective ice-binding ability did not show a decrease in motion. Additionally, the wild-type protein exhibited higher twisting and tilting motional speeds compared to the mutant protein. These findings highlight the importance of protein dynamics and demonstrate the potential of DXB and DXT for studying protein behavior in live animals with subnano resolution precision.

Summary: In this study, CBS glass/Al2O3 composites were developed for LTCC applications based on a CaO-B2O3-SiO2 (CBS) glass system with a high boron content. The study revealed that the softening of glass and interfacial reaction between the glass and Al2O3 were the two most important factors affecting LTCC's densification process. Real-time shrinkage rate of LTCC during sintering was successfully simulated, and it was proven that the formation of the CaAl2(BO3)O phase played a significant role in reducing glass viscosity and promoting dense structure formation. The resulting LTCC composite exhibited excellent performance for high-frequency applications.

Summary: In this study, the disordering caused by swift heavy ion irradiation in two different compositions of pyrochlore structures was investigated. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze the samples before and after irradiation. It was found that both compositions underwent amorphization due to irradiation, with a slower rate observed in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1. The irradiation-induced modified track region in Nd1.8Zr2.2O7.1 consisted of defect-rich pyrochlore structure, anion-deficient fluorite structure, and amorphous domains.

Summary: The study investigates the frictional and wear behaviors of carbon fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites with different fiber orientations mating with ceramic balls. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects the friction and wear properties of the composites. Pads with randomly arranged fibers demonstrate better friction stability and lower wear volume, potentially suitable for bearing material applications. The research also explores the factors influencing the formation of continuous tribo-film and identifies abrasive wear and oxidation wear as the dominant wear mechanisms for the friction pairs.
