3+ hour, 18+ min ago   (248+ words) Wind turbine towers use protective coatings to reduce corrosion and extend structural service life. Small coating defects can compromise the protective layer on wind turbine towers. Common defects include pinholes, inclusions, scratches, and contaminants. Detecting these defects early helps manufacturers…...

2+ day, 8+ hour ago   (316+ words) However, many known oxide perovskites are either insulating or have band gaps that are too large for effective solar energy conversion. The real challenge, therefore, is to identify compositions with moderate band gaps that could serve as light-absorbing materials. Conventional…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (581+ words) Researchers built a first-principles database of critical magnetic fields for nearly 7,300 electron-phonon superconductors, revealing unexpectedly large numbers of Type-I materials and predicted upper critical fields reaching 66.9 Tesla....
