Scientific Reports, Published online: 30 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-50850-2 Effects of silicon dioxide nanoparticles on the mechanical, acoustic and vibration damping properties of kenaf-fibre polyester composite panels

Accurate prediction of the elastic properties of chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) remains a long-standing challenge due to the structural complexity of amorphous networks and the limited availability of reliable mechanical measurements. In this work, we develop a set of numerical estimator algorithms capable of predicting Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, the Bulk modulus, and the Shear modulus of a C…

A new technical paper, “Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Long Al2O3 Nanowires for Enhanced Thermal Management in Advanced Semiconductor Packaging,” was published by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and National Cheng Kung University. Abstract “The rapid increase in heat flux in advanced 2.5D/3D semiconductor packaging places stringent demands on thermal interface materials (TIMs…

An incredible 2,200-year-old Roman shipwreck has revealed the "surprising" way ancient sailors managed to keep their vessels water-resistant while at sea. The wreck, called Ilovik-Paržine 1, sunk near the Croatian coastline, rests in Paržine Bay close to Ilovik Island, dating around the mid-second century BC. Scientists from France and Croatia examined the protective layers on the hull in a study…
