Molecular optimization, which transforms a given input molecule X into another Y with desirable properties, is essential in molecular drug discovery. The traditional translating approaches, generating the molecular graphs from scratch by adding some substructures piece by piece, prone to error because of the large set…

Abstract Atomistic models provide a detailed representation of molecular systems, but are sometimes inadequate for simulations of large systems over long timescales. Coarse-grained models enable accelerated simulations by reducing the number of degrees of freedom, at the cost of reduced accuracy. New optimisation proc…

Functional finishing and surface functionalization play an ever-increasing role in the design of functional textiles for, e.g., technical and industrial applications. Surface treatments impart chemical modifications to the fiber surface that affect the surface free energy, either with the aim to alter the wetting beha…

We retract this manuscript because of calculational errors on the mechanical properties of pentadiamond. Based on feedback from several groups (see below), we carefully rechecked the mechanical properties and found serious mistakes in the optimized structure of pentadiamond under mechanical deformation. Our new calcul…

Composite prosthetic sockets are typically made of fiberglass or carbon fiber. These fibers have good mechanical properties, but relatively poor vibration damping. Flax fibers are claimed to have exceptional vibration damping properties, with the added benefit of being a natural renewable resource and a cost-effective…

One of the primary factors limiting further research and the commercial use of the two-dimensional (2D) MXene titanium carbide (Ti3C2), as well as MXenes in general, is the rate at which freshly made samples oxidize and degrade when stored as aqueous suspensions. Here, we show that including excess aluminum during syn…

Adhesive bonding is a viable technique for joining a wide range of materials (e.g. metals, polymers, ceramics, etc., and combinations of any of these materials). However, one disadvantage of adhesive bonding is the permanent character of the joint. In many situations, it is desirable that the joint can be separated so…

This article focused on further investigation of passive vibration damping of a cantilever plate using carbon nanotube/epoxy nanocomposite. A damping ratio depends on many factors, for example carbon nanotube content, type of carbon nanotubes, and frequency, so the epoxy composite reinforced with 0.2 wt. % multi-wall…

KHNP recently has obtained the approval for the commercialization of the modified 37-element (or 37 M) fuel bundle and now is loading the 37 M fuel bundles in CANDU-6 reactors in KOREA. One of the main issues for approval was the burnup limit. Due to CANDU design and neutronic characteristics, there was no specific bu…

The filtering of overlapping spectral regions may be used to increase the observer’s gamut in some cases. Therefore, metasurface-based contact lenses (M-CL) may improve the color coding for specific stimuli and deuteranomaly conditions. Here, we address the concerns made by Huertas et al. [ Opt.
