TL;DR: There remains growing interest in magnesium (Mg) and its alloys, as they are the lightest structural metallic materials Mg alloys have the potential to enable design of lighter engineered systems, including positive implications for reduced energy consumption as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This work presents surface roughness power spectra of many surfaces of practical importance, obtained from the surface height profile measured using optical methods and the atomic force microscope, and shows how the power spectrum determines the contact area between two solids.

TL;DR: A wide variety of CaPs are presented, from the individual phases to nano-CaP, biphasic and triphasic CaP formulations, composite CaP coatings and cements, functionally graded materials (FGMs), and antibacterial CaPs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a geometric classification of damage zones into tip-, wall-, and linking-damage zones, based on their location around faults, which can be sub-divided in terms of fault and fracture patterns within the damage zone.

TL;DR: An insight into the self-setting calcium orthophosphate formulations, as excellent bioceramics suitable for both dental and bone grafting applications, has been provided.

TL;DR: This publication is highlighting the different views currently existing about the function of FBGC that appear in response to biomaterials at the implantation sites, where FBGC may appear as cellular response, and the general classes of biommaterials.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of waste materials (RHA and bagasse ash) for brick production has been attempted and it was observed compressive strength and modulus of rupture decreased with incorporation of RHA and SBA in burnt clay bricks.

TL;DR: It is shown that Fourier's lawa paradigm of statistical mechanics is generally violated in nanoscale junctions and that unexpected properties, such as a resonant structure and large sign sensitivity, emerge if the nonequilibrium nature of this problem is considered.
