Electron-phonon-driven three-dimensional metallicity in an insulating cuprate
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-24)
The role of the crystal lattice for the electronic properties of cuprates and other high-temperature superconductors remains controversial despite decades of theoretical and experimental efforts. While the paradigm of ...
Straightforward Patterning of Functional Polymers by Sequential Nanosecond Pulsed Laser Irradiation
(MDPI, 2021-04-27)
Laser-based methods have demonstrated to be effective in the fabrication of surface micro- and nanostructures, which have a wide range of applications, such as cell culture, sensors or controlled wettability. One laser-based ...
Multi-Model Approach and Fuzzy Clustering for Mammogram Tumor to Improve Accuracy
(MDPI, 2021-05-18)
Breast Cancer is one of the most common diseases among women which seriously affect health and threat to life. Presently, mammography is an uttermost important criterion for diagnosing breast cancer. In this work, image ...
Ab Initio Theory of Photoemission from Graphene
(MDPI, 2021-05-03)
Angle-resolved photoemission from monolayer and bilayer graphene is studied based on an ab initio one-step theory. The outgoing photoelectron is represented by the time-reversed low energy electron diffraction (LEED) state ...
The Sustainability of Intangible Heritage in the COVID-19 Era—Resilience, Reinvention, and Challenges in Spain
(MDPI, 2021-05-21)
The public health restrictions and social distancing imposed as a consequence of COVID-19 have not only had a profound impact on intangible heritage, they have also prompted resilience, reinvention, and creativity. This ...

(MDPI, 2021-05-22)
Multilayered [FeNi (100 nm)/Cu (3 nm)]5/Cu (500 nm)/[Cu (3 nm)/[FeNi (100 nm)]5 structures were used as sensitive elements of the magnetoimpedance (MI) sensor prototype for model experiments of the detection of magnetic ...
High-Performance Tracking for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell System PEMFC Using Model Predictive Control
(MDPI, 2021-05-21)
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has recently attracted broad attention from many researchers due to its cleanliness, high efficiency and soundless operation. The obtention of high-performance output characteristics ...
Exemplary Ethical Communities. A New Concept for a Livable Anthropocene
(MDPI, 2021-05-17)
This article argues that we need to look at living examples provided by non-state communities in various regions of the world that are, perhaps unwittingly, contributing to the maintenance of the Earth’s optimal thermal ...
Soluble Salts Quantitative Characterization and Thermodynamic Modeling on Roman Bricks to Assess the Origin of Their Formation
(MDPI, 2021-05-12)
The environmental weathering and the formation of efflorescences on the brick walls are studied at the “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum at Ostia Antica archaeological site. Previous studies on subsoil, bedrock, hydrological systems ...
