Metals such as titanium are prized for their strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion, making them essential for aircraft, spacecraft, and medical implants. Now, a joint research team has developed a groundbreaking processing technique that dramatically improves the strength and toughness of titanium alloys—in just a few milliseconds.

A collaborative research group led by Professor Gyoujin Choand Professor Inki Kim of Department of Biophysics at Sungkyunkwan University, in partnership with Professor Junsuk Rho of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at POSTECH, has developed a fully automated roll-to-roll manufacturing platform capable of producing large-area visible metalenses at a rate of 300 units per second, marking a major breakthrough in translating metasurface technology from the laboratory to real-world industrial deployment.

“AI for Scientific Management" emphasizes prescriptive intelligence—using AI to autonomously optimize organizational systems and bridge the gap between AI theory and management practice. We invite high-quality research that develops new analytical frameworks, provides empirical evidence of AI effectiveness, or introduces innovative simulation models that push the boundaries of how businesses are scientifically managed in the age of big data. Journal of Management Analytics is an SSCI and ABS Grade 2 journal that focuses on the theory of data analytics and its applications in business and management.

Kyoto, Japan -- The larynx, also known as the voice box, is home to your vocal folds and is the reason you can talk and sing while manipulating the pitch and volume of your voice. The vocal folds, which are part of the larynx, are covered with mucosa, or mucous membranes.

Besides vocalization, the larynx also serves other essential functions such as breathing, airway protection, and swallowing. For this reason, any kind of damage resulting in laryngeal dysfunction, or vocal cord dysfunction, can severely disrupt a person's life and lead to symptoms such as voice disorders, chronic cough, or aspiration.

"Vibration of the vocal fold in the larynx plays a crucial role in voice production," says Japanese researcher Koichi Omori. "However, these tissues are difficult to regenerate after injury or the surgical removal of head or neck tumors, which can significantly affect a patient's quality of life."

A new economic report analysing the financial impact of sequencing all complex life in the UK and Ireland has shown a huge return on investment and expected growth in scientific research.

CU Boulder engineers found that staple-shaped particles can tangle together to form materials that are both strong and tough, yet can quickly come apart when shaken or vibrated. This approach could lead to new materials for buildings, robotics and manufacturing that are durable, adaptable and easy to disassemble or recycle.

 

As climate change intensifies heatwaves around the world, soils are increasingly exposed to repeated drying and rewetting cycles that can mobilize toxic contaminants. A new study shows that a specially engineered biochar material can keep mercury locked safely in soil even under these stressful environmental conditions.

From lazy ripples to towering breakers, the mechanics of ocean waves should vary widely from one planet to another, according to a model developed by scientists at MIT and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
