Article Abstract

Epoxy Resin System (ERS) steel bridge pavement, which comprises a resin asphalt (RA) base layer and a modified asphalt wearing course, offers cost efficiency and rapid installation. However, the combined effects of traffic loads and environmental conditions pose significant challenges, requiring greater high-temperature stability than conventional pavements. The thermal sensitivity of resin materials and the use of conventional asphalt mixtures may weaken deformation resistance under elevated temperature conditions. This study investigates the thermal field distribution and high-temperature performance of ERS pavements under extreme conditions and explores temperature reduction strategies. A three-dimensional thermal field model developed using finite element analysis software analyzes interactions between the steel box girder and pavement layers. Based on simulation results, wheel tracking and dynamic creep tests confirm the superior performance of the RA05 mixture, with dynamic stability reaching 23,318 cycles/mm at 70 °C and a 2.1-fold improvement in rutting resistance in Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA)-13 + RA05 composites. Model-driven optimization identifies that enhancing internal airflow within the steel box girder is possible without compromising its structural integrity. The cooling effect is particularly significant when the internal airflow aligns with ambient wind speeds (open-girder configuration). Surface peak temperatures can be reduced by up to 20 °C and high-temperature durations can be shortened by 3-7 h.

Color-thermal multispectral camouflage with VO-based dynamic regulator.

Light Sci Appl

September 2025

State Key Laboratory of High Performance Ceramics and Superfine Microstructure, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai, 200050, China.

Camouflage technology has garnered increasing attention for various applications. With the continuous advancement of detection technologies and the increasing variability of camouflage scenarios, the demand for multispectral dynamic camouflage has been steadily growing. In this work, we present a multispectral dynamic regulator based on phase-changing material vanadium dioxide (VO) that can be dynamically and functional-independently regulated for reflective color and thermal radiation.

Precision fermentation represents an innovative cell-based production approach that employs synthetic biology and metabolic engineering tools, revolutionizing global food production by utilizing "microbial cell factories" to produce added-value ingredients. However, its global implementation is hindered by technological and scalability bottlenecks, regulatory fragmentation, regional accessibility and consumer acceptance, and nutritional trade-offs challenges. This review utilizes illustrated case studies and modeling analysis to present a detailed exploration of precision fermentation intersecting with global cell-based food production, discussing actionable research gaps and insights as well as advanced bioengineering practices and analytical techniques, to address these challenges for ongoing academic research, industrial applications and policy initiatives, thus supporting the transition of fermentation-enabled food production toward efficient and sustainable manufacturing.

Recent advances in eutectogels: Preparation, properties and applications.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci

September 2025

Key Laboratory of Colloid and Interface Chemistry (Ministry of Education), Shandong University, Jinan 250100, PR China. Electronic address:

Multiple stretchable gels with conductivity have been thoroughly prepared in diverse solvents historically to modulate their superlative properties in a multitude of applications, such as soft robotics, wearable devices, and e-skins. Eutectogels are considered as an emerging class of gels that combine the best features of both hydrogels and organogels, including environmental friendliness, thermal stability and customizable nature. Eutectogels, composed of deep eutectic solvents (DES) immobilized within different matrices, not only inherit the merits of DES, but also show some additional properties derived from the special structure and compositions, which are conducive to development potential.

Detecting Many-Body Scars from Fisher Zeros.

The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to long-lived oscillations. Despite the success of viewing scars from the perspectives of symmetry, commutant algebra, and quasiparticles, it remains a challenge to elucidate the mechanism underlying all QMBS and to distinguish them from other forms of ergodicity breaking.
