A reaction mechanism is a sequence of elementary reactions that can explain how an overall chemical reaction proceeds. Direct conversion of carboxylic acids to nitriles is desirable but ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

Abstract: This study proposes a novel lightweight robotic gripper with a high-payload capacity using shape-memory-alloy (SMA) actuators and a self-locking mechanism. The multi-joint fingers of the ...

Abstract: Concrete’s affordability, adaptability, and resilience make it a cornerstone of construction, yet its vulnerability to degradation, particularly Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR), poses ...
