Curiosity-driven exploration: foundations in neuroscience and computational modeling

Curiosity refers to the intrinsic desire of humans and animals to explore the unknown, even when there is no apparent reason to do so. Thus far, no single, widely accepted definition or framework for curiosity has emerged, but there is growing consensus th ...

Feasibility Study and Preliminary Design of Lunar Reconnaissance Drone

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Rodriguez Martinez, Erik Uythoven, Thomas Pfeiffer

With orbiting stations and ground bases planned to be built, we are yet to master the ability to explore long term and long range over areas of the Moon often characterised by an extreme topography, dauntingly low temperatures, and wedged with what are kno ...

Strength can be controlled by edge dislocations in refractory high-entropy alloys

William Curtin, Francesco Maresca, Rui Feng

Energy efficiency is motivating the search for new high-temperature (high-T) metals. Some new body-centered-cubic (BCC) random multicomponent "high-entropy alloys (HEAs)" based on refractory elements (Cr-Mo-Nb-Ta-V-W-Hf-Ti-Zr) possess exceptional strengths ...

How bar generate sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont

We ran flume experiments with constant water dis- charge and sediment feed rate at the inlet. Experi- ments were conducted over long times (typically 600 h). The bars migrated downstream intermittently, producing the most important pulses. When the bar pos ...

Combined in situ synchrotron micro X-ray diffraction and high-speed imaging on rapidly heated and solidified Ti-48Al under additive manufacturing conditions

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Christian Leinenbach

An in situ method to study the behavior of alloys during rapid heating and cooling combining laser heating with synchrotron micro X-ray diffraction and high-speed imaging is presented. Near-spherical Ti-48Al specimens were melted using a laser-based heatin ...
