TL;DR: A combinatorial approach is described to optimize properties of cement hydrates, revealing an indentation modulus-to-hardness ratio extremum, analogous to identifying optimum network connectivity in glass rheology.

TL;DR: A systematic comparative study of the stability, structural and mechanical properties of graphynes - a variation of the sp(2) carbon motif wherein the characteristic hexagons of graphene are linked by sp(1) acetylene (single- and triple-bond) carbyne-like chains, suggesting applications for light-weight, yet structurally robust molecular components.

TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology focused on the coupling of computation and experiment for furthering their understanding of the microstructural properties that control the durability of hardened cement paste is proposed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the texture comprises of surface features over multiple length scales, from micro to nanoscale, where features at each length scale have a size, aspect ratio, and spacing selected to increase the Leidenfrost temperature.

TL;DR: In this article, a fracture analysis on graphdiyne was performed and the authors found a delocalized failure mechanism in which a crack propagates along a diagonal with respect its original direction.
