3D-printed and injection molded polymer matrix composites with 2D layered materials
This article reports on a study where 2D TMDs (MoS₂ and WS₂) and the 3D allotrope of carbon and graphite were incorporated into acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) matrices in order to form polymer matrix composites (PMCs). The multipronged analysis described in this study was motivated by the purpose to fuse together topics of low-cost, additive manufacturing with 2D layered materials, and studying their ensuing mechanical and tribological properties.
An Analysis of the Habitat of the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros Rhinoceros Unicornis (Mammalia: Perissodactyla: Rhinocerotidae) at the Chitwan National Park, Nepal
This article uses geographic information systems and landscape-level data obtained from remote sensing sources to build a habitat suitability index model for the Greater One-horned Rhinoceros.
Cache-Aided General Linear Function Retrieval
This article designs a novel coded caching scheme that outperforms uncoded caching schemes that either use unicast transmissions or let each user recover all files in the library. It extends the scope of the authors’ past work that only considered the class of linear functions that operate element-wise over the files.
A Dense Stereovision System for 3D Body Imaging
Article presents a 3D body imaging system built upon stereovision technology which utilizes paired, high-resolution single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras to image the front and back body surfaces of a person, and robust and efficient stereo matching algorithms to reconstruct the 3D surface of the body with high-density data clouds.
Editorial: Superlubricity across the scales
Article talks about how while the idea of frictionless surfaces and the associated implications of vanishing energy losses during mechanical motion have been part of science fiction culture, scientists in the real world work toward realizing this ambitious goal that was once thought to be unattainable. The overarching goal of the research topic titled “Superlubricity Across the Scales” is to provide a snapshot of the latest developments in this rapidly accelerating field of research.
Erratum to “From mechanics to thermodynamics: A relation between the brittleness and the thermal expansivity for polymers”

Geometrical dependence of the low-frequency noise in superconducting flux qubits
Article reporting on a study of a series of 85 devices of vary design using a general method for directly measuring the low-frequency flux noise (below 10 Hz) in compound Josephson-junction superconducting flux qubits. The results support the hypothesis that local impurities in the vicinity of the qubit wiring are a key source of low-frequency flux noise in superconducting devices.

Habitat Quantity of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Picoides Borealis (Aves: Piciformes: Picidae) in its Former Historic Landscape Near the Big Thicket Naitonal Preserve, Texas, USA
This article quantifies pine-forested habitat suitable for Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the former historic range of the species to assess the potential for possible re-colonization.
Mapping hierarchical and heterogeneous micromechanics of a transformative high entropy alloy by nanoindentation and machine learning augmented clustering
Article describes how conventional macromechanical tests provide limited insights into complex hierarchical deformation behavior of a transformative high entropy alloy (HEA). In this work, a high throughput microstructure-micromechanical correlative study is presented by combining high-resolution nanoindentation, site-specific microscopy, and Gaussian mixture model (GMM) clustering.
Mechanical property enhancement of self-bonded natural fiber material via controlling cell wall plasticity and structure
This article explores self-bonded natural fiber material (SNFM) as a promising alternative for plastic and wood owing to its abundant raw material resources and low environmental impact. In this study, a high-performance SNFM was developed by the comprehensive treatments for the plasticity and structure of fiber cell walls. The self-bonded mechanism for natural fiber materials was also discussed. The SNFM products showed excellent mechanical performance, which was superior to that of natural wood and plastic.
