In recent years, the construction industry has seen a significant shift towards utilizing ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) due to its remarkable strength and durability. However, one major challenge constraining its application is understanding how it behaves under confinement, particularly with fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). Traditional models have effectively addressed the stress-strain relationships of normal-strength concrete (NSC) confined
The exploration of the universe’s earliest moments is a tantalizing frontier in modern physics. Scientists are harnessing advanced lab experiments aimed at replicating a mysterious phase of matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang. The theoretical framework provided by RIKEN physicist Hidetoshi Taya and his collaborators predicts an unexpected and valuable consequence of these
The gaming landscape is ever-evolving, and new collaborations are paving the way for exciting advancements in technology. LG, a notable name in the electronics industry, has entered into a strategic partnership with Razer, a leader in gaming peripherals, and MediaTek, a key player in connectivity chips, to create an innovative Bluetooth gaming controller. This partnership
In an era defined by rapid technological advancements, the arts have often found themselves caught between the worlds of the digital and the physical. *Hirogami*, an upcoming 3D action platformer, attempts to navigate this delicate balance by celebrating the ancient Japanese art of origami while simultaneously setting its narrative against a backdrop of digital battles.
