The research results from this review will generally be useful for the engineers, researchers and future study in USMW fields.

The structures of two novel carbon clathrates, whose properties differ significantly from those of diamond, were predicted. The most likely precursors and methods for producing certain types of clathrates were identified.

Fluorinated nanodiamanes are more stable compared to fluorinated fullerene due to stronger C-F bonds.

Influence of Substitutional Doping with Boron, Nitrogen and Iron Atoms on defect formation energies and bandgap values of Diamanes.

Plasma-synthesized graphene enables sensors for personalized health monitoring

Scheme of studies of Ti-32.4Zr and Ti-18Zr-15Nb alloys using neutron diffraction and radiography methods

It was found that PbS quantum dots with the FA ligand have higher mobility and improved optical absorption compared to quantum dots with the Cl ligand. The differences can be explained by the features of the intermediate electronic structure and further used to increase the efficiency of solar cells.

Cobalt nanostructures possess unique magnetic, electrical, and chemical properties, making them valuable for applications in electronics, energy storage, spintronics, and superconducting devices. They enable efficient data storage, low-energy spin manipulation, and improved device performance. This work investigates the magnetic behavior of thin cobalt films with different thicknesses under various magnetic fields.

The elastic modulus of transformer steel sheets is studied using the EBSD and DMA methods at various manufacturing stages. A non-uniform distribution of the elastic modulus across the thickness of the sheets along with its anisotropic behavior is discussed in terms of texture evolution along the production chain.

The study investigates the kinetics of self-healing of the main crack in WC-Co hard alloy. After an eight-hour holding near the sintering temperature the total crack length was reduced by 30% and the maximum crack width capable to self-healing through liquid-phase recovery was approximately 50 μm.

A direct comparison between the model and commercial aluminum alloy reveals that dispersoids in the latter decisively accelerate grain refinement during high‑temperature deformation. The study discusses the decoupling of specific processes — enhanced strain localization and suppressed recovery — through which this acceleration occurs.

Hybrid Al-5083 MMCs reinforced with SiC, Mg, and Sr were fabricated using stir casting and characterized using optical microscopy, SEM, and EDS. The image-based microstructural features were correlated with tensile, flexural, impact, and wear properties to identify the optimal reinforcement level.
