Bamboo pedestrian bridge: An ecological alternative for the tropical country regions by Sinta Rivel, Modeste Kameni Nematchoua, Rasolomampionona Zarasoa Arnole, Raminosoa Chrysostôme, Rafefimanana Sambilason Richard, Rafidison Barisoa Harijaona, Jao Barahimo Sela

“…Their longitudinal modulus of elasticity, averaging 20,000 MPa, is nearly double that of glued laminated timber (11,600 MPa for GL24h). The structural lightness of bamboo is also noteworthy, with values of 0.00042 [1/m] for Da and 0.00051 [1/m] for Dg, making them three times lighter than concrete. …”

Transparent wood-based materials: A new step toward sustainability and circularity by Alberto Mariani, Giulio Malucelli

“…These aim to completely remove this component from wood or to eliminate the chromophore groups present in the pristine material, hence obtaining, after direct densification or after infiltration with a suitable polymer resin, a new material with very high transparency, toughness, and lightness. These characteristics can further be combined with other specific features (such as environmental protection, flame retardancy, photoluminescence, and energy storage ability, among others), which open the way toward the development of new, up-to-date, advanced, and sustainable materials for both structural and functional purposes, fulfilling the current concepts of circular economy and sustainability. …”

Spectrum Broadening Due to Nonselective Linear Absorption by Xingchu Zhang, Weilong She

“…This novel linewidth-broadening effect is different from the well-known Lorentzian, Doppler, and Voigt broadening, and is likely to be more independent evidence of the discrete wavelet structure of classical plane light waves. The effect is significant in high-sensitivity spectroscopy measurements, for example streak camera spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy experiments. …”

The extremely efficient and luminous-thermal-stable red phosphor based on new layered and rigid phosphate by Rong-Rong Wang, Jing Zhang, Yi-Jia Liu, Gui-Hua Li, Ge-Mei Cai

“…The large interlayer distance reduced the possibility of effective energy capture by the quenching center thus achieved the high doping concentration of Eu3+. Structural refinement, vacuum-ultraviolet spectroscopy and Judd-Ofelt theory shed light on the low symmetry and stiffer environment of Eu3+ in CIP124. …”
