MolTabReco: Table-Coordinate-Grounded Chemical Table Recognition with SMILES Recovery for Molecular-Structure Cells

MolTabReco is a multi-stage framework that integrates table-coordinate grounding, vision-language models, and optical chemical structure recognition to accurately recover molecular structures from chemical literature tables as canonical SMILES strings, significantly outperforming existing methods that fail to convert structural depictions into computable data.

Cerium oxide modified biochar as an adsorbent for efficient phosphorus recovery

This study demonstrates that cerium oxide-modified biochar, synthesized from bamboo via a hydrothermal method, significantly enhances phosphorus adsorption capacity and rate through a spontaneous, endothermic chemisorption process driven by abundant surface hydroxyl groups, offering an effective solution for phosphorus recovery and eutrophication control.

Effects of Seed Size and Shoulder Angle on CdZnTe Crystal Growth by Traveling Heater Method

This study demonstrates that while non-isodiametric seeds with shoulder structures can reduce costs and enable grain enlargement in CdZnTe crystal growth via the Traveling Heater Method, the resulting intensified thermoelastic stress and parasitic edge grains lead to larger Te inclusions and voids that degrade detector performance, making the planar 0° shoulder configuration the optimal choice for achieving superior electrical properties.

The Effect of Fe Content on the Microstructure and Properties of Cast Al7Si0.3Mg Alloy

This study systematically investigates how varying iron content (0.2–1.2 wt.%) in cast Al7Si0.3Mg alloys influences the evolution of iron-rich phases and the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties, revealing that while moderate iron levels can enhance high-temperature stability, excessive iron leads to detrimental needle-shaped β-AlFeSi phases that significantly degrade ductility, toughness, and fatigue life.
