“Our relationship has seen ups and downs, but for quite some time now, it has stabilized and is moving in a very positive direction,” said Israeli Ambassador to Poland Yaakov Finkelstein in an interview with the magazine Fakt, referring to ties between the two nations.

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) determined that Harvard University violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by showing deliberate indifference to the harassment of Jewish and Israeli students. The OCR concluded that, from October 7, 2023, to the present, Harvard failed to adequately respond to severe and pervasive incidents involving students and faculty that targeted individuals based on their actual or perceived Jewish or Israeli identity.

Rev. Johnnie Moore, Executive Chairman of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), on Monday night slammed the United Nations for what he called its attempts to thwart the GHF’s efforts to supply aid to the people of Gaza without benefiting Hamas.

Cu–Al–Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) are attractive for structural and functional applications due to their cost-effectiveness and shape memory behavior. This study systematically investigated the effect of beryllium (Be) addition on the phase stability, microstructure, transformation temperatures, mechanical hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear behavior of Cu–Al–Ni alloys. Alloys with Be contents ranging from 0 to 1.5 wt.% were fabricated via arc melting and subjected to thermal treatment. Characterization techniques included dilatometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), microhardness testing, potentiodynamic polarization, and pin-on-flat wear testing. The results showed that Be additions ≤ 0.4 wt.% stabilized the martensitic β′ phase, while higher concentrations favored the formation of austenitic β phase with a BCC structure. Hardness increased with Be content, especially in austenitic samples. Corrosion tests revealed that while the 0.2 wt.% Be alloy exhibited the most positive corrosion potential (Ecorr), it also had a higher corrosion rate. Overall, corrosion resistance declined with Be concentrations ≥ 0.6 wt.%. Wear tests demonstrated improved resistance in martensitic alloys, attributed to pseudoplastic deformation. These findings highlight the dual role of Be in modifying phase stability and functional properties, offering useful guidance for designing Cu-based SMAs with tailored performance.
