The Journal of Materials Science awards the annual Robert W. Cahn Prize to recognize the best paper published in the journal each year. The winner of the 2023 Cahn Prize is a research paper titled "Molecular modelling of graphene nanoribbons on the effect of porosity and oxidation on the mechanical and thermal properties." The paper presents molecular simulation models of graphene nanoribbons and examines the impact of porosity and oxidation on their mechanical and thermal conductivity properties. The paper is well-written and provides valuable insights for researchers in this field. Two other papers were selected as runners-up for the prize. All the monthly finalists for the Cahn Prize can be downloaded for free on the journal's website. [Extracted from the article]

The Journal of Construction Engineering & Management has announced the recipients of the 2023 Best Paper Award. The winning paper, titled "Deep Learning Image Captioning in Construction Management: A Feasibility Study," explores the automation of deep learning for image captioning in the construction management field. The authors present a systematic approach that includes developing a linguistic schema, creating a dataset of manually captioned images, and evaluating six deep-learning methods using eight metrics. The paper concludes that a method combining two advanced deep learning processes performed the best, and that automatic captioning in construction management is feasible. The article provides valuable insights and suggestions for future development in this area. [Extracted from the article]
