MHD simulations of jet-launching from diffusive magnetized accretion disks

, 2013
We investigate the launching process of jets from accretion disks by means of axisymmetric MHD simulations. Here, we present results of numerical MHD simulations investigating how magnetic diffusivity and numerical resolution may ...

The Distinctive Evolution and Spectral Energy Distribution of Binary Massive Black Hole Accretion

The Astrophysical Journal
Binary (super-)massive black holes (BHs) are expected to reside in the center of some galaxies. In this work, we revisit accretion onto binary massive BHs, incorporating recent advances in both accretion theory and the mass transfer rate between the two ...

Double-hump spectrum, pulse profile dip, and pulsed fraction spectra from the low-accretion regime in the X-ray pulsar MAXI J0655-013

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) undergo different physical regimes depending on different mass accretion rates, with related changes in the emitted X-ray spectral properties.

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Planet Formation Regulated by Galactic-scale Interstellar Turbulence

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Planet formation occurs over a few Myr within protoplanetary disks of dust and gas, which are often assumed to evolve in isolation. However, extended gaseous structures have been uncovered around many protoplanetary disks, suggestive of late-stage infall

Accretion Disks in the Sub-Stellar Realm: Properties and Evolution

, 2009
It is now well established that young brown dwarfs harbor accretion disks –and thus undergo a T Tauri phase– similar to their low-mass stellar counterparts.

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

An Integrated Oxygen‐Supplying Device and Predictive Multiphysics Model for Extended Ambient Transport of Insulin‐Producing Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cell therapies typically rely on cold‐chain logistics and cryopreservation, limiting access and compromising cell quality. Here, a dual‐chamber device separates an oxygen‐supplying chamber from a hyaluronic acid cargo chamber, sustaining oxygen delivery for over 70 h and enabling ambient‐temperature shipment.
