Frequency-Based Analysis of Mosque Qibla Errors in Medan

Al-Hilal
Mosque plays a vital role in supporting the performance of prayer comfortably and solemnly. However, one of the most crucial elements in mosque construction is the accuracy of the qibla direction facing the Kaaba.

Phase‐Dependent Oxygen Defect Energetics in Epitaxial NbN/AlN/NbN Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Phase dependent oxygen defect energetics in epitaxial δ‐NbN/AlN/δ‐NbN and β‐Nb2N/AlN/β‐Nb2N trilayers. Atomic‐scale analysis and first‐principles calculations reveal distinct oxygen incorporation pathways across NbN polymorphs. Layer resolved defect formation energies show that O is energetically more favorable within δ‐NbN electrodes, whereas in β ...

Solvent Hydrogen Bonding Determines Adsorption Geometry of Trimesic Acid on Cu

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Water reorients adsorbate molecules. Combined tip‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy, density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations reveal the adsorption geometry of trimesic acid on Cu. Subtle adsorbate–substrate–solvent energy differences due to hydrogen bonding dictate molecular orientation at solid/liquid and solid/gas interfaces, providing

Atomically Modulating Competing Exchange Interactions in Centrosymmetric Skyrmion Hosts GdRu2X2 (X = Si and Ge)

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Our work bridges the gap between skyrmion discovery and material design by demonstrating how atomic‐scale control of exchange interactions enables tunable skyrmion phase transitions in centrosymmetric magnetic metals. ABSTRACT Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin states that hold promise for shaping the future of electronics.

Giant Exfoliation Induced Magnetic Coercivity in Fe3GaTe2

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical exfoliation is shown to transform the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2 from a soft into a hard magnetic system. Reducing thickness drives a crossover to single‐domain behavior, dramatically enhancing in‐plane coercivity to near–permanent‐magnet levels at room temperature.

Dry‑Contact Trimming for All‑Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells via Solid‑Solution Homogenization

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Narrow‐bandgap Sn–Pb perovskites are promising bottom absorbers for all‐perovskite tandems but suffer from Sn‐rich surfaces and depth‐dependent lattice/compositional inhomogeneity. Layered‐perovskite‐assisted dry‐contact trimming removes Sn‐rich surface species and reconfigures the Sn–Pb absorber, enabling efficient charge collection, reduced voltage ...

The astronomical orientation of the San Galgano Abbey

, 2019
San Galgano Abbey is a Cistercian abbey in Tuscany, a few kilometres from Siena. The building of its great church started in 1218. Here we show that the direction of the nave was that of the rising of the sun and of the full moon on 14 March 1218 (Julian Calendar).

A Kinetic–Energetic Bottleneck of Charge‐Transfer Injection Governs Energy Loss in Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Kinetic–energetic projection of time‐resolved photoluminescence reveals that charge‐transfer injection acts as a universal bottleneck in organic solar cells. A physics‐constrained Bayesian framework identifies an emergent effective CT injection rate governing the trade‐off between charge generation and nonradiative energy loss.
