Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

АSTERISM AND CONSTELLATION: TERMINOLOGICAL DILEMMAS

Zbornik Radova: Geografski institut "Jovan Cvijić", 2017
In contemporary astronomical literature, there is no uniform definition of the term asterism. This inconsistency is the consequence of differences between traditional understanding of the term constellation, from the standpoint of the naked eye astronomy,

Characterisation of red-giant stars in the public Kepler data

, 2011
The first public release of long-cadence stellar photometric data collected by the NASA Kepler mission has now been made available. In this paper we characterise the red-giant (G-K) stars in this large sample in terms of their solar-like oscillations. We

Self‐Powered Flexible Triboelectric‐Gated Ion‐Gel Transistor for Neuromorphic Tactile Sensing and Human Activity Recognition

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A fully flexible ion‐gel‐gated graphene‐channel transistor driven by a triboelectric nanogenerator enables self‐powered tactile sensing and synaptic learning. Mimicking spike‐rate‐dependent plasticity, the device exhibits frequency‐selective potentiation and depression, supporting rate‐coded neuromorphic computation even under flex.

"We make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars": a semantic mapping of Shakespeare's astronomical language

Anuario de Estudios Filológicos
Shakespeare’s language has been studied and analysed for centuries, including monographs on the most disparate semantic fields –such as botany, geography, commerce, etc. In this regard, astronomical language is no exception.

The Term “Space Object” and its Legal Status [PDF]

Advanced Space Law, 2018
Modern studies in space require clarification of the term of “space object.” Because, for example, the ontology of the term of “space object” can be considered a) as from the point of view of astronomical approaches that include astrophysical identifiers,

Photon orbital angular momentum and torque metrics for single telescopes and interferometers

, 2012
Context. Photon orbital angular momentum (POAM) is normally invoked in a quantum mechanical context. It can, however, also be adapted to the classical regime, which includes observational astronomy. Aims.

Anomalous Spin‐Optical Helical Effect in Ti‐Based Kagome Metal

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The kagome lattice hosts diverse correlated quantum states, including elusive loop currents. We report spin‐handedness selective signals in CsTi3Bi5, termed the anomalous spin‐optical helical effect, surpassing conventional spin responses. Arising from light helicity coupled to spin‐orbital correlations, this effect provides a sensitive, indirect probe
