Strain‐Induced Density Fluctuations in Glassy Polymers

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Strain deformation induces the density fluctuations in glassy polymers, resulting in shear‐thinning behavior. ABSTRACT Deformation of glassy polymers induces plastic flow as a result of mechanical instability, ultimately leading to cavitation and fracture of the liquid. Thus, understanding the origin of such mechanical instability is crucial.

Anisotropy Analysis of Bamboo and Tooth Using 4‐Angle Polarization Micro‐Spectroscopy

Nano Select, EarlyView.
Super‐resolution via orientation: spatial distribution of specific molecular vibrations are revealed at 1/20 of the diffraction limit. ABSTRACT To investigate the anisotropic properties of biomaterials, two distinct classes are considered as follows: polymer‐based (cellulose in plants) and crystalline‐based (enamel in teeth), each demonstrating ...

Tuning the Morphology of Self‐Assembled Nanopatterns on MgO(001) Surfaces by Sequential Broad‐Beam Ion Irradiation

physica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.
A two‐step approach based on broad‐beam ion irradiation is demonstrated to produce fine‐tuned self‐assembled surface patterns on MgO(001). It shows an efficient route to modifying the crystalline MgO(001) surface topography in a controlled way, making use of its very specific behavior in terms of both the pattern morphology and patterning dynamics.

Topological‐defect‐featured order evolution of liquid crystals

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive introduction to the recent advances in the topological‐defect‐featured order evolution of liquid crystal (LCs), including the stimulus‐driven dynamics of defects in nematic LCs, topological defect morphological transformation during phase transitions, advanced strategies for regulating and applications of ...

Lowermost Mantle Flow at Thermochemical Piles Constrained by Shear Wave Anisotropy: Insights From Combined Geodynamic and Mantle Fabric Simulations at Global Scale

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Seismic anisotropy is observed in the lowermost few hundred kilometers of the mantle. This anisotropy likely signifies strong deformation, possibly caused by mantle flow interacting with the edges of Large Low‐Shear‐Velocity Provinces (LLSVPs) or by the ...

Cement Lines are Stiffer and Harder than Bone but Exhibit Different Mineral–Mechanics Relationships due to Thicker and Shorter Mineral Particles

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Bone's complex hierarchical structure contains many internal interfaces, including the cement line (CL) around osteons. This article shows that the CL is stiffer and harder than surrounding bone but has different mineral–mechanics relationships. These findings challenge the view of the CL as a soft, protective interface and provide insights for ...

Errors in reconstruction of dichroic X‐ray orientation tomography due to polarization rotation of the incident beam

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
Linear dichroic X‐ray tomography is a technique in which the linear dichroism of anisotropic materials is used to image crystal orientation in three dimensions. We show that the reconstruction of tomograms is subject to errors due to the change in polarization on propagation through the material and propose strategies for mitigating these effects ...

The First Archaeomagnetic Age at Tiwanaku and Implications for Dating Andean Metallurgical Furnaces

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first archaeomagnetic dating at Tiwanaku (Andean Altiplano). We compared the geomagnetic field values recorded by a metallurgical furnace against an updated SHAWQ2k‐SH global model and a regional intensity curve, both of which include, for the first time, high‐quality intensity data from the Southern Hemisphere.

Adaptive Sampling for BRDF Acquisition

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We propose a data‐driven adaptive sampling strategy that predicts the optimal sampling pattern and count for BRDF acquisition from a single image, reducing capture time while preserving quality. Abstract The bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) describes the ratio of incoming radiance to outgoing radiance for all possible pairs of ...
