Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...

Molecular Friction Trumps Viscosity in Angstrofluidic Transport

Small, EarlyView.
Single‐file transport through sub‐1 nm graphene nanopore and carbon nanotube is investigated using molecular dynamics and ergodic trajectory sampling. The study shows that confinement geometry and wall‐fluid interaction strength govern molecular mobility, allowing atomistic motion to be translated into a continuum‐based resistance coefficient for ...

Professionalising the Cybersystemic Practitioner: Five Decades of STiP Education at the Open University (1971–2025)

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper draws on over five decades of experience in educating and developing systems thinking practitioners at the Open University (OU) UK to explore the opportunities and challenges in the professionalisation of systems thinking in practice (STiP).

Crash Behavior of DP800–DP1000 Advanced High‐Strength Steel’s Dissimilar Resistance Spot Welded Joints Under Quasi‐static and High Strain Rates

steel research international, EarlyView.
The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...

Exploring the Landscape of MgO Polymorphs: Stability and the Electronic Band Gap of Promising Candidates

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
In this study, we have investigated possible predicted polymorphs of magnesium oxide (MgO) with respect to their thermodynamic and kinetic stability, as well as their electronic properties, focusing on the possibility of tuning the band gap of the material.

Tetragonal distortion of the multiferroic compound α‐LiFe5O8 from first‐principles calculations

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
First‐principles calculations suggest the tetragonal space group P43212 for the multiferroic compound α‐LiFe5O8, with a direct band gap smaller than that in its widely known cubic space group P4332. The tetragonal lattice distortion a > c is explained by relatively strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions parallel to the c axis and by Fe–O–Fe ...

Sharp force trauma analysis without animal bones: A proposal for sustainable and ethical bone proxies

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Sharp force trauma has been the leading cause of homicide in England and Wales for more than a decade. Experimental research on sharp force trauma frequently relies on animal bone as a substitute for human remains, yet their ethical acceptability and comparability to human bone remain contested.

3D‐printed wound channels

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Although soft tissue simulants are widely used in ballistic research, glycerine soap is the only material that offers a clear view of the temporary cavity of a wound channel without the use of optical apparatus. However, the latter still shows some inconvenience mostly on its weight and its dehydration process when cut, making it challenging ...

The Dual‐Use Conundrum of the Lisbon Treaty Regarding Space Governance: Solutions Through International Legal Interpretation?

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An inherent divide features within the Lisbon Treaty between civilian and military/security competences; something previously more obvious via the ‘pillar system's’ separations. This division follows the Member States (MS) (natural) protection of their military/defence autonomy; their core sovereign powers.

The Unintended Consequences of German Deterrence

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germany's evolving deterrence posture boils down to continued participation in NATO nuclear sharing and an ambitious conventional rearmament program. Due to its non‐nuclear status and a result of decades of underinvestment, Germany prioritizes modern conventional weapons.
