Mergers via failed common envelope as a route toward intermediate-mass stripped stars

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Stripped stars are a common product of binary stellar systems, spanning a wide mass range from Wolf-Rayet stars to hot subdwarfs and helium white dwarfs.

Diverse Landscape of Tunable Magnetic, Topological, and Ferroelectric States in 2D Ti3Se3Te2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ti3Se3Te2 emerges as a multifunctional 2D van der Waals platform. The monolayer is a dynamically stable ferromagnetic quantum anomalous Hall insulator. In bilayers, two stacking configurations yield distinct phases: AA‐stacking hosts an altermagnetic quantum spin Hall insulator, while AA′‐stacking exhibits three‐state in‐plane ferroelectricity ...

Wireless, Adaptable and Fully Implantable Battery‐powered Devices for Optical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord in Small Rodents

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current technologies for spinal cord optogenetic stimulation rely on external power sources and face reliability constraints in freely behaving animals. Here, a fully implantable, battery‐powered optoelectronic device is introduced, enabling operation in any selected environment with wireless recharging for months‐long stimulation.

Searching for Variability in the Blue Straggler Star Region of the Globular Cluster NGC 6397

The Astronomical Journal
We studied stellar variability in the subgiant branch and blue straggler stars region of the globular cluster NGC 6397. The aim of this research is to identify and characterize new short-period, low-amplitude variable stars.

Engineering Neuronal Network Connectivity Through Precise and Scalable Electrical Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a scalable all‐electrical method for precise neuronal‐circuit reconfiguration based on high‐density microelectrode arrays. By employing biologically inspired plasticity rules, targeted connectivity changes were successfully induced and quantified across diverse neuronal preparations.

A Flexible Metamaterial Absorber via Loss Engineering for Large‐Area Ultra‐Broadband Infrared Extinction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Designed and demonstrated a flexible metamaterial absorber via loss engineering for large‐area ultra‐broadband infrared extinction, providing a new method for miniaturization of absorbers and flexible optical devices. ABSTRACT The advancement of compact and wearable optical systems is critically limited by the lack of high‐performance, integrable ...

The Power of High-precision Broadband Photometry: Tracing the Milky Way Density Profile with Blue Horizontal Branch Stars in the Dark Energy Survey

The Astrophysical Journal
Blue horizontal branch stars (BHBs), excellent distant tracers for probing the Milky Way’s halo density profile, are distinguished in the ${\left(g-r\right)}_{0}$ versus ( i − z ) _0 color space from another class of stars, blue straggler stars.

TRIM: Simultaneous Thermometry, Ranging, and Imaging via a Monolithic Metalens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While metasurfaces offer a pathway beyond the discrete architectures of conventional LWIR systems, physically fusing high‐precision thermometry and passive ranging onto a single metalens remains a formidable challenge. Here, we demonstrate a monolithic, dual‐focus metalens capable of simultaneous multidimensional sensing.

Mass-luminosity anomalies: Plausible evidence of recent stellar interaction in the extraordinary blue straggler S1082

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. We present an observational and theoretical study of the complex stellar system S1082 in the open cluster M67. This system consists of at least four stars: a blue straggler in a 1.07-day eclipsing binary with a main sequence star (binary A) and ...
