Modeling the separation of water‐in‐oil emulsions in continuously fed gravity settlers using millifluidic experiments

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of the nΣv Approximation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In kinetic theory, the classic n Σ v approach calculates the rate of particle interactions from local quantities: the number density of particles n , the cross section Σ, and the average relative speed v .

Pancake Lenses through Curved Lamination for Compact Virtual Reality

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents an ultrathin VR optical system based on a 1.35 in. microdisplay, leveraging curved lamination technology. Compared to mainstream solutions, the proposed design demonstrates superior compactness (volume compression by 12%) and enhanced optical performance.

The First Photometric Analysis of Two Low-mass-ratio Contact Binary Systems in TESS Survey

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Low-mass-ratio ( q ) contact binary systems are progenitors of stellar mergers such as blue stragglers or fast-rotating FK Com stars. In this study, we present the first light curve analysis of two newly identified low mass-ratio contact binary systems ...

Clearing the Dust from Globular Clusters

open access: yes, 2008
Recent Spitzer observations of the globular cluster M15 detected dust associated with its intracluster medium. Surprisingly, these observations imply that the dust must be very short-lived compared to the time since the last Galactic plane crossing of ...

Modular Electronic Microrobots With Onboard Sensor‐Program‐Steered Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Modular electronic smartlet microrobots integrate ambient‐light energy harvesting, photodetection, programmable CMOS control, and bubble‐based actuation within a sub‐millimeter fold‐up architecture. A 58‐bit on‐board CMOS chiplet enables sensor–program steered switching between independently addressable actuators, achieving closed‐loop 2D navigation in

Binary Stars Take What They Get: Evidence for Efficient Mass Transfer from Stripped Stars with Rapidly Rotating Companions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Binary stars and their interactions shape the formation of compact binaries, supernovae, and gravitational-wave sources. The efficiency of mass transfer—the fraction of mass retained by the accretor during binary interaction—is a critical parameter that ...

Multiple stellar populations and their influence on blue stragglers

open access: yes, 2010
It has become clear in recent years that globular clusters are not simple stellar populations, but may host chemically distinct sub-populations, typically with an enhanced helium abundance. These helium-rich populations can make up a substantial fraction
