Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tryptophan‐like dissolved organic matter (Try‐like DOM), a key component of organic matter in river ecosystems, demonstrates significant protective effects against plant viruses. The protective mechanism operates via a “swimming firewall” mode, whereby free Try‐like DOM attenuates ultraviolet (UV) radiation and scavenges reactive oxygen species ...

Exploring Fermi's Paradox using an Intragalactic Colonization Model [PDF]
arXivWe explore Fermi's Paradox via a system of differential equations and using simulations of dispersal and interactions between competing interplanetary civilizations. To quantify the resources and potentials of these worlds, three different state variables representing population, environment, and technology, are used.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.During the mechanical crushing of retired lithium‐ion batteries, aluminum foil from current collectors may penetrate NCM active crystals through frictional contact, forming more stable Al─O bonds. The dissolution behavior of critical metals in NCM cathodes will be influenced to varying extents by different mechanisms in various hydrometallurgical ...

Geo-engineering Gone Awry: A New Partial Solution of Fermi's Paradox [PDF]
Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, vol. 57, pp.
209-215 (2004), 2003 Another partial solution of Fermi's famous paradox is proposed, based on our increased understanding of geophysics, geo-engineering and climatology. It has been claimed in the recent astrobiological literature (for instance, in the recent controversial "rare Earth" theory of Ward and Brownlee), that geological activity of a terrestrial planet is an ...

Energy Dispersion Induced Precisely Tunable Friction of Graphitic Interface
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel approach to precisely tune nanoscale friction on monolayer graphene using coupled DC/AC electric fields. Combining experiments (contact‐mode electrostatic force microscopy) and simulations (generalized Prandtl–Tomlinson model), vertical resonance is shown to disperse horizontal energy, reducing friction while preserving ...

Self‐Oscillation in Active Wires with Asymmetric Willis‐Type Viscosity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study suggests a self‐oscillation strategy enabled by a new set of material parameters, namely the asymmetric Willis‐type viscosity, to bias and independently control oscillation mode shapes as well as frequencies. The exemplified active wire can benefit the development of autonomous materials to construct soft motors, agitators, pumps, and ...
