Multilayer Cellulose Acetate–Viscose Films for Bio‐Based, Bio‐Degradable Packaging Applications

Packaging Technology and Science, EarlyView.
Cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose foils stick together comprehensively after mild cellulose sodium hydroxide treatment and heated compression. For combined foils, water barrier properties correlate with CA thickness. Oxygen permeation suffers due to the sodium hydroxide pre‐treatment induced foil changes. The composite represents a biodegradable and

Observations of counter-streaming ions in and around the diamagnetic cavity of comet 67P

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Ion speeds at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko significantly exceed local neutral gas speeds, a discrepancy that challenges current ion-neutral coupling models.

Sampling, Mobility, and Anchoring in Small‐Body Sampling Robots: A Comprehensive Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐body sampling robots are exploration systems that perform contact, sampling, and stable operations on microgravity bodies such as asteroids and comets. The authors review representative robot architectures and key technologies, focusing on the mechanisms, evolution, and coupling of sampling, mobility, and anchoring.

Search for the True Parent Body of the Phoenicid Meteor Shower

The Astronomical Journal
In 2024, Ďurišová et al. found that the meteor shower Phoenicids, IAU No. 254, code PHO, can originate in the nuclei of three comets, 46P/Wirtanen, 104P/Kowal 2, and 289P/Blanpain.

Aligning Real‐Time Recurrence Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations with Plant Data for the Ruhrstahl–Heraeus Degassing Process of Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Uncertainties exist in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of complex metallurgical processes, even when partly validated by laboratory experiments. rCFD enables computationally efficient prediction of long‐term RH degassing and can be adapted to vary flow conditions.

Solar Sail Optimal Performance in Heliocentric Nodal Flyby Missions

Aerospace
Solar sails are propellantless propulsion systems that extract momentum from solar radiation pressure. They consist of a large ultrathin membrane, typically aluminized, that reflects incident photons from the Sun to generate thrust for space navigation ...

A Thermodynamic‐Kinetic Model for Basic Oxygen Furnace Tapping: Improved Prediction of Phosphorus and Steel‐Slag Evolution

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study develops a thermodynamic–kinetic model for basic oxygen furnace tapping and validates its accuracy under near‐equilibrium and far‐from‐equilibrium initial conditions. Comparison with a reference model demonstrates its broader applicability. The model further reveals the evolution of key steel and slag components, providing new transparency ...

Model‐Based Systems Engineering in Space Applications: A Comprehensive Literature Review

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing complexity of space engineering is driving the demand to embrace the adoption of Model‐Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Although the MBSE is well‐practiced in the space industry, the level of effort and need required to obtain the benefits of MBSE vastly differ across enterprises; this disparity presents a significant challenge to
