Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Ceramic‐based V2O5/Fe3O4 hybrid films are shaped into butterfly‐proboscis‐inspired microscroll actuators. Magnetic triggering initiates unrolling, while geometry‐programmed elastic strain energy drives rapid recoil, enabling fast, reversible, durable, and load‐bearing actuation under near‐field magnetic stimulation.

Influence of shear on rheology of the crude oil treated by flow improver
Energy Reports, 2019 Because the influence of shear on the rheology of waxy crude oil must be considered according to the composition and structure of the waxy crude oil transported via pipeline when a new pipeline is constructed, the risks associated with changes in the ...

Decomposing Crude Price Differentials: Domestic Shipping Constraints or the Crude Oil Export Ban?
, 2017 Over the past five years the U.S. domestic crude benchmark, WTI, diverged considerably from its foreign counterpart, Brent. Some studies pointed to the crude oil export ban as the main culprit for this divergence, but pipeline capacity was also scarce ...

Defect‐Templated Phase Engineering in Atomically Thin Metals
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Graphene defects are transformed from passive imperfections into programmable templates for phase‐selective growth of atomically thin silver. Plasma‐generated boundary defects favor Ag(1), whereas sp3‐rich zero‐layer graphene promotes Ag(2). This defect‐directed intercalation links local graphene chemistry to crystalline phase, electronic structure ...
