Fully Printed Electrocaloric Heat Pump

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A system based on a flexible printed PEDOT:PSS/P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) electrocaloric membrane. The membrane periodically alternates between the cold and hot sides following its electrocaloric cycle and successfully generates a temperature difference. The entire fabrication process is industrially scalable, cost‐effective, and based on widely accessible ...

Long‐Lived Anticyclonic Eddies Facilitate Convection in the Greenland Sea Over Multiple Consecutive Winters

Geophysical Research Letters
Wintertime open‐ocean convection is a key process in renewing deep water; however, the processes that promote convection on local scale remain poorly understood. We investigate the role of long‐lived anticyclonic eddies in facilitating deep convection in

Observed Modulation of the Tropical Radiation Budget by Deep Convective Organization and Lower‐Tropospheric Stability

AGU Advances, 2020
This study analyzes the observed monthly deseasonalized and detrended variability of the tropical radiation budget and suggests that variations of the lower‐tropospheric stability and of the spatial organization of deep convection both strongly ...

Thickness‐Dependent Infrared Emissivity of Ultrathin Freestanding MoSiN Nanocomposite Membranes

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metals and dielectrics show opposite trends in thickness‐dependent infrared emissivity: metallic films exhibit a rise in emissivity below a critical thickness, while dielectric films show a corresponding decline. For applications demanding both high emissivity and mechanical strength in membranes with nanoscale thickness, combining these ...

Atmospheric convection, dynamics and topography shape the scaling pattern of hourly rainfall extremes with temperature globally

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
In regions with deep convection, persistent large-scale dynamics and complex orography, hourly rainfall extremes diverge from expectations from the atmosphere’s water holding capacity, suggests a global analysis of station data, reanalyses and convection-

Modification of the lithospheric stress field by lateral variations in plate-mantle coupling [PDF]

, 2009
The presence of deeply penetrating continental roots may locally increase the magnitude of basal shear tractions by up to a factor of 4 compared to a layered viscosity structure.

On–Off Switchable Micromotors for Use in Steerable Microvehicles

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Electrically controllable micromotors and microvehicles are developed by tuning the diffusion of the fuel. Self‐propelled micromotors using bubble propulsion show great promise for miniaturized devices with multiuse purposes such as cargo delivery and sensing. However, there is currently no method to electrically switch the micromotors on or off. Here,

Influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on upper tropospheric humidity [PDF]

, 2002
Variations of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) and cold cloud in the tropics reveal coherent changes that propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. The coherence of UTH is high at periods of 30–90 days along the equator.

Magnetic Micro‐ and Nanorobots for Precision Thrombolysis: Design Strategies and Translational Challenges

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nanorobots for targeted thrombolysis. This perspective elaborates on the clinical indication of blood clot disorders and current limitations for treatment. As a novel, alternative solution, micro‐ and nanorobots can be used to treat and break down thrombi.
