Natural laminar flow nacelle for transport aircraft [PDF]

The potential of laminar flow nacelles for reducing installed engine/nacelle drag was studied. The purpose was twofold: to experimentally verify a method for designing laminar flow nacelles and to determine the effect of installation on the extent of ...

All Solid Lithium Metal‐Polymer Battery End‐of‐Life: an Investigation of Symmetric, Battery, and Bilayer Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, the evolution of the lithium (Li)/polymer interface is compared in a realistic pouch cell configuration, either in Li/Li symmetric cell or in full Li/LiFePO4${\rm LiFePO}_4$ batteries thanks to X‐ray micro‐tomography. While Li/Li symmetric cells are the reference cell for probing the interface stability, results demonstrated that the end‐

Enhancement of Calcium Ion Permeation via Resonant Coupling of Ion and Terahertz Waves in Voltage Gated Calcium Channels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a novel, ion‐targeted strategy to enhance calcium permeation in voltage gated calcium channels. By directly driving the ions’ coherent collective motion via resonant coupling with a 1.65 THz field, we lower the inter‐site energy barrier, inducing a statistically significant enhancement of ion influx.

Combining the Pitcher and Lotus Plant: Supericephobic and Superhydrophobic Silicone Films

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on bench‐top nanomolding of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with optimized silicone oil content, we developed hierarchically structured silicone films by essentially combining the properties of the lotus and pitcher plant; particularly we are able to achieve water contact angle as high as 171° and ice adhesion strength as low as 11.5 kPa (i.e ...
