Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Geo-neutrinos and Silicate Earth Enrichment of U and Th

, 2010
The terrestrial distribution of U, Th, and K abundances governs the thermal evolution, traces the differentiation, and reflects the bulk composition of the earth.

Enhancing Cycling Stability of Aqueous Aluminum‐Metal Batteries via LaCl3‐Modulated Interfacial Reactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the aqueous AlCl3 electrolyte of aluminum‐metal batteries, the introduction of LaCl3 adjusts the solvation structure of Al3+ and enhances its diffusion level. The oxide precipitate formed by La3+ covers the aluminum metal anode and effectively alleviates corrosion reactions, thereby improving the cycling stability of the battery.

Slab Subduction and Pull Link Magmatism at Active and Passive Continental Margins

Geophysical Research Letters
Subduction leads to voluminous arc magmatism at active continental margins; however, the potential far‐field geodynamic connections with coeval magmatism along opposing passive margins, are rarely investigated.

Stress‐Induced Melting Controlled Failure Mechanisms of Methane Hydrate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We study methane hydrate via nanoindentation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), finding its regional melting and mechanical properties, challenging existing views on hydrogen‐bonded crystals. Abstract Methane hydrate, a kind of nonstoichiometric crystalline, attracted worldwide attentions as a promising substitute energy. Its Dissociation is thought

Towards understanding how surface life can affect interior geological processes: a non-equilibrium thermodynamics approach [PDF]

Earth System Dynamics, 2011
Life has significantly altered the Earth's atmosphere, oceans and crust. To what extent has it also affected interior geological processes? To address this question, three models of geological processes are formulated: mantle convection, continental ...

Imaging the Earth's Interior: the Angular Distribution of Terrestrial Neutrinos

, 2004
Decays of radionuclides throughout the Earth's interior produce geothermal heat, but also are a source of antineutrinos. The (angle-integrated) geoneutrino flux places an integral constraint on the terrestrial radionuclide distribution. In this paper, we

The Last Stages of Terrestrial Planet Formation: Dynamical Friction and the Late Veneer [PDF]

, 2012
The final stage of terrestrial planet formation consists of the cleanup of residual planetesimals after the giant impact phase. Dynamically, a residual planetesimal population is needed to damp the high eccentricities of the terrestrial planets after the

Room‐Temperature Alane Dehydrogenation for Visible‐Light‐Driven Photocatalytic Hydrogen Supply System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In situ formed Al/MOF enables viable visible‐light‐driven photocatalytic dehydrogenation of alane (AlH3) confirming practical application. Results demonstrate that Al nanoparticles prolong lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers via localized surface plasmon resonance induced hot electron injection, while AlH3 chemisorption triggers interfacial ...

Effect of Re-impacting Debris on the Solidification of the Lunar Magma Ocean

, 2018
Anorthosites that comprise the bulk of the lunar crust are believed to have formed during solidification of a Lunar Magma Ocean (LMO) in which these rocks would have floated to the surface.
