Impact of Valley Degeneracy on Thermoelectric Properties of Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons with Staggered Sublattice Potentials and Transverse Electric Fields [PDF]
arXivThis study investigates the band inversion of flat bands in zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) using a tight-binding model. The band inversion results from symmetry breaking in the transverse direction, achievable through deposition on specific substrates such as separated silicon carbide or hexagonal boron nitride sheets.

Frozen by Heating: Temperature Controlled Dynamic States in Droplet Microswimmers
Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 15, April 16, 2025.In the design of smart materials based on active agents or microswimmers, the gaits or motile states of the agents are to be controlled, preferably by external parameters that do not require modifying the composition of the system. A facile, universal parameter is temperature.

MX precipitate behavior in an irradiated advanced Fe-9Cr steel: Helium effects on phase stability [PDF]
arXivPrecipitates are main microstructural features to provide high temperature creep strength and radiation resistance in structural materials for fusion energy systems. However, the mechanisms of precipitate stability under irradiation in candidate structural materials for fusion first-wall and blanket components are poorly understood.

ICBM community cancer registry analysis: a focus on Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma cases in missileers [PDF]
arXivThis study investigates the incidence and age at diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) among missileers stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB) compared to national benchmarks. The analysis was motivated by reports of elevated cancer diagnoses within the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) community, specifically targeting NHL cases due to

The Hermean Helium Exosphere—Continuous and Sporadic Helium Release Processes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.Abstract Since its detection by Mariner 10, helium has been a key focus in studies of Mercury's exosphere. Recently, Weichbold et al. (2025), https://doi.org/10.1029/2024je008679 provided the first in situ helium measurements, inferring density from Ion Cyclotron Wave (ICW) events observed by the MESSENGER spacecraft.
