A Search for the Fourth SM Family: Tevatron still has a Chance
, 2010 Existence of the fourth family follows from the basics of the Standard Model and the actual mass spectrum of the third family fermions. We discuss possible manifestations of the fourth SM family at existing and future colliders.

Lithium Intercalation in the Anisotropic Van Der Waals Semiconductor CrSBr
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We report the lithium intercalation in the layered van der Waals crystal CrSBr, revealing strongly anisotropic ion‐migration dynamics. Optical and electrical characterization of exfoliated CrSBr shows lithium diffusion coefficients that differ by more than an order of magnitude along a‐ and b‐directions, consistent with molecular dynamics simulations ...

Fossil fuels, global warming and democracy: a report from a scene of the collision [PDF]
What happens to democracy when the fossil fuel industry collides with global warming? Introduction Democracy is caught in a collision between two forces: the need to respond to global warming by cutting carbon emissions, and the demands of the fossil ...

Democratic mass matrices induced by strong gauge dynamics and large mixing angles for leptons
, 2004 We consider dynamical realization of the democratic type Yukawa coupling matrices as the Pendelton-Ross infrared fixed points.?Such fixed points of the Yukawa couplings become possible by introducing many Higgs fields, which are made superheavy but one ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study presents a new hole transporting material (HTM) mechanism for self‐assembled monolayers in near‐infrared organic photodetectors. The formation of zwitterions induces a strong electric field that significantly increases the work function of HTM‐coated indium tin oxide substrates. The devices exhibit low dark current and noise, along with high

Why the EU is failing in its neighbourhood: the case of Armenia [PDF]
, 2012 As the Arab Spring has made clear, the EU’s strategic aim of being surrounded by a ring of secure, democratic, and prosperous friends has not yet materialized. While most previous analyses have found fault with inconsistent application of conditionality,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Photothermal, macroporous lignin‐based cryogels are engineered to convert sunlight into low‐grade heat. Integrated as stacked beds in a drum‐type device, a thin copper interlayer transfers waste heat between beds, enabling interlayer heat recovery and continuous solar cycling.

THE EU DEMOCRACY PROMOTION UNDER SCRUTINY: THE DOUBLE STANDARDS IN THE CASE OF BELARUS AND AZERBAIJAN [PDF]
EURINT, 2016 Since the change of context in which the EU operates, democracy promotion has become a tool to ensure stability in the region. This article examines how the EU engages in democracy promotion with special case countries such as Belarus and Azerbaijan.
