Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

Selective Electrolysis of Water Under Artificial Seawater Conditions Using Transition Metal Borate Anodes

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The borate‐based cobalt‐iron catalyst promotes selective oxidation of water rather than chlorine evolution reaction during electrolysis of seawater. When integrated into a zero‐gap electrolyzer prototype, this catalyst supports robust splitting of artificial seawater into oxygen and hydrogen on an extended timescale.

Vulnerability of solar energy infrastructure and output to extreme events: Climate change implications (Conference paper) [PDF]

, 2010
This paper explores the potential vulnerability of solar energy systems to future extreme event risks as a consequence of climate change. We describe the three main technologies likely to be used to harness sunlight -- thermal heating, photovoltaic (PV),

Investigation of Moisture‐Induced Degradation Mechanisms and a Reviving Strategy for Sulfide‐Based Solid Electrolytes in All‐Solid‐State Composite Cathode

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Moisture exposure induces the formation of reductive solid phases on argyrodite Li6PS5Cl, which destabilize Ni‐rich cathodes by extracting lattice oxygen and inducing surface reconstruction. A brief oxygen‐assisted annealing treatment quenches these reductive phases, restores interfacial stability, and enables effective regeneration and reuse of ...

Effect of Laser Posterior Nasal Neurolysis for the Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To determine the safety and efficacy of laser ablation of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) for the treatment of chronic rhinitis. Methods This study was a single‐center, prospective, single‐blinded, randomized sham‐controlled trial. Patients with a 24‐h reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) ≧ 5, rhinorrhea ≧ 2, and congestion ≧
