Above Room Temperature Ferroelectricity in Epitaxially Strained KTaO3

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Through precise epitaxial engineering, the cubic and paraelectric KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ is transformed into a robust ferroelectric. By leveraging lattice‐mismatched substrates to apply controlled epitaxial strain, a stable ferroelectric ground‐state is achieved with a transition temperature as high as 475 K, establishing KTaO3${\rm KTaO}_3$ as a highly ...

Specific Position of Halogen in Crystalline TADF Scintillators Enables Efficient Triplet Harvesting Through Vibrational Modulation of Spin–Orbit Coupling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Specific ortho‐halogenation transforms crystalline TADF emitters into efficient organic scintillators. Fluorine reduces the effective singlet–triplet separation, while chlorine combines near‐degenerate excited states with vibrational modulation of spin–orbit coupling.

A Proposal for Enhancing Technosignature Search toward the Galactic Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We discuss the possibility of enhancing intelligent life searches toward the Galactic center. From the clockwork orbital motions of stars around the Sgr A* black hole, we can determine the distance to the Galactic center at an exceptional accuracy ...

Multi‐Stimuli Responsive Angstrom‐Scale Two‐Dimensional Channels of Natural Layered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Å‐scale ion channels naturally formed within the interlayers of vermiculite clay enable ionic current modulation in response to mechanical, chemical, and electrical stimuli. Coupled pressure and electric fields induce reversible streaming current (Istream) polarity inversion, which is explained by a modified surface charge regulation model.

The Impact of Supermassive Black Holes on Exoplanet Habitability. I. Spanning the Natural Mass Range

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
While the influence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity on habitability has garnered attention, the specific effects of active galactic nucleus (AGN) winds, particularly ultrafast outflows (UFOs), on planetary atmospheres remain largely unexplored.

Dynamic Electrophoretic Assembly Coupled With Water‐Splitting‐Induced pH Control Enables Precision Ion Sieving Membranes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A green, external‐catalyst‐free route grows defect‐free covalent organic framework membranes directly on ion‐exchange supports using an alternating electric field and in situ‐generated acid. Through a self‐regulating, self‐healing mechanism, the membranes achieve near‐complete, ultra‐fast separation of monovalent ions such as Li+, Na+, and K+, offering

The Core Mass Function across Galactic Environments. IV. The Galactic Center

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The origin of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) and how it may vary with galactic environment is a matter of debate. Certain star formation theories involve a close connection between the IMF and the core mass function (CMF), so it is important to ...

Poly(Alkoxythiophene) Rod‐Coil Block Copolymers for Organic Electrochemical Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We present the first synthesis of poly(3‐alkoxythiophene) rod‐coil block copolymers as a new architecture for OMIECs. Incorporating PEG and PLLA coils can enhance device performance beyond the homopolymer. The figure‐of‐merit depends uniquely on coil length.

On the origin and evolution of life in the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A simple stochastic model for evolution, based upon the need to pass a sequence of n critical steps is applied to both terrestrial and extraterrestrial origins of life. In the former case, the time at which humans have emerged during the habitable period

THE GALACTIC CENTER IS ALIVE

open access: yes, 2011
The center of our Galaxy provides a uniquely accessible laboratory. It is a rich environment of extreme density, velocity and tidal fields of stars. It is the closest example of a galactic nucleus and could give the opportunity to understand the role ...
