Searching for Short-Timescale Transients in Gamma-ray Telescope Data
Galaxies, 2023 Astrophysical sources show variability in their emissions over a range of timescales, with transients such as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and magnetar giant flares (MGFs) showing variability on timescales as short as a few milliseconds.

Fast Neutron Detector Based on Hybrid 2D Perovskite Thin Films
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work presents the direct detection of fast neutrons using flexible hybrid 2D perovskite (PEA2PbBr4) thin‐film detectors. Thanks to their high low‐Z elements content and good charge transport, these materials enable efficient neutron detection. The thin film configuration allowed the operation at low voltage, and offer scalability, flexibility, and

The purpose of astronomy [PDF]
Vistas Astron. 39 (1995) 315, 1995 This is a presentation of the purpose of astronomy in the context of modern society. After exposing two misconceptions about astronomy, I detail its role in five domains, certified knowledge, incorporated abilities, innovations, collective goods, and popular science; with each domain is associated an institution, an incentive, and a method of ...

Chemo‐Mechanical Coupling in Hydrogels: Dynamics in the Diffusion‐Limited Regime
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A time‐dependent continuum model is developed to capture the transient swelling dynamics of chemo‐mechanical hydrogels. By coupling chemical reactions, solvent transport, and polymer deformation, volume phase transitions, reaction kinetics, and transient mechanical instabilities are analyzed.

Manipulating Ferroelectric Topological Polar Structures with Twisted Light
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We demonstrate dynamic control of ferroelectric order in quasi‐2D CsBiNb2O7 using twisted ultraviolet light carrying orbital angular momentum. Our approach harnesses non‐resonant multiphoton absorption and induced strain to modulate topological of ferroelectric polarization textures.

Ultrafast Laser Synthesis of Zeolites
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The study presents a novel ultrafast laser‐driven synthesis technique for zeolites directly in liquid. Laser pulses create a microscopic reactor that controls reaction kinetics at femto‐ and picosecond timescales. Nonlinear light‐matter interactions drive nucleation and growth, allowing the process to be paused at any stage of self‐assembly.
