An Ultrapotent, Ultraeconomical, Antifreeze Polypeptide

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Simple and inexpensive polypeptides composed of random copolymers of alanine and glutamic acid are effective antifreezes for applications in foods and biomedicine. The polypeptides, inspired by natural extremophile proteins, inhibit the growth of large ice crystals and prevent damage to sensitive biologics.

The Peak Flux of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Ep,i–Liso Diagram and in the Classification

The Astrophysical Journal
The E _p,i – L _iso correlation of long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) is regarded as a fundamental correlation for standardizing LGRBs to probe cosmology and constrain LGRB physics.

Harnessing Photo‐Energy Conversion in Nanomaterials for Precision Theranostics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing photo‐energy conversion in nanomaterials enables precision theranostics through light‐driven mechanisms such as photoluminescence, photothermal, photoelectric, photoacoustic, photo‐triggered surface‐enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and photodynamic processes. This review explores six fundamental principles of photo‐energy conversion, recent

Multiwavelength Analysis of the Supernova-associated Low-luminosity GRB 171205A

The Astrophysical Journal
Multiwavelength properties of the nearby supernova (SN)-associated low-luminosity GRB 171205A are investigated in depth to constrain its physical origin synthetically. The pulse width is found to be correlated with energy with a power-law index of −0.24 ±

The birth of black holes: neutron star collapse times, gamma-ray bursts and fast radio bursts [PDF]

, 2014
Recent observations of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) suggest that binary neutron star (NS) mergers can create highly magnetised, millisecond NSs. Sharp cut-offs in X-ray afterglow plateaus of some SGRBs hint at the gravitational collapse of these ...

Beyond Conventional Cooling: Advanced Micro/Nanostructures for Managing Extreme Heat Flux

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines the design, application, and manufacturing of biomimetic or engineered micro/nanostructures for managing high heat‐flux in multi‐level electronics by enhancing conductive, convective, phase‐changing, and radiative heat transfer mechanisms, highlighting their potential for efficient, targeted thermal management, and future prospects.

Significant Cocoon Emission and Photosphere Duration Stretching in GRB 211211A: A Burst from a Neutron Star−Black Hole Merger

The Astrophysical Journal
The radiation mechanism (thermal photosphere or magnetic synchrotron) and the progenitor of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are under hot debate. Recently discovered, the prompt long-duration (∼10 s, normally from the collapse of massive stars) property of GRB ...

Gamma ray bursts: A review of recent high-precision measurements [PDF]

Recent measurements and discoveries in gamma ray bursts and transients are reviewed including observations of the red shifted annihilation line in two kinds of slow transients (in 'classical' gamma ray bursts and in the unique 1979 March 5th event); of ...

GAMMA-RAY BURSTS ARE OBSERVED OFF-AXIS [PDF]

, 2014
We constrain the jet opening angle and, for the first time, the off-axis observer angle for gamma-ray bursts in the Swift-XRT catalog by using the ScaleFit package to fit afterglow light curves directly to hydrodynamic simulations.

Recent Advances in Reactive Microdroplets for Clean Water and Energy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Reactive microdroplets enable precise and sustainable chemistry at small scales. This review explores their role as confined reactors and dynamic interfaces for synthesizing functional materials, fuels, and microdevices. It offers a critical perspective on how droplet‐based platforms can drive next‐generation technologies in clean energy, environmental
