Gravitational Lens Time Delays Using Polarization Monitoring
Galaxies, 2017 Gravitational lens time delays provide a means of measuring the expansion of the Universe at high redshift (and therefore in the ‘Hubble flow’) that is independent of local calibrations.

Self-consistent gravitational lens reconstruction [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 We present a new method for directly determining accurate, self-consistent cluster lens mass and shear maps in the strong lensing regime from the magnification bias of background galaxies. The method relies upon pixellisation of the surface mass density distribution which allows us to write down a simple, solvable set of equations.

Amphibious Movement of Microrobots Inspired by Water Spiders
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by the water strider, a novel microrobot is designed to maintain amphibious mobility in complex environments. It retains the ability to traverse the air‐liquid interface and perform directional movement within sophisticated, multifaceted environments, including complex gastric wall structures, with precise controllability.

IMAGES DISTRIBUTION OF BINARY SYMMETRICAL GRAVITATIONAL LENS
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2019 In this paper, we study the distribu- tion of images from a point source in N - point gravi- tational lenses. It is well known that in a Schwarzschild lens (N = 1) from a point source, there are always two images.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 We present new light curves for the four bright images of the five image cluster-lensed quasar gravitational lens system SDSS J1004+4112. The light curves span 14.5 yr and allow the measurement of the time delay between the trailing bright quasar image D

Galaxy mergers and gravitational lens statistics [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1994 We investigate the impact of hierarchical galaxy merging on the statistics of gravitational lensing of distant sources. Since no definite theoretical predictions for the merging history of luminous galaxies exist, we adopt a parametrized prescription, which allows us to adjust the expected number of pieces comprising a typical present galaxy at z=0.65.

Polydopamine‐Wool Textiles for Sustainable Interfacial Solar Vapor Generation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A natural wool textile engineered for high solar absorbance and a fast‐wicking structure serves as a highly efficient, single‐layer system for interfacial solar vapor generation (ISVG). This integrated evaporator seamlessly couples rapid water transport with continuous evaporation. Ultimately, this sustainable photothermal design offers a scalable, eco‐

Gravitational lens interference
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 The consequence of the existence, when a lens is present, of two propagation paths from a source to the observer is investigated. Attention is focused on quasars as background sources; however, the results received are general and apply to pulsars and stellar sources as well. 12 refs.

Scattering of gravitational waves by the weak gravitational fields of lens objects [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 We consider the scattering of the gravitational waves by the weak gravitational fields of lens objects. We obtain the scattered gravitational waveform by treating the gravitational potential of the lens to first order, i.e. using the Born approximation.
