Large droplet release

Droplet, EarlyView.
Curved hydrophobic mesh surfaces enable stable release of large droplets exceeding the capillary length. By tuning surface curvature, porosity, and acceleration, oscillatory breakup is suppressed, producing near‐spherical droplets ideal for high‐precision fluid applications and multiphase flow control.

Non‐monotonic jet pinch‐off induced by droplet impact on immiscible liquids

Droplet, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows the evolution of the central jet following droplet impact and summarizes the non‐monotonic dependence of the critical Weber number on the dimensionless film thickness and Ohnesorge number. Abstract Droplet impact on immiscible liquids can generate a central jet whose pinch‐off behavior plays a crucial role in many advanced ...

A New Way to Discover Strong Gravitational Lenses: Pairwise Spectroscopic Search from DESI DR1

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a new method to search for strong gravitational-lensing systems by pairing spectra that are close together on the sky in a spectroscopic survey. We visually inspect 26,621 spectra in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release

Tailoring surface structures for enhanced single‐droplet jumping condensation

Droplet, EarlyView.
Hierarchically structured superhydrophobic surfaces enable single‐droplet jumping during condensation, promoting continuous surface refreshment and enhanced heat transfer. By combining micro‐ and nano‐scale textures, the optimized design of micropillars enhances the frequency and efficiency of single‐droplet jumping events.

Velocity effects on second order contributions to gravitational frequency shift by a moving Kerr–Newman black hole

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
The significance of the radial velocity effects on the leading-order gravitational frequency shift in some special cases was reported recently. This paper investigates the gravitational shift of frequency of light propagating in the equatorial plane of a

Unveiling Bubble Dynamics of Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis at Elevated Temperatures

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This work directly visualizes bubble dynamics in a proton‐exchange membrane water electrolyzer operated at temperatures up to 120°C and pressures up to 100 bar. Elevated‐temperature operation beyond the atmospheric boiling point markedly reduces bubble coverage, leading to lower bubble‐related voltage losses and enhancing cell performance.

microJAX: A Differentiable Framework for Microlensing Modeling with GPU-accelerated Image-centered Ray Shooting

The Astrophysical Journal
We introduce microJAX , the first fully differentiable implementation of the image-centered ray shooting algorithm for gravitational microlensing. Built on JAX and its XLA just-in-time compiler, microJAX exploits GPU parallelism while providing exact ...

Gravitational lens theory

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1980
‘… imagine an observer, an isolated galaxy acting as a lens, and a quasar, nearly in a line. Two images would be formed on either side of the lens, and a third one would be formed near the center of the galaxy because the bending for central rays will be small.’ [Jerome Christian, in Physics Today, September 1980.

Cosmological Gravitational Lens Equation [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical Physics, 1993
Based on the geometric optics in curved spacetime, we investigate the validity and limitation of the cosmological gravitational lens equation in detail. We first review the conventional derivation of the lens equation which relies on an intuitive construction of the lens geometry, and point out ambiguities in the resulting formula when applied to ...

Closing the Loop in Agrivoltaics: A Radiative Cooling Coating for Synergistic Self‐Cleaning and Water Harvesting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A nanostructured photonic‐thermal coating enables radiative‐cooling‐induced condensation and water harvesting, establishing a self‐sustaining agrivoltaics microclimate loop that transforms PV panels into active climate regulators. The integration of photovoltaic (PV) panels into agricultural landscapes (i.e., agrivoltaics) offers a promising path for ...
