Questioning Your Brilliance in Physics: Differential Shifts in Fixed Mindsets by Grade and Gender

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Students' domain‐specific mindsets and their beliefs about their capacity to improve through effort play a crucial role in shaping their experiences and decisions to persist in STEM disciplines. Physics is generally seen as a field requiring innate brilliance, which can reinforce fixed mindsets, particularly after initial setbacks in ...

Determining impact angle from the spatial distribution of shock metamorphism: A case study of the Gosses Bluff (Tnorala) impact structure, Australia

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The majority of planetary impacts occur at oblique angles. Impact structures on Earth are commonly eroded or buried, rendering the identification of the direction and angle of impact—using methods such as asymmetries in ejecta distribution, surface topographic expression, central uplift structure, and geophysical anomalies—challenging. In this

Earth–lunar thermal effect on the temperature stability of TianQin telescope and the suppression methods

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
TianQin is a geocentric space-based gravitational wave detection mission, it will confront a more complex and variable orbital thermal environment compared to heliocentric orbit missions like LISA.

Nuclear Physics with Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars Disrupted by Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Gravitational waves from neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers that undergo tidal disruption provide a potential avenue to study the equation of state of neutron stars and hence the behavior of matter at its most extreme densities.

Confirmation of the impact origin of the Late Ordovician Tvären impact structure (southeast Sweden) and emplacement of impactites in a marine setting

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Tvären structure in southeastern Sweden has been listed as a confirmed marine‐target impact structure for decades. However, to date, no measurements and/or indexed data of planar deformation features in quartz grains from the structure have been published or any other unequivocal evidence of impact.

Exploring Einstein's Universe with Neutron Stars, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves (Free Astronomy Public Lectures)

, 2021
Einstein dreamt of a Universe in which space and time were curved by matter, and how black holes would represent the ultimate manifestations of his physics, and the possibility of a new type of radiation - gravitational waves.

Unsupervised Machine Learning for Classifying CHIME Fast Radio Bursts and Investigating Empirical Relations

The Astrophysical Journal
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are highly energetic millisecond-duration astrophysical phenomena typically categorized as repeaters or nonrepeaters. However, observational limitations may result in misclassifications, potentially leading to a higher proportion

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Orbital Eccentricity in a Neutron Star–Black Hole Merger

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging black holes and neutron stars provides a unique opportunity to discern information about their astrophysical environment. Two signatures that are considered powerful tracers to distinguish between

Thermal histories of El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155): Implications for the diversity of IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites and their parent bodies

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides the first petrographic, crystallographic, and chemical comparison between El Médano 300 (EM 300) and Northwest Africa 8155 (NWA 8155), two particular IAB‐ungrouped iron meteorites. Both contain exceptionally large graphite nodules and “flowers”, providing unique insights into carbon behavior in metallic melts and cooling ...
