Helium in the Atmosphere [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1908
RECENT investigations have demonstrated the widespread presence of the inert gases in the crystalline rocks, and the Hon. R. J. Strutt has shown that while the bulk of the gases in granite consists of nitrogen, there is a small but appreciable quantity of argon and helium, the former amounting to from three to four times the latter.

How Does a Delicate Insect Wing Resist Damage? Chitin Orientation Is Adapted to the Mechanical Demands at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

CONDENSATION OF HELIUM IN WEDGES

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics B, 2007
We investigate the adsorption of helium in alkali wedges at zero temperature within a fully unrestricted density–functional theory. We have found a sequence of shapes that includes one filling transition on the nonwettable Cs and one emptying transition for every alkali, as well as a threshold for metastable configurations where helium does not ...

Colossal Cryogenic Electro‐Optic Response Through Metastability in Strained BaTiO3 Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Utilizing the thermodynamic theory of optical properties, a colossal cryogenic electro‐optic response in BaTiO3 thin films is designed and demonstrated by stabilizing a low symmetry metastable monoclinic phase via epitaxial strain tuning with an electro‐optic response reaching ≈2516 pm V−1 at 5 K. This approach represents a new paradigm for engineering
