Cluster-induced crater formation

, 2008
Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study the crater volumes induced by energetic impacts ($v= 1- 250$ km/s) of projectiles containing up to N=1000 atoms.

Volcano‐Inspired Dual‐Carbon Network Aerogel for High‐Performance Solar Evaporation With Edge‐Directed Salt Crystallization and Recovery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A volcano‐inspired dual‐carbon aerogel featuring hierarchical conduits and an outer carbon‐fiber shell directs rapid water transport, confines heat, and enables directional salt migration. Radial temperature gradients in the conical structure trigger Marangoni‐driven edge‐localized salt crystallization while maintaining an unobstructed photothermal ...

Ultra‐Low Intensity Continuous Wave Laser Ablation Propulsion With Graphene‐Engineered Wood

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene delignified wood converts continuous wave laser energy into thrust. Laser propulsion experiments in vacuum reveal the lowest laser ablation threshold intensities and the greatest density‐normalized specific impulse in literature. The results highlight graphene delignified wood as a potential efficient, sustainable, strong, and lightweight ...

Impact Flux on the Moon

Space: Science & Technology
The crust of the Moon records the complete history of collisions by different-sized projectiles from various sources since its early solidification. Planetary bodies in the inner Solar System experienced similar sources of impactors, and the Moon is an ...

Morphological Indicators of a Mascon Beneath Ceres's Largest Crater, Kerwan

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
Gravity data of Ceres returned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Dawn spacecraft is consistent with a lower density crust of variable thickness overlying a higher density mantle. Crustal thickness variations can affect the long‐term,

Unveiling the High‐Voltage Reactivity and Gas Evolution With Aluminum‐Based Chloride and Oxychloride Catholytes in Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
The work examines the electrochemical and interfacial behaviors of crystalline NaAlCl4 and amorphous Na–Al–oxychloride solid electrolytes with NaNi0.5Mn0.5O2 cathodes. Operando gas evolution and ToF‐SIMS analyses highlight that pure chloride solid electrolytes offer greater interfacial stability and safety compared to the oxychloride solid electrolytes

Formation of Craters in Sand

International Scholastic Journal of Science, 2007
The diameter of craters formed by spheres of varying mass dropped into sand at low speed was studied. The relationship between the diameter of the crater formed and the kinetic energy of the projectile at impact was found to be of the same general form ...

3D anatomy of the Cretaceous–Paleogene age Nadir Crater

Communications Earth & Environment
The Nadir Crater offshore West Africa is a recently proposed near K-Pg impact structure identified on 2D seismic. Here we present 3D seismic data that image this crater in exceptional detail, unique for any such structure, which demonstrates beyond ...
