An Ion‐Based Strategy Toward Synergistic Surface Functionalization Combining the Osteogenic Properties and NIR‐Mediated Antibacterial Activity of PEEK

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional bioactive PEEK‐based implant (Mn@p/MBG‐SPEEK) is engineered to combat implant‐associated infections while promoting osteogenesis. The hybrid surface activates PI3K/Akt/mTOR and AP‐1 signaling pathways for osteogenic differentiation, while Mn coordination induces electronic coupling that narrows the HOMO‐LUMO energy gap and enhances ...

Intermediate-mass Black Holes in Dwarf Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Supermassive black holes are the central engines of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and are thought to lie at the heart of many massive galaxies. It is currently uncertain, however, whether AGN exist in low-mass dwarf galaxies, and if they do, whether they ...

Collapse of Rotating Very Massive Stellar Cores Leading to a Black Hole and a Massive Disk as a Source of Gravitational Waves

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We derive models of rotating very massive stellar cores with mass ≈10 ^2 –10 ^4 M _⊙ that are marginally stable to the pair-unstable collapse, assuming that the core is isentropic and composed primarily of oxygen.

Entropy of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes

open access: yes, 2009
Observational searches for Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs), defined to have masses between 30 and 300,000 solar masses, provide limits which allow up to ten percent of what is presently identified as halo dark matter to be in the form of IMBHs.

Field‐Programmed Anisotropy in Magneto‐Piezoelectric Composites for Material‐Encoded Mechanoperception

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...

Geometry of black holes and braneworlds in higher dimensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This tliesis first discusses braneworld models, we explain how the bulk geometry in codimension 2 scenarios restricts braneworld fields in a way inconsistent with observation.

Enhanced Extreme Mass Ratio Inspiral Rates into Intermediate Mass Black Holes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) occur when stellar-mass compact objects begin a gravitational wave (GW) driven inspiral into massive black holes. EMRI waveforms can precisely map the surrounding spacetime, making them a key target for future space ...

From Young Massive Clusters to Old Globular Clusters: Density Profile Evolution and Intermediate-mass Black Hole Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The surface brightness profiles of globular clusters are conventionally described with the well-known King profile. However, observations of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the local Universe suggest that they are better fit by simple models with flat ...

Decoupling Activation and Preservation: Architectural Design Principles of Organic Frameworks for Selective Photocatalytic Methane Oxidation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Selective methane (CH4) photooxidation emerges from architectural decoupling of activation and preservation. Programmable organic semiconductor frameworks spatially organize oxidative flux and intermediate residence, separating reaction zones from product domains to synchronize activation strength with stabilization and establish a selective oxidation ...

The Black Hole Spin Controversy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Astrophysical black holes are the simplest possible objects. They are completely described by only two parameters in general relativity, their mass and the specific angular momentum, spin.
