Electrospun Wood‐Derived Biopolymers as Electrodes in Electrochemical Energy Storage Technologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Electrospinning transforms wood‐derived cellulose and lignin into architecturally defined, binder‐free carbon electrodes with tuneable porosity and functionality. This review shows how fibre design enables decoupled charge and mass transport, enhancing performance across battery systems, while identifying key challenges in spinnability, scalability ...

Unconditional jetting [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2008
Capillary jetting of a fluid dispersed into another immiscible phase is usually limited by a critical Capillary number, a function of the Reynolds number and the fluid properties ratios. Critical conditions are set when the minimum spreading velocity of small perturbations $v^*_-$ along the jet (marginal stability velocity) is zero.

From Photoalignment to Structured Light: Liquid Crystal Platforms for Beam Shaping and Complex Wavefronts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photoaligned and photopatterned liquid crystal platforms provide programmable control of optical phase, polarization, and spin‐orbit interactions, enabling compact generation of structured light and complex wavefronts. This review highlights how tailored molecular orientations transform simple beams into designed optical fields, opening versatile ...

VLBI Observations of Nearby HBLs: Physical Implications

Galaxies
We review the jet kinematics of HBL blazars based on results of the MOJAVE survey, which obtained images of active galactic nuclei with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 15 GHz, and the VLBA-BU-BLAZAR program as well as its successor BEAM-ME program,

Mechanisms of Degradation in Li‐Ion Batteries Under Low Temperature Exposures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Low‐temperature exposures, or freeze‐thaw cycles, are observed to significantly accelerate the degradation of Li‐ion batteries. A combination of electrolyte phase separation and mechanochemical stress leads to reversible and irreversible performance losses.

Measurements of angular momentum in jets and outflows, and feedback on the disk

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
The problem of understanding how a newly forming solar system manages to lose angular momentum from the stage of collapsing core to the final main sequence phase is a long-standing one.

The Correlation between the Total Magnetic Flux and the Total Jet Power

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2017
Magnetic field threading a black hole ergosphere is believed to play the key role in both driving the powerful relativistic jets observed in active galactic nuclei and extracting the rotational energy from a black hole via Blandford-Znajek process.
