Ferroelectricity and Ferroionic Dynamics in Two‐Dimensional CuInP2S6

Information &Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The coupled dynamics of ferroelectric polarization and Cu‐ion migration endow CuInP2S6 with unique ferroionic functionalities. This review connects structure, switching mechanisms, and device applications to provide a unified perspective on two‐dimensional ferroionic materials.

Extreme Optical Field Confinement and Enhancement in a Plasmonic Picopatch Within a Nanoparticle‐on‐Mirror Resonator

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A picopatch in a plasmonic nanocavity confines the electromagnetic energy to tiny effective volumes, close to 1nm3, leading to extreme electric field enhancements. Furthermore, a clear signature of strong coupling between the picopatch modes and other modes of the structure is obtained, which strongly modifies the far‐field response. ABSTRACT Plasmonic

Effects of Multiple Mechanical Recycling Loops on the Material Properties of Liquid Silicone Rubber

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical recycling of liquid silicone rubbers was investigated by grinding LSR production waste to small pieces, which are then used as filler in new products with varying percentages of recycled content. Four consecutive reprocessing cycles showed that multiple mechanical recycling loops are possible without significant loss of material performance.

Revisiting the Immirzi parameter: Landauer’s principle and alternative entropy frameworks in loop quantum gravity

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This paper investigates the implications from area quantization in Loop Quantum Gravity, particularly focusing on the application of the Landauer principle – a fundamental thermodynamic concept establishing a connection between information theory and ...

Hands‐on and Minds‐on? Findings on the Instructional Support of Preschool Teachers to Foster Children's Understanding of Scientific Practices

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To participate effectively in modern society, it is essential to have both knowledge of scientific concepts and an understanding of scientific practices. Children develop initial knowledge and skills to engage in scientific practices, such as identifying patterns, long before entering school.

Embedding Climate Action: Policy Integration and Semantic Coherence in Ireland's SDGs Policy Mix

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the EU's 2050 target of climate neutrality requires embedding climate action (SDG13) within national sustainable development strategies. While inter‐governmental coordination and policy linkages are central to policy integration and coherence, existing studies rarely examine them in tandem.

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

Distinguishing pure and thermal states by Landauer’s principle in open systems

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
Starting from Polchinski’s thought experiment on how to distinguish between pure and thermal states, we construct a specific system to study the interaction between qubit and cavity quantum field theory (QFT) in order to provide a more operational point ...

The Actus Reus of Attempts

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
This paper gives an account of the actus reus for a criminal attempt. Conduct that is more than merely preparatory, we argue, intrudes on the same protected domain as the complete offence. This takes a normative approach to actus reus, focusing on the reasons that the defendant acted against.
