Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

Investigation of differential diffusion in lean, premixed, hydrogen-enriched swirl flames
Applications in Energy and Combustion ScienceHydrogen combustion is a promising alternative to fossil fuel combustion in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint. However, hydrogen combustion is prone to thermodiffusive instabilities largely dependent on differential diffusion, a phenomenon that ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Liquid metal direct writing is advanced from a technological and fundamental point. Utilizing a kinematic bed, printing on large surfaces with irregularities is enabled. Furthermore, a pressure‐driven flow during printing is discovered that affects the thickness of traces.

The GSF Instability and Turbulence do not Account for the Relatively Low Rotation Rate of Pulsars [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this paper is to examine the effects of the horizontal turbulence in differentially rotating stars on the GSF instability and apply our results to pre-supernova models.

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A dual‐domain PSLC architecture enables direct comparison of alignment‐dependent laser damage within a single device. Crack‐like and seal‐like morphologies emerge under different damage conditions, and their evolution is interpreted through quantitative image analysis and heat‐driven simulations.

A Common Explosion Mechanism for Type Ia Supernovae [PDF]
, 2007 Type Ia supernovae, the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarf stars composed of carbon and oxygen, were instrumental as distance indicators in establishing the acceleration of the universe's expansion. However, the physics of the explosion are debated.

Pulsational Pair-instability Supernovae. I. Pre-collapse Evolution and Pulsational Mass Ejection [PDF]
, 2019 We calculate the evolution of massive stars, which undergo pulsational pair-instability (PPI) when the O-rich core is formed. The evolution from the main-sequence through the onset of PPI is calculated for stars with the initial masses of $80 - 140$ $M_{\
