An asymmetric non‐fullerene acceptor BTP‐FT is developed by extending the end group of Y6‐BO with thiophene. The conformation of the molecule is determined by the noncovalent F···S interaction as demonstrated by 2D NMR and simulations. An efficiency of 18.39% is achieved in the resulting ternary solar cells processed from toluene.

Estimating the Spin of MAXI J1348–630 from Intermediate and Soft States Using Insight-HXMT Data
We present a broadband spectral analysis of the soft-intermediate and soft states using Insight-HXMT observations of the black hole binary MAXI J1348–630 during its outburst in 2019.

Probing the X-ray Variability of X-ray Binaries [PDF]
Kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) has been regarded as representing the Keplerian frequency at the inner disk edge in the neutron star X-ray binaries. The so-called ``parallel tracks'' on the plot of the kHz QPO frequency vs. X-ray flux in neutron star X-ray binaries, on the other hand, show the correlation between the kHz QPO frequency ...

Upper Limits on the X-ray Emission of "Uranium" Stars [PDF]
A paper by Qian & Wasserburg suggests the optical absorption lines of uranium observed in the spectra of ultra-metal-poor stars (defined as [Fe/H] $<$-3) arise from contamination from a supernova in a binary star system. Assuming the binary survived the explosion, a collapsed compact object may be present and implying potential accretion processes with

The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

Discovery of a Long Thermonuclear X-Ray Burst from the Ultracompact Binary 4U 1850–087
We report the detection of a long X-ray burst from the ultracompact binary 4U 1850–087. The type I X-ray burst was observed on MJD 60171.65 by the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image and Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We analyze the NICER

OAO1657-415 : A `Missing Link' in High Mass X-ray Binaries? [PDF]
OAO1657-415 is only the seventh eclipsing X-ray pulsar known and therefore has the potential to yield only the seventh mass of a neutron star in an X-ray binary. Here we report photometric and spectroscopic observations of candidates for the optical counterpart to the system and identify a B6V or B5III star as a possible companion to the neutron star ...

High‐Entropy Liquid Metal Process for Transparent Ultrathin p‐Type Gallium Oxide
This work introduces a doping strategy for harvesting ultrathin Ga oxide layers using a multi‐elemental Ga‐based liquid metal alloy. The incorporation of trivalent In metal into the self‐limiting oxide formed on the alloy's surface is enabled by the existence of atomically dispersed Pt, Au, and Pd.

The accretion flow onto a neutron star will be impacted by irradiation from a type I X-ray burst. The burst radiation exerts Poynting–Robertson (PR) drag on the accretion disk, leading to an enhanced mass accretion rate.
