Water Permeates and Plasticizes Amorphous Carbon Dots: Unraveling the Inner Accessibility of the Nanoparticles by Glass Transition Studies

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The water permeability of amorphous carbon dots (CDs) is demonstrated by investigating their plasticization. Novel polyamide‐based and amorphous nanoparticles are synthesized by controlling their inner packing density. Water plasticization is evidenced by the decrease of the CDs glass transition temperature with increasing the hydration degree.

The Role of Tectonic Plate Thickness and Mantle Conductance in Determining Regional Vulnerability to Extreme Space Weather Events: Possible Enhancement of Magnetic Source Fields by Secondary Induction in the Asthenosphere

Space Weather, 2020
During magnetic storms, solar‐magnetosphere‐ionosphere‐Earth interactions give rise to geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in man‐made technological conductors such as power grids, gas pipelines, and railway networks with potentially damaging ...

Radiation‐Resistant Aluminum Alloy for Space Missions in the Extreme Environment of the Solar System

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A novel ultrafine‐grained aluminum crossover alloy exhibits unprecedented radiation resistance and mechanical stability under extreme irradiation doses up to 100 dpa. The exceptional resilience arises from thermodynamically stable T‐phase precipitates, enabling lightweight structural materials for next‐generation spacecraft and extraterrestrial ...

Wavelet analysis of the ionospheric response at mid-latitudes during the April 200 storm using magnetograms and vTEC from GPS [PDF]

, 2013
In this work we pursue the idea of computing a parameter that allows us to estimate the local ionospheric response to a geospheric event that triggers an ionospheric storm. For that, wavelet technique has been chosen because of its ability to analyze non-

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Spremembe v gostoti energije magnetnega polja Zemlje na observatoriju PIA, Slovenija, med geomagnetno nevihto G5 11. maja 2024 (= Changes in the energy density of the Earth's magnetic field at the PIA, Slovenia, observatory during the G5 Geomagnetic Storm on May 11, 2024)

Geodetski Vestnik
Geomagnetic storms are the largest disturbance in the Earth's magnetic field. On May 11, 2024, a geomagnetic storm occurred at the peak of the 25th solar cycle, reaching the highest level (G5) on the planetary scale.

Asymmetry of the Ferroelectric Phase Transition in BaTiO3

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are typically assumed to behave identically in forward and reverse. This work shows that in the ferroelectric material barium titanate this is not true: heating drives an abrupt, first‐order jump, while cooling gives a smooth, continuous change.

One‐Dimensional Materials Supported in Two‐Dimensional Van der Waals Metal–Organic Frameworks with Optical Anisotropy Switching via Twist‐Engineering

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a molecular strategy to assemble one‐dimensional (1D) materials into two‐dimensional (2D) van der Waals metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Crystals of [FeX(pzX)(bpy)] (X = Cl, F) form anisotropic 2D layers that can be mechanically exfoliated into thin sheets.

Seasonal variations in the occurrence of geomagnetic storms

Annales Geophysicae
Seasonal variations in the onset of magnetic storms are investigated. For the purposes of this study storms have been defined as events in which <i>Dst</i> falls below –50 nT for at least four consecutive hours.
