arXivSome astrobiological models suggest that molecular clouds may serve as habitats for extraterrestrial life. This study reviews recent theoretical work addressing the physical and biochemical prerequisites for life in such environments, with particular focus on three subjects: (1) bioenergetic pathways under extreme low-temperature conditions; (2) the ...

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.This work presents the use of a waveplate in thermochromic materials for smart windows. The waveplate enables the optical material to transition from a narrow band reflection to broad band ambidextrous reflection upon heating, resulting in a solar transmission modulation of 5.2% which is four times greater than typical thermochromic cholesteric liquid ...
