Deep Swift/UVOT Observations of GOODS-N and the Evolution of the Ultraviolet Luminosity Function at 0.2 < z < 1.2

The Astrophysical Journal
We present Swift Ultraviolet Optical Telescope (UVOT) observations of the deep field GOODS-N in four near-UV filters. A catalog of detected galaxies is reported, which will be used to explore galaxy evolution using UV emission.

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery

An Ultra‐Reliable and Highly Sensitive Flexible Piezoelectric Pressure Sensor Based on Vertically Aligned Gallium Nitride Microrod Arrays on Graphene

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A flexible and highly reliable piezoelectric pressure sensor based on GaN p–n homojunction microrod arrays on graphene is demonstrated. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity, rapid response, excellent cyclic durability, and stable performance after thermal aging and PBS immersion, highlighting its potential for harsh‐environment and biomedical pressure ...

Rising Near-ultraviolet Spectra in Stellar Megaflares

The Astrophysical Journal
Flares from M dwarf stars can attain energies up to 10 ^4 times larger than solar flares but are generally thought to result from similar processes of magnetic energy release and particle acceleration.

Surfactants as a Tool for Coupling Light Into Hydrodynamic Flow: The Influence of Surfactant Hydrophobicity and Head Polarity

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Reversible light‐induced gradients at solid–liquid interfaces enable controllable interfacial transport via light‐driven diffusioosmosis. We demonstrate directed particle manipulation based on dynamically generated concentration gradients. The mechanism is broadly applicable to cationic, anionic, and non‐ionic surfactants with varying hydrophobicity ...

Flux closure during a substorm observed by cluster, double star, IMAGE FUV, SuperDARN, and greenland magnetometers [PDF]

, 2006
We examine magnetic flux closure during an ex- tended substorm interval on 29 August 2004 involving a two-stage onset and subsequent re-intensifications.

Tailoring Photochromism Beyond Human Eye Visibility: On/Off Switchable NIR Absorption in an Aluminosilicate

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A new photochromic material was developed. Its on/off‐switchable absorption band is situated completely outside the human eye's visibility, in the near‐infrared (NIR) region, a feature never reported before. The photochromism mechanism in this aluminosilicate is elucidated by combining experimental as well as computational results, and the material's ...

A Multiwavelength Survey of Nearby M Dwarfs: Optical and Near-ultraviolet Flares and Activity with Contemporaneous TESS, Kepler/K2, Swift, and HST Observations

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength investigation into flares and activity in nearby M dwarf stars. We leverage the most extensive contemporaneous data set obtained through the Transiting Exoplanet Sky Survey, Kepler/K2, the Neil Gehrels Swift ...

Linking Device Performance to Nanoscale Photoactivation of Grain Boundaries in 2D Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The opto‐electronic response of polycrystalline (PEA)2PbBr4 thin films is investigated by correlating macroscopic photodetector performance with nanoscale mapping techniques. Grain boundary density is systematically tuned through crystallization control and linked to device responsivity.
