Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Physical intelligence” (PI) empowers biological organisms and artificial machines, especially at the small scales, to perceive, adapt, and even reshape their complex, dynamic, and unstructured operation environments. This review summarizes recent milestones and future directions of PI in small‐scale robots and machines.

A simulation study of interactions of space-shuttle generated electron beams with ambient plasma and neutral gas [PDF]

The objective was to conduct large scale simulations of electron beams injected into space. The study of the active injection of electron beams from spacecraft is important, as it provides valuable insight into the plasma beam interactions and the ...

Resolving the Structural Duality of Graphene Grain Boundaries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cantilever ncAFM resolves the atomic structure of grain boundaries in graphene, revealing coexisting stable and metastable types. Both contain pentagon/heptagon defects, but metastable GBs show irregular geometries. Modeling shows metastable GBs form under compression, exhibiting vertical corrugation, while stable GBs are flat.

Review of Thin Lithium Metal Battery Anode Fabrication – Microstructure – Electrochemistry Relations

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Thin, lightweight lithium‐metal anodes are pivotal for practical high‐energy batteries. This review surveys processing routes that convert diverse Li precursors, e.g., ingots, melts, solutions, and vapor, into Li‐rich foils with controlled thickness, areal density, and tailored functionality.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Effects of neutral beam injection on tearing mode stability: insights from hybrid simulations

Nuclear Fusion
In tokamak plasmas, tangential neutral beam injection (NBI) produces (a large fraction of) circulating energetic ions (CEIs) and induces plasma toroidal rotation, both of which play an important role in the stability of tearing mode (TM).

Optimization of a large-area grid electrode for negative ion source in fusion neutral beam injector

Nuclear Engineering and Technology
At present, the CRAFT (Comprehensive Research Facility for Fusion Technology) dual-driver negative ion source for neutral beam injection applications has made progress. In order to solve the problem of heat removal function in large-area extraction grid,

In Situ Amine Formation to Modulate MOF‐Derived PdIn N‐Doped Carbon Catalysts

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
An amine‐assisted approach converts PdIn‐MOF into PdIn intermetallic nanoparticles embedded in N‐doped carbon. In situ‐generated amines trigger early Pd nucleation, producing smaller PdIn domains than direct pyrolysis. Amine sterics and basicity tune composition and particle size, while solvent and amine co‐determine textural features.

Heating and current drive in STEP: why neutral beam injection is not desirable

Nuclear Fusion
Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) is the UK’s prototype fusion power plant programme aiming to demonstrate net electrical output from a spherical tokamak. The plasma scenarios require a completely non-inductive current drive for the flat-top

Adaptive Multi-Scale Feature Fusion for Spectral Peak Extraction with Morphological Segmentation and Optimized Clustering

Applied Sciences
In the diagnostics of plasmas heated by neutral beam injection (NBI), which serves as a fundamental heating technique, critical core parameters such as ion temperatures and rotational velocities can be measured through NBI’s associated diagnostic methods.
