The sensitivity of r-process nucleosynthesis to the properties of neutron-rich nuclei
, 2013 About half of the heavy elements in the Solar System were created by rapid neutron capture, or r-process, nucleosynthesis. In the r-process, heavy elements are built up via a sequence of neutron captures and beta decays in which an intense neutron flux ...

Chemically Doped Conductive Polymers for Wearable Health Monitoring
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Among conductive polymers, poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS), polyaniline (PANI), and polypyrrole (PPy) are the most studied and applied. Chemical doping significantly boosts intrinsic conductivity and mechanical robustness.

Nanocrystal Quality–Controlled Scintillation in Porous YAG:Ce Aerogels
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.High‐temperature thermal treatment of YAG:Ce nanoscintillator aerogels increases light yield under ionizing radiation by up to eightfold without affecting timing performance. Additionally, low‐temperature atmospheric treatments reversibly modify the cerium oxidation state, revealing strong defect sensitivity and offering new strategies to optimize ...

Light radioactive nuclei capture reactions with phenomenological potential models
, 2009 Light radioactive nuclei play an important role in many astrophysical environments. Due to very low cross sections of some neutron and proton capture reactions by these radioactive nuclei at energies of astrophysical interest, direct laboratory ...

Degenerate Neutron Capture Rates in the Threshold of Neutron Star–Black Hole Mergers
The Astrophysical JournalWe first show that the rate of energy generation due to neutron capture rates can be important in neutron star–black hole mergers (NS–BH mergers) by considering neutron degeneracy.

Neutrinos and the Supernova Origin of the Elements
, 2000 Intense fluxes of neutrinos are emitted by the hot neutron star produced in a supernova. The electron neutrino and antineutrino capture reactions on neutrons and protons, respectively, provide heating to drive a wind from the hot neutron star.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The lithium plating reaction in graphite electrodes acts as a root cause for the accelerated degradation and the internal short circuits in lithium‐ion batteries. Here, an electrochemical model based on multi‐scale microstructural images was established to identify lithium plating‐stripping processes, thereby supporting the predictive outcomes
