Geometry‐Dependent Adhesion in Transparent Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are emerging as exciting pressure‐sensitive adhesives. We examine adhesion in chemically identical elastomer films, exploring the influence of geometry (director orientation) and phase (nematic or isotropic). We demonstrate the potential of these aligned films as transparent, tunable, broad‐temperature‐range smart ...

The Potential of Coordinated Gravitational-wave Follow-up for Improving Kilonova Detection Prospects: Lessons from GW190425

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The discovery of a kilonova associated with the GW170817 binary neutron star (BNS) merger had far-reaching implications for our understanding of several open questions in physics and astrophysics. Unfortunately, since then, only one robust BNS merger has

Probing Supernova Diversity Through High-Cadence Optical Observations

open access: yesUniverse
Supernovae (SNe) are among the most energetic and transient events in the universe, offering crucial insights into stellar evolution, nucleosynthesis, and cosmic expansion.

Higher depletion of lithium in planet host stars: no age and mass effect

open access: yes, 2010
Recent observational work by Israelian et al. has shown that sun-like planet host stars in the temperature range 5700K < Teff < 5850K have lithium abundances that are significantly lower than those observed for "single" field stars. In this letter we use

Multipurpose Transparent Nanocomposites for Gamma Spectroscopy, Pulse Shape Discrimination, Thermal Neutron Detection, Radiation Shielding, and High Refractive Index Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Materials exist that are useful for gamma scintillation, radiation shielding, neutron‐gamma pulse shape discrimination (PSD), thermal neutron detection, or high refractive index applications. While certain materials have exhibited optimal performance for each of these applications, none achieve multiple functions.

Rates and Beaming Angles of Gamma-Ray Bursts Associated with Compact Binary Coalescences

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Some, if not all, binary neutron star (BNS) coalescences, and a fraction of neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers, are thought to produce sufficient mass ejection to power gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

Emission Lines as a Tool in Search for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries and Recoiling Black Holes

open access: yes, 2009
Detection of electromagnetic (EM) counterparts of pre-coalescence binaries has very important implications for our understanding of the evolution of these systems as well as the associated accretion physics.
