A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

The complex kinematics of rotating star clusters in a tidal field

, 2018
We broaden the investigation of the dynamical properties of tidally perturbed, rotating star clusters by relaxing the traditional assumptions of coplanarity, alignment, and synchronicity between the internal and orbital angular velocity vector of their ...

Tunable and Recyclable Piezoelectric Biomaterials via Ion‐Directed Guanine‐Quadruplex Assembly

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Guanine‐quadruplex (GQ) assemblies, formed via ion‐mediated self‐assembly of amphiphilic guanine derivatives, are introduced as tunable and recyclable piezoelectric biomaterials. Distinct alkali ions induce unique dipole configurations and piezoelectric outputs, with K⁺ yielding the highest performance.

A second-order accurate numerical scheme for Ericksen-Leslie system with penalty terms and defect dynamics in flows of nematic liquid crystals

Electronic Research Archive
In this article, we study a second-order numerical scheme for the Ericksen-Leslie system. A modified Crank-Nicolson temporal discretization is adopted, and the pressure projection approach is used to decouple the Stokes solver.

Quasiclassical description of a superconductor with a spin density wave

, 2011
We derive equations for the quasiclassical Green's functions $\check{g}$ within a simple model of a two-band superconductor with a spin-density-wave (SDW).
