Three-Dimensional Modelling and Validation for the Ultra-High-Speed EDS Rocket Sled with PM Halbach Array

Actuators
The ultra-high-speed rocket sled plays an important role in the ground test by simulating altitude flight. Rocket sleds can only be lifted for a short time with thermally uninsulated superconductors moving among an eddy-current-induced copper array.

A Novel Overlapped Compensation Structure and Its Effectiveness Verification for Expansion Joints in Plate-Type PMEDS Vehicles

Actuators
In the plate-type permanent magnet electrodynamic suspension (PMEDS) vehicle, expansion joints in discrete conductive plates trigger the eddy current truncation effect, thereby causing an attenuation in the levitation force.

Electrochemical Biosensors for Cancer Biomarker Detection: Basic Concept, Design Strategy and Cutting‐Edge Development

Electrochemical Science Advances, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cancer is a result of uncontrolled cell growth with the potential to damage or spread to another part of the body. It is the deadliest disease in the world; therefore, rapid and sensitive detection is essential to fight it. In the past few decades, many diagnosis tools have been developed to detect cancer and monitor therapy progress.

Advances in Radiative Heat Transfer: Bridging Far‐Field Fundamentals and Emerging Near‐Field Innovations

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 27, July 3, 2025.
This review synthesizes the evolution of radiative heat transfer, emphasizing the transition from far‐field to near‐field regimes. Traditional frameworks, such as Planck's law, are revisited alongside modern innovations like fluctuational electrodynamics. Applications span nanoscale thermal management, energy harvesting, and thermophotovoltaic systems.

Axion‐Like Interactions and CFT in Topological Matter, Anomaly Sum Rules and the Faraday Effect

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 4, Issue 7, July 2025.
This review investigates the connection between chiral anomalies and their manifestation in topological materials, using both perturbative methods based on ordinary quantum field theory and conformal field theory (CFT). It emphasizes the role of CFT in momentum space for parity‐odd correlation functions, and their reconstruction by the inclusion of a ...

Optoelectric‐Driven Wetting Transition on Artificially Micropatterned Surfaces With Long‐Range Virtual Electrodes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 6, 2025.
The manuscript describes an optoelectrowetting method based on the optical induction of virtual electrodes on a ferroelectric crystal placed below a superhydrophobic substrate. The experimental and numerical comprehensive analysis reveals a wetting transition from the Cassie–Baxter to the Wenzel state upon a long‐range interaction between the light ...
