Convective adjustment in baroclinic atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes
Local convection in planetary atmospheres is generally considered to result from the action of gravity on small regions of anomalous density. That in rotating baroclinic fluids the total potential energy for small scale convection contains a centrifugal ...

Autonomous Locomotion of Tensegrity Structure on Low‐Temperature Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A low‐temperature responsive tensegrity structure (LRTS) is constructed by integrating low‐responsive temperature liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) cables, nonresponsive cables, and stiff rods. The low phase transition temperature of LCE is achieved by introducing a new liquid crystal mesogen.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

H2 Chemistry and Protonation in the Dayside Venusian Upper Atmosphere

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Although H _2 is present in low concentrations, it critically controls the structure and composition of planetary upper atmospheres through protonation under solar extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray irradiation. Recent studies highlight the importance of

Polylactic Acid (PLA), Polycaprolactone (PCL), and Chitosan: the Biodegradable Transition in Medical Waste Management

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
The shift to biodegradable materials in healthcare promises reduced plastic pollution, but their production, adoption, and long‐term impacts remain complex. Integrating lifecycle insights with global policy coordination is essential for meaningful environmental gains. Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic sharply increased medical waste, intensifying concerns

Depth‐Dependence Changes in Soil Stoichiometry in China's Croplands Over the Past Four Decades

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals depth‐dependent changes in soil C:N:P ratios across Chinese croplands over four decades. Changes in stoichiometry vary markedly between topsoil and subsoil, with initial soil C:N:P ratios playing a key role in determining their trajectories.

Simultaneous Evolutionary Fits for Jupiter and Saturn Incorporating Fuzzy Cores

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
With the recent realization that there likely are stably stratified regions in the interiors of both Jupiter and Saturn, we construct new nonadiabatic, inhomogeneous evolutionary models with the same microphysics for each that result at the present time ...
