Defect‐Engineered Microwave‐Responsive Ni@C Composites From Waste PET for Catalytic Plastic Upcycling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A circular upcycling strategy transforms waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles into microwave‐responsive Ni@C catalyst featuring lattice‐distorted nickel cores and defective carbon shells. These strain‐rich heterointerfaces enhance dielectric loss and promote localized microwave hotspots, accelerating peroxymonosulfate activation and polymer‐chain

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...

Micromachined Double‐Membrane Mechanically Tunable Metamaterial for Thermal Infrared Filtering

Advanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
Herein, a mechanically tunable double‐layer plasmonic metamaterial leveraging the extraordinary optical transmission effect observed in subwavelength arrays of openings within thin metal layers is presented. The concept is experimentally validated by integrating the proposed metamaterial structure into an electrostatic parallel‐plate actuator to create

A comparative study of winds and tidal variability in the mesosphere/lower-thermosphere region over Bulgaria and the UK [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2000
Meteor radars located in Bulgaria and the UK have been used to simultaneously measure winds in the mesosphere/lower-thermosphere region near 42.5°N, 26.6°E and 54.5°N, 3.9°W, respectively, over the period January 1991 to June 1992.

Types of Coupling between the Stratospheric Polar Vortex and Tropospheric Polar Vortex, and Tropospheric Circulation Anomalies Associated with Each Type in Boreal Winter

Remote Sensing, 2023
Fifty years of daily ERA5 reanalysis data are employed to investigate the linkages between the strength of the stratospheric polar vortex and the tropospheric polar vortex during the boreal winter.

Elimination of Necking and Aspect Ratio Dependence in Uniaxial Actuators by Continuous Fiber Reinforcement

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel carbon fiber reinforcement for dielectric elastomer actuators enhances actuation force while decoupling electromechanical performance from the actuator's aspect ratio. Unlike conventional fiber reinforcements, it enables a uniform planar stretch state along the entire actuator.

Effect of planetary waves on cooling the upper mesosphere and lower thermosphere by the CO₂ 15-µm emission [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2004
The steady-state 2-D linearized model of global-scale waves, calibrated according to available observations, is used to evaluate planetary-wave perturbations of temperature from the surface up to the height of about 165km.

Traveling planetary‐scale Rossby waves in the winter stratosphere: The role of tropospheric baroclinic instability

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
The Southern Hemisphere winter stratosphere exhibits prominent traveling planetary‐scale Rossby waves, which generally are not able to induce Stratospheric Sudden Warmings. A series of runs of a simplified general circulation model is presented, aimed at

Persistence of the planetary wave type oscillations in foF2 over Europe [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2003
Planetary waves are oscillations of very predominantly tropospheric origin with typical periods of about 2–30 days. Their dominant zonal wave numbers are 1, 2 and 3, i.e. the waves are of large-scale (global) character.
