Novel conjugated polymers with side‐chain π‐conjugation are developed to enhance organic thermoelectric properties. Remarkably, the pendant doping in the conjugated polymers preserved strong intermolecular ordering in the film states even at high FeCl3 dopant concentrations (16 – 32 mM), achieving a promising power factor > 10 µW m−1 K−2 across a wide ...

Semi-Empirical Estimates of the Cosmic Planet Formation Rate
We devise and exploit a data-driven, semi-empirical framework of galaxy formation and evolution, coupling it to recipes for planet formation from stellar and planetary science, to compute the cosmic planet formation rate, and the properties of the ...

Terraforming Mars is not out of the question yet - and microscopic algae could help [PDF]
Recently some researchers have gathered around the claim that the likelihood for terraformation of Mars is slim, either because human technology is not up to the task, or the planet does not posses all the necessary resources to allow the process to be ...

Formation and Structure of Low Density Exo-Neptunes
Kepler has found hundreds of Neptune-size (2-6 R_Earth) planet candidates within 0.5 AU of their stars. The nature of the vast majority of these planets is not known because their masses have not been measured.

Gifts from Exoplanetary Transits [PDF]
The discovery of transiting extrasolar planets has enabled us a number of interesting stduies. Transit photometry reveals the radius and the orbital inclination of transiting planets, and thereby we can learn the true mass and the density of respective ...

Prevalence of Earth-size planets orbiting Sun-like stars [PDF]
Significance A major question is whether planets suitable for biochemistry are common or rare in the universe. Small rocky planets with liquid water enjoy key ingredients for biology.

Oxygen‐doping modulated g‐C3N4 support enables a strong built‐in electric field (BIEF) in FeOCl‐OCN.This enhanced BIEF induces the rearrangement of Fe(II)/Fe(III) in FeOCl, which subtly improves intermediates adsorption and also reduces the energy barrier of *O production, thereby achieving efficient PMS activation with 1O2 and Fe(IV)= O as the primary

The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.

High Pressure Melting Curve of Fe Determined by Inter‐Metallic Fast Diffusion Technique
The heat extracted from the core by the overlying mantle across the core‐mantle boundary controls the thermal evolution of the core. This in turn leads to the solidification of the inner core in association with the exsolution of light alloying elements ...

Planetary Transits Toward the Galactic Bulge [PDF]
The primary difficulty with using transits to discover extrasolar planets is the low probability a planet has of transiting its parent star. One way of overcoming this difficulty is to search for transits in dense stellar fields, such as the Galactic ...
