Life at the end of worlds : modelling the biosignatures of microbial life in diverse environments at the end of the habitable lifetimes of Earth-like planets [PDF]
, 2014 This thesis investigates how increased global mean temperatures on Earth, induced by the increase in the luminosity of the Sun as it ages, change the types of habitable environments on the planet at local scales over the next 3 Gyr.

The Outer Planets and their Moons: Comparative Studies of the Outer Planets prior to the Exploration of the Saturn System by Cassini-Huygens [PDF]
, 2005 This volume gives an integrated summary of the science related to the four giant planets in our solar system. It is the result of an ISSI workshop on «A comparative study of the outer planets before the exploration of Saturn by Cassini-Huygens» which was

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The intrinsic distortion‐rich lattice of HEPBA with GQD‐enabled microstrain engineering establishes a mechanistic route toward high‐performance alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. HEPBA inherently feature heterogeneous local coordination environments arising from multimetal incorporation, while properly introducing GQD during coprecipitation ...

Giant Electrostriction in Halide Perovskites Revisited With Double‐Modulation Interferometry
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A giant electrostrictive effect in lead halide perovskites had been reported previously. This work uses sensitive interferometry to measure the electromechanical response of various halide perovskite samples. The results reveal no intrinsic electrostrictive compression. Instead, the materials expand primarily under an applied electric field as a result

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Computational and experimental studies of solids in the ammonia-water system [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis reports the results of first-principles computational studies of thirteen crystalline structures in the H2O-NH3 system. This includes eight low- and highpressure polymorphs of pure water ice, two polymorphs of solid ammonia, and three low ...

The General Circulation of the Tropical Atmosphere and Climate Changes [PDF]
, 2012 I examine the general circulation of the tropical atmosphere and climate changes. First, the response of the zonal surface temperature gradients and zonally asymmetric tropical overturning circulations (Walker circulations) to substantial changes in the ...

Replacement and late formation of atmospheric N2 on undifferentiated Titan by impacts [PDF]
, 2011 Saturn’s moon, Titan, has remarkable surface features—a massive N2 atmosphere and hydrological cycle of CH4—that are often compared with that of Earth^1^. However, the origin and evolution of Titan’s atmosphere remains largely

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...
