Material Composition Gradient Controls the Autonomous Opening of Banksia Seed Pods in Fire‐Prone Habitats

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The seed pod valves of Australian Banksia attenuata plants are not simply bi‐layers which bend when dry. These experiments and models reveal complex mechanics, which allow seed release only after several steps of seed pod opening. Stiffness gradients prevent delamination of the valves during loading, and a shape‐memory function protects the seeds ...

Four Sub-Earth Planets Orbiting Barnard’s Star from MAROON-X and ESPRESSO

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Barnard’s Star is an old, single M dwarf star that comprises the second-closest extrasolar system. It has a long history of claimed planet detections from both radial velocities and astrometry.

Recent Advances in Single‐Atom Catalyst for Solar Energy Conversion: A Comprehensive Review and Future Outlook

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of single‐atom catalysts in three key photocatalytic reactions: the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), nitrogen reduction reaction for ammonia synthesis, and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR) for chemical fuels.

Breaking the degeneracy between warps and radial flows in external galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Observations of the line-of-sight component of emitter velocities in galaxies are valuable for reconstructing their 2D velocity fields, albeit requiring certain assumptions. A common one is that radial flows can be neglected in the outer regions of galaxies, while their geometry can be deformed by a warp. A specular approach assumes that galactic discs

Electroplating of Wear‐ and Corrosion‐Resistant CrCoNi Medium‐Entropy Alloys beyond Hard Chromium Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The electroplating of a CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy is achieved using a mixture of an ionic liquid and an aqueous solution containing metal salts. The CrCoNi medium‐entropy alloy thin film exhibits high wear and corrosion resistance superior to conventional hard chromium coatings. Abstract High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium‐entropy alloys (MEAs) are
