Orbital Period Changes of Recurrent Nova U Scorpii Demonstrate That Mejecta = 26 × Maccreted, So U Sco Is Not a Type Ia Supernova Progenitor

The Astrophysical Journal
Recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco) is one of the prototypes for a Type Ia supernova progenitor. The logic is that the white dwarf is near the Chandrasekhar mass and gas is accumulating onto its surface at a near-maximal accretion rate, so it will soon ...

Synergistic Interfacial Regulation by Nano‐TiO2 and Carboxylated Cellulose Nanofibers for Multiscale Surface Stabilization of Cementitious Composites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Nano‐TiO2 and carboxylated cellulose nanofibers jointly regulate hydration‐product distribution in cementitious composites. Improved microstructural continuity and refined pore structure accompany enhanced strength and surface stability without a substantial increase in overall hydration.

Ancient Nova Shells of RX Pup Indicate Evolution of Mass Transfer Rate

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
RX Pup is a symbiotic binary that experienced a nova outburst in the 1970s. Here we report a discovery of a ∼1300 yr old nova shell around the system and a possible detection of a ∼7000 yr old nova shell. Together with the nova shell ejected in the 1970s,

Low‐Outgassing Liquid Metal–Silicone Composites for Multifunctional Space Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Integrating liquid metal microdroplets into a space‐grade silicone creates a multifunctional composite while preserving its inherent flexibility and low‐outgassing behavior. The composite has 11×$\times$ higher thermal conductivity while remaining thermally stable and maintaining a total mass loss of ≤$\le$ 1% under thermal vacuum testing.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Evolutionary Period Changes for 52 Cataclysmic Variables, and the Failure for the Most-fundamental Prediction of the Magnetic Braking Model

The Astrophysical Journal
The evolution of cataclysmic variables (CVs) is driven by period changes ( $\dot{P}$ ), for which the long-venerable consensus is the magnetic braking model (MBM).

SemanticST: A Scalable Multi‐Contextual Graph Learning Framework for Uncovering Spatial Niches and Robust Multi‐Sample Integration in Spatial Transcriptomics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Technical limitations often let dominant signals overshadow rare cell types and fine‐grained heterogeneity in spatial transcriptomics. SemanticST, a graph neural network using multi‐semantic graph fusion and a novel min‐cut loss, recovers these subtle patterns.

Spectroscopic monitoring of classical and recurrent novae at Asiago Observatory

, 2020
. In the course of the monitoring of spectral evolutions of classical and recurrent novae on outbursts, 11 classical novae and 2 recurrent novae (U Sco, CI Aql) were observed at Padova-Asiago Observatory in the years from 1990 to 2001.

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.
