Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Interpretation of Second Law of Thermodynamics in the presence of interfaces
, 2012 In 1996, Muschik and Ehrentraut (J. Non-Equilib. Thermodyn. 21:175–192, 1996) proposed an amendment to the classical Second Law of Thermodynamics, which asserts that, except in equilibria, reversible process directions in state space do not exist.

Toward Improved Understanding of the Physical Meaning of Entropy in Classical Thermodynamics
Entropy, 2016 The year 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of “entropy” as a concept in classical thermodynamics. Despite its central role in the mathematical formulation of the Second Law and most of classical thermodynamics, its physical meaning continues to be ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The mechanical performance of nanocellular polyetherimide cannot be explained by nanoporosity alone. It is shown that CO2 saturation and desorption leave a distinct mechanical signature in the glassy matrix before foaming. This matrix contribution provides a new route to understand and optimize the brittle to ductile transition in nanocellular polymers.

Generalized second law of thermodynamics in quintom dominated universe [PDF]
, 2006 In this Letter we will investigate the validity of the generalized second law of thermodynamics for the quintom model of dark energy. Reviewing briefly the quintom scenario of dark energy, we will study the conditions of validity of the generalized ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Alkoxy chain length drives a continuous transition from eclipsed AA to a serrated, slipped AA* configuration over Co‐porphyrin COFs. A moderate slip both contracts the pore channel to enrich CO2 and suppress hydrogen evolution, and enhances collective high‐spin of Co sites, which delivers a record CO production rate with high selectivity.

, 2019 The Landauer principle quantifies the thermodynamic cost of the recording/erasure of one bit of information, as it was stated by its author: “information is physical” and it has an energy equivalent.

Spatial‐Compatibility‐Assisted Molecular Intercalation in MXenes
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates a solvent–free NH4F–mediated route for simultaneous Al removal and molecular intercalation in MXenes. Intercalants are selected by comparing their crystallographic X, Y, and Z dimensions with the MXene interlayer spacing, establishing a spatial‐compatibility criterion that rationalizes guest–host matching and enables predictive ...
