Topological‐defect‐featured order evolution of liquid crystals

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides a comprehensive introduction to the recent advances in the topological‐defect‐featured order evolution of liquid crystal (LCs), including the stimulus‐driven dynamics of defects in nematic LCs, topological defect morphological transformation during phase transitions, advanced strategies for regulating and applications of ...

Analysis of Thermal Dynamics of Floating Photovoltaic Systems

Solar RRL, EarlyView.
A scalable methodology couples computational fluid dynamics‐derived wind decay functions with a dynamic heat transfer model to capture spatial temperature variations across large floating photovoltaic systems and is validated with data from the Netherlands floating photovoltaic systems (FPV) site.

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Characteristics of unique cap, Tsurushi and Hata clouds around Mount Fuji

Weather, EarlyView.
Distinct clouds, such as cap clouds, Tsurushi (a type of lenticular cloud) and Hata (banner cloud‐like clouds), frequently form around Mount Fuji, an isolated peak with a slightly elliptical conical shape. Here, we examine their characteristics and occurrence patterns.

Evaluating the impact of the UK job retention scheme on mental health and well‐being using matched difference‐in‐differences

Fiscal Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In March 2020, the UK government implemented the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, otherwise known as furlough, to minimise the impact of job losses. The UK furlough protected jobs during the COVID‐19 crisis, covering up to 80 per cent of a worker's monthly wage for hours not worked. We evaluate the causal effects of furlough on mental health,
