The sky brightness and transparency in i-band at Dome A, Antarctica
, 2011 The i-band observing conditions at Dome A on the Antarctic plateau have been investigated using data acquired during 2008 with the Chinese Small Telescope ARray. The sky brightness, variations in atmospheric transparency, cloud cover, and the presence of

Infrared Nanocrystals for Space Application: Hardness to Irradiations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This article investigates infrared HgTe nanocrystals under X‐ray and ion irradiation, revealing remarkable radiation hardness. It uncovers distinct degradation mechanisms and shows that the nanomaterial outperforms integrated electronics. The results position colloidal nanocrystals as promising candidates for resilient space and harsh‐environment ...

This chapter assesses the possibility of a liberated sky, or a sky that is no longer the exclusive domain of humanistic projections of meanings, concepts, and futures. It considers Virginia Woolf's final, unfinished novel as proto-Anthropocenic thought and as a means of imagining (with) the other side of human extinction.

Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

A note on the large-angle anisotropies in the WMAP cut-sky maps
, 2007 Recent analyses of the WMAP data seem to indicate the possible presence of large-angle anisotropy in the Universe. If confirmed, these can have important consequences for our understanding of the Universe.

Ferroelectricity in Antiferromagnetic Wurtzite Nitrides
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We establish MnSiN2${\rm MnSiN}_2$ and MnGeN2${\rm MnGeN}_2$ as aristotypes of a new multiferroic wurtzite family that simultaneously exhibits ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetism with altermagnetic spin splitting. By strategically substituting alkaline‐earth metals, we predict new materials with coexisting switchable polarization, spin texture, and

Full-sky CMB lensing reconstruction in presence of sky-cuts
, 2013 We consider the reconstruction of the CMB lensing potential and its power spectrum of the full sphere in presence of sky-cuts due to point sources and Galactic contaminations. Those two effects are treated separately.
