Predicting the Timing of the Solar Cycle 25 Polar Field Reversal

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The process of the Sun’s polar field cancellation reversal commences with the emergence of new cycle Hale’s polarity active regions. Once the Sun undergoes polarity reversal, typically occurring near the peak of solar activity, it begins the process of ...

Temporal Evolution of Sunspot Groups and Increase in the Open Flux during Solar Maximum in Cycle 24

The Astrophysical Journal
The evolution of the global solar magnetic field directly impacts the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). During the solar maximum of Cycle 24, the monthly averaged IMF strength doubled over five Carrington rotations (CRs) in late 2014.

Magnetic Flux Emergence into the Solar Corona. II. Global Magnetic Fields with Current Sheets

The Astrophysical Journal, 2002
Hydromagnetic structural and stability properties of global magnetic fields with current sheets are discussed in this paper. These fields describe solar coronal magnetic structures that form when a fresh magnetic field of opposite polarity has emerged into the corona containing a preexisting magnetic field.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Tailoring Multifunctional Carbon Dots via Precursor Stoichiometry: Switching Between Solid‐State Fluorescence and Broadband Absorption Through Aggregation Control

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precursor stoichiometry programs the surface chemistry of carbon dots, directing their self‐assembly into distinct aggregation modes. Aldehyde‐enriched surfaces form ordered, hydrogen‐bonded assemblies that enable bright red solid‐state fluorescence, whereas amine‐rich surfaces promote compact π–π stacked aggregates with broadband visible‐light ...

Beyond Percolation: Graphene‐Enabled Network Reinforcement Enhances Thermal Transport in Paraffin Phase‐Change Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Expanded‐graphite/graphene‐nanoplatelet hybrids deliver a near‐order‐of‐magnitude thermal‐conductivity enhancement in paraffin phase‐change materials. A microCT‐informed 3D modeling framework resolves the percolating EG backbone and captures sub‐voxel GNP enrichment, quantitatively linking microstructure to heat flow and revealing a graphene‐enabled ...
