Extensive Pollution of Uranus and Neptune’s Atmospheres by Upsweep of Icy Material during the Nice Model Migration

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In the Nice model of Solar System formation, Uranus and Neptune undergo an orbital upheaval, sweeping through a planetesimal disk. The region of the disk from which material is accreted by the ice giants during this phase of their evolution has not ...

Circular‐Polarization‐Sensitive Organic Photodetectors with a Chiral Nanopatterned Electrode Inverse‐Designed by Genetic Algorithm

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A chiral photodetector capable of selectively distinguishing left‐ and right‐handed circularly polarized light is experimentally demonstrated. The device, which features a nanopatterned electrode inverse‐designed by a genetic algorithm within a metal–dielectric–metal nanocavity that incorporates a vacuum‐deposited small‐molecule multilayer, exhibits ...

Star Formation and the Solar System [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The Solar System provides a unique fossil record of a single star formation event. Investigation of a variety of materials such as interplanetary dust, meteorites, and comets may provide us with information about physical processes which operate on scales totally inaccessible to study in observable star forming regions.

From Single Atoms to Nanoparticles: Pathways Toward Efficient and Durable Pt/TiO2 Photocatalysts

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Platinum single atoms on TiO2 nanosheets evolve into clusters and nanoparticles under ethanol photoreforming and thermal treatments. By controlling deposition and post‐treatments, particle size and location on specific facets are modulated. The study reveals how stability pathways determine efficiency, guiding the design of more durable photocatalysts.

Forming Mercury from Excited Initial Conditions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Mercury is notoriously difficult to form in Solar System simulations, due to its small mass and iron-rich composition. Smooth particle hydrodynamics simulations of collisions have found that a Mercury-like body could be formed by one or multiple giant ...

Protracted Timescales for Nebular Processing of First-formed Solids in the Solar System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The calcium–aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) from chondritic meteorites are the first solids formed in the solar system. Rim formation around CAIs marks a time period in early solar system history when CAIs existed as free-floating objects and had not yet

Asteroidal differentiation processes deduced from ultramafic achondrite ureilite meteorites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Ureilite meteorites are partial melt residues of an asteroid-sized object. They record the differentiation process that transformed many asteroids during the earliest stages of solar system ...
