Spontaneous Cyclic Levitation of Glycerol‐Water Droplets at Low Pressures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Under low pressure, a minute glycerol addition transforms the chaotic dynamics of freezing water droplets into cyclic levitation. Freeze‐concentration preserves liquid pathways that relax expansion‐induced stress, while freezing point depression weakens asymmetric vaporization recoil.

Microlensing for extrasolar planets : improving the photometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Gravitational Microlensing, as a technique for detecting Extrasolar Planets, is recognised for its potential in discovering small-mass planets similar to Earth, at a distance of a few Astronomical Units from their host stars.

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

A multi-scale comparison of polar vortices on Earth, Mars, Titan, and Venus

open access: yes地球与行星物理论评
Although previous studies have analyzed the unique structural characteristics of the polar vortices on Earth, Venus, Mars, and Titan, the understanding of the polar vortices on Venus and Titan is primarily based on small-scale case studies due to the ...

Enriched Soil Organic Carbon Underpins Long‐Term Stable Crop Productivity Across China's Croplands

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Quantifying the nonlinear relationships and causal effects of soil organic carbon (SOC) on crop stability reveals specific critical thresholds and saturation points. This partitions the national SOC spectrum into three functional phases. Integrating these spatial delineations with high‐resolution maps of marginal gains pinpoints regions with the ...

Breaking the Durability–Power Trade‐Off: Boron‐Directed Faceted O3 Cathodes for High‐Rate Sodium‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Boron‐oxide‐assisted particle engineering stabilizes O3‐type layered cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries by mitigating phase transitions and lattice strain. Acting as flux and structural modifier, boron forms submicron hexagonal platelets with (003) facets and expanded Na‐layer spacing, enabling rapid Na⁺ diffusion and mechanical resilience.

MXene‐Derived Highly Oriented TiN Enables Ta3N5 Photoanodes for Transmission‐Mode Bias‐Free Solar Water Splitting

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports 2D MXene‐derived TiN thin films with (111)‐preferred orientation for transparent Ta3N5 photoanodes, demonstrating effective electron transfer behavior. All‐nitride electron‐collection architecture based on MXene‐derived TiN and n‐GaN resolves a long‐standing materials bottleneck between photocarrier transport and light transmission in

Forming Massive Terrestrial Satellites through Binary-exchange Capture

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The number of planetary satellites around solid objects in the inner solar system is small either because they are difficult or unlikely to form or because they do not survive for astronomical timescales.

Shock Events in the Solar System: The Message from Minerals in Terrestrial Planets and Asteroids

open access: yesAnnual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2013
Impacts are central to the origin and evolution of planets of the Solar System. The shapes of craters, which can reach up to 1,000 km in diameter on the Moon, provide critical information on the large-scale dynamics of the impact and related shock. Minerals formed at high pressure and temperature found in shocked terrestrial rocks and meteorites give ...
