From fire whirls to blue whirls and combustion with reduced pollution. [PDF]
, 2016 Fire whirls are powerful, spinning disasters for people and surroundings when they occur in large urban and wildland fires. Whereas fire whirls have been studied for fire-safety applications, previous research has yet to harness their potential burning ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Non‐Equilibrium Synthesis Methods to Create Metastable and High‐Entropy Nanomaterials
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stabilizing multiple elements within a single phase enables the creation of advanced materials with exceptional properties arising from their complex composition. However, under equilibrium conditions, the Hume–Rothery rules impose strict limitations on solid‐state miscibility, restricting combinations of elements with mismatched crystal ...

Influences on the fraction of hydrophobic and hydrophilic black carbon in the atmosphere [PDF]
, 2011 Black carbon (BC) is a short term climate forcer that directly warms the atmosphere, slows convection, and hinders quantification of the effect of greenhouse gases on climate change.

Tunable surface adsorption and wettability of candle soot coated on ferroelectric ceramics
Journal of Advanced Research, 2019 A ferroelectric Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 (BCZTO) ceramic was prepared using a solid-state reaction route. A coating of candle soot was provided on poled and unpoled BCZTO samples.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.A core–shell strategy is presented to overcome the high first‐cycle losses of non‐graphitic hard carbon anodes. Activated carbon is sealed by gas‐phase carbon deposition to create semi‐permeable shells that spatially separate SEI formation from Na storage in a retained nanoporous core. The resulting anode delivers 400 ± 24 mAh g−1 with an ICE of 82 ± 2%
