Influence of Lowering Soot‐Water Contact Angle on Ice Nucleation of Ozone‐Aged Soot

Geophysical Research Letters
Organic‐lean and organic‐rich size‐selected soot particles were exposed to a varying O3 concentration, progressively decreasing the soot‐water contact angle (θ) to study its impact on ice nucleation (IN).

Experimental and numerical investigations of soot formation in propane laminar coflow flames in O2/N2 and O2/CO2 atmospheres

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Oxygen-rich combustion is a new type of clean combustion technology with important application prospects. At present, there are few detailed analyses on the mechanism changes of soot formation under oxygen enrichment of propane.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Cedar Façade Flame Spread With Respect to Sidewall

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to growing energy conservation and carbon neutrality efforts, façade systems incorporating wooden materials have attracted increasing attention, which in turn raises concerns about their combustibility. This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of flame spread along cedar façades.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Local Structures of Se and Br in Cretaceous–Paleogene Boundary Sediments and Concentration Effects of Ferrihydrite Originating From Impact Ejecta

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

Endohedral fullerenes as qubits: From synthesis to quantum computing applications

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Endohedral fullerenes emerge as promising platforms for qubits and qudits. This review surveys the primary synthesis routes, from arc‐discharge to high‐yield molecular surgery. It then details spin manipulation and readout in key systems, including metal‐based, cluster, and nitrogen‐containing fullerenes.

Models of DG‐Carbon Bands in Raman Spectra: Effects of Basis Functions and Initial Values on the Uniqueness and S/N of Fits Obtained for Atmospheric Aerosol Using Automated Methods

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Raman spectra containing D/G features are fit using combinations of basis functions and initial conditions. Fits with two Lorentzian functions converged to a single optimized fit even with variation of initial peak positions. For five‐band fits, sometimes the final fit varied with initial conditions, and constraints on peak center position were ...

Bio‐Derived Carbon Nanoparticles: A Green Amendment for Alleviating Heavy Metals in Soil–Plant Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) contamination of soil–plant systems poses persistent ecological and health risks, driving interest in nanoparticle‐based remediation. Although conventional chemically synthesized nanoparticles (CSNPs) are effective, their energy‐intensive production and residual toxicity limit sustainable deployment.
