Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Non‐fullerene acceptor aggregation regulation via additives dipole moment leads to 19.9% power conversion efficiency in bilayer organic solar cells

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Additives interact with non‐fullerene acceptors to modulate their aggregation behavior and molecular orientation via optimizing crystallization kinetics. The optimized morphology effectively suppresses charge carrier recombination and enhances charge transport. Notably, 2‐chloro‐1,3‐dibromobenzene with the dipole moments of 2.56 D enables the PM6/L8‐BO

Analysis of Different Solar Spectral Irradiance Reconstructions and Their Impact on Solar Heating Rates

, 2014
International audienceProper numerical simulation of the Earth's climate change requires reliable knowledge of solar irradiance and its variability on different time scales, as well as the wavelength dependence of this variability. As new measurements of

Bio‐inspired nanophotonics: Structural color, chirality, and resonance metasurfaces

InfoMat, EarlyView.
A butterfly‐wing‐inspired anisotropic plasmonic flatband resonant metasurface. Insets, photo of the butterfly, Sasakia charonda, and the SEM image of its wing scale (above); the SEM image of the metasurface (below). Abstract The dazzling colors of butterfly wings and hummingbird feathers are not painted with pigments, but crafted by nature's invisible ...

Decadal Changes of UV Aerosol Optical Depth in Hobart, Australia Measured With a Brewer MKIII: Relationship to Bushfire Events and Climate Indices

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Monthly average aerosol optical depth at 320 nm obtained with a Brewer MKIII spectrophotometer for Hobart, Australia (42.8806° S, 147.3250° E) over a 21‐year period. There is a linear trend of 15.4% per decade. There are 9 months when the average aerosol optical depth exceeds twice the monthly standard deviation.

Solar Variability in the Mg ii h and k Lines

The Astrophysical Journal
Solar irradiance and its variations in the ultraviolet (UV) control the photochemistry in Earth's atmosphere and influence Earth's climate. The variability in the Mg ii h and k core-to-wing ratio, also known as the Mg ii index, is highly correlated with ...

Characterising City Scale Heat Climatology for Australian Climate Zones

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Australian cities peaks at night, intensifying under dry conditions, clear skies, increased solar radiation, and low wind speeds. Long‐term observations show that nighttime temperatures in major cities have warmed faster than their rural surroundings and future climate projections fail to capture this disparity ...

Method Based on Continuous Artificial Dry and Humid UV Treatments to Reduce the Luminescence Background in the Raman Spectra of Plastics

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
We propose an UV photobleaching pretreatment to reduce the strong luminescence in the Raman spectra of plastic samples. Our protocol proves its efficiency whatever the luminescence origin (from the pigments or from a surface biofilm) but requires a careful optimization of the illumination conditions (UV wavelength, time, humidity) to reach the ...

Reaction Rate Coefficients and Adduct Formation in the Cl Atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH=CHCF2CF3 Reaction

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this work, rate coefficients for the Cl‐atom + (E)‐CF3CF2CH═CHCF2CF3 (HFO‐153‐10mczz, F22E) gas‐phase reaction were measured as a function of temperature and pressure, k(243–323 K, 50–300 Torr), using a pulsed laser photolysis‐resonance fluorescence (PLP‐RF) technique.

Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,
