Three-dimensional magnetic fields of molecular clouds
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 To investigate the role of magnetic fields in the evolution of the interstellar medium, formation and evolution of molecular clouds, and ultimately the formation of stars, their three-dimensional (3D) magnetic fields must be probed.

Observation of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization with BICEP [PDF]
, 2009 Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP) is a bolometric polarimeter that has been optimized to target the B-mode of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization at degree angular scales, which is a sensitive probe of the ...

Magnetic field morphology in nearby molecular clouds as revealed by starlight and submillimetre polarization [PDF]
, 2016 15 pages, 10 figures, submitted to A&AInternational audienceWithin four nearby (d 10′ and for comparable column densities. At scales ℓ > 10′, we found differences of up to 14.̊7 between the second-order structure functions obtained from starlight and ...

Time-resolved Optical Polarization Monitoring of the Most Variable Brown Dwarf
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Recent atmospheric models for brown dwarfs suggest that the existence of clouds in substellar objects is not needed to reproduce their spectra, nor their rotationally induced photometric variability, believed to be due to the heterogeneous cloud coverage

It's Not a Bug, It's a Feature: Functional Materials in Insects
Advanced Materials, Volume 30, Issue 19, May 10, 2018., 2018 Insects have evolved manifold optimized solutions to everyday problems. The diversity and precision of their hierarchical material adaptations often outsmart and outperform current man‐made approaches. These materials hence provide an excellent basis for the inspiration of new technological approaches by taking design cues from nature's solutions ...
