A General Overview for Localizing Short Gamma-Ray Bursts with a CubeSat Mega-Constellation
The gamma-ray burst monitor (GBM) on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, for the first time, detected a short gamma ray burst (SGRB) signal that accompanies a gravitational wave signal GW170817 in 2017.

Anomalous Spin‐Optical Helical Effect in Ti‐Based Kagome Metal
The kagome lattice hosts diverse correlated quantum states, including elusive loop currents. We report spin‐handedness selective signals in CsTi3Bi5, termed the anomalous spin‐optical helical effect, surpassing conventional spin responses. Arising from light helicity coupled to spin‐orbital correlations, this effect provides a sensitive, indirect probe

Higher depletion of lithium in planet host stars: no age and mass effect
Recent observational work by Israelian et al. has shown that sun-like planet host stars in the temperature range 5700K < Teff < 5850K have lithium abundances that are significantly lower than those observed for "single" field stars. In this letter we use

Current Switching of Topological Spin Chirality in the van der Waals Antiferromagnet Co1/3TaS2
Spin chirality plays a central role in quantum magnetism, governing spin winding and generating real‐space Berry phases. We propose the intriguing concept of current‐switching spin chirality and demonstrate it via unconventional intrinsic self‐spin‐orbit‐torque in pristine Co1/3TaS2, purely by electrical current and with high energy efficiency.

Lyα Emission from K and M Dwarfs: Intrinsic Profiles, Variability, and Flux in the Habitable Zone
Lyman-alpha (Ly α ) is the most prominent ultraviolet (UV) emission line in low-mass stars, playing a crucial role in exoplanet atmospheric photochemistry, heating, and escape.

Electric‐Current‐Assisted Nucleation of Zero‐Field Hopfion Rings
This work reports a novel and efficient nucleation protocol for 3D localized topological magnetic solitons‐hopfion rings in chiral magnets using pulsed electric currents. By using Lorentz transmission electron microscopy and topological analysis, we report characteristic features and extraordinary stability of hopfion rings in zero or inverted external

Chemical enrichment and star formation in the Milky Way disk III. Chemodynamical constraints
In this paper, we investigate some chemokinematical properties of the Milky Way disk, by using a sample composed by 424 late-type dwarfs. We show that the velocity dispersion of a stellar group correlates with the age of this group, according to a law ...

Photocatalytic Water Splitting on the Lunar Surface: Prospects for In Situ Resource Utilization
Water has been found in craters on the moon nearby locations which are illuminated >80% of the time. Photocatalysis uses energy from sunlight to drive chemical reactions such as water splitting to produce oxygen and hydrogen. It is a scalable technology that requires lighter equipment and utilizes resources available on the moon. ABSTRACT The discovery
