A Closer Look at Dwarf Galaxies Exhibiting Mid-infrared Variability: Active Galactic Nuclei Confirmation and Comparison With Nonvariable Dwarf Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
Detecting active black holes in dwarf galaxies has proven to be a challenge due to their small size and weak electromagnetic signatures. Mid-infrared variability has emerged as a promising tool that can be used to detect active low-mass black holes in ...

Electrocatalyst/Semiconductor Interfaces in Photoelectrocatalysts: Mechanistic Analysis of the Impact of Nanoparticle Electrocatalyst Coverage on Performance

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Reducing Ni nanoparticle coverage on n‐Si photoanodes enhances photovoltage by promoting thicker interfacial SiOx formation during photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Experiments, analytical modeling, and finite‐element simulations reveal that coverage‐dependent chemical interface evolution, rather than geometric effects alone ...

Extreme Values of Black-hole-to-stellar-mass Ratio for High-redshift Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
With recent data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), it is possible to calculate the mass of the supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies and the stellar mass of the host galaxies at redshift z  ≳ 5. In this work, we apply extreme-value

Sustainable Poly(Lactic Acid)/Graphene Oxide Bioelectronic Platform for Neurotransmitters Sensing and Tunable Stimulation of Astrocytes

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces sustainable PLA/graphene oxide bioelectronic interfaces featuring electrodes with tunable conductivity and strong electrocatalytic performance. These platforms were used to implement a new method for tuning astrocyte Ca2+ signaling and for the efficient detection of key biomarkers.

Ion Concentration and Voltage Imaging With Fluorescent Nanodiamonds

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate reversible switching between the fluorescent NV0 and the dark NV+ state, in sub‐30 nm FNDs via surface oxidation and hydrogenation, respectively. In an electrochemical cell, we show that the fluorescence from hydrogenated particles enables all‐optical imaging of voltages and ion concentrations at the micrometer scale.

Exploring the Spin Dependence on Mass Inclination and Distance for the Newly Discovered Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J151857.0–572147

The Astrophysical Journal
The black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0−572147 was discovered during its first outburst in 2024 March. We review the archive of NICER observations from this outburst, focusing on the soft states.

Bifunctional Catalysis Drives Efficient and Ethanol‐Producing Aqueous Zn‐CO2 Batteries

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A unified bifunctional catalyst breaks the trade‐off between CO2 reduction and O2 evolution, delivering high efficiency, ethanol production, and long‐term stability in Zn‐CO2 batteries while revealing degradation pathways for next‐generation bifunctional electrocatalysts.

Quantum Aspects of Black Holes [PDF]

, 2006
In this thesis we study two quantum aspects of black holes, their entropy and the Hawking effect. First, we present a model for the statistical interpretation of black hole entropy and show that this entropy emerges as a result of missing information ...

A Comparison of the X-Ray Polarimetric Properties of Stellar and Supermassive Black Holes

The Astrophysical Journal
X-ray polarization provides a new way to probe accretion geometry in black hole systems. If the accretion geometry of black holes is similar regardless of mass, we should expect the same to be true of their polarization properties.
