Cheia de axé (full of axé): Spirituality, resistance, and repair in Pernambuco's Afro‐Brazilian traditional communities

open access: yesFeminist Anthropology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores how Afro‐Brazilian communities in Pernambuco respond to state‐led industrial development through culturally rooted practices of resistance and repair. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research in the coastal municipalities of Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca, this study traces the effects of Brazil's large‐scale ...

Experiment and Simulation of Self-excited Torkbuster

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2017
The stick-slip vibration is a technical bottleneck restricting for PDC bit in efficient drilling deep hard formation. To reduce the stick-slip vibration of drill bit during drilling deep hard formations, a torkbuster has been introduced.

Multi‐material and dual‐stimulus coupled actuation micro‐gears for shape–rotation control in intelligent micro‐electro‐mechanical systems

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
A multi‐material and dual‐stimulus coupled actuation micro‐gear (MDCAMG) is developed via femtosecond‐laser 3D printing combined with magnetic nanoparticle absorption, enabling integrated environmental sensing and remote actuation at the microscale. The device incorporates a pH‐responsive hydrogel matrix for autonomous swelling/shrinking and a magnetic

Advanced Functional Materials for Marine Energy Utilization

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Marine renewable energy is an important future clean energy supply. We construct and sort out the material system for marine energy capture and conversion, transmission, storage, and utilization for the first time. ABSTRACT Several features of marine energy, including large reserves, sustainable utilization, environmental friendliness, make it a ...

Superior through‐plane thermal conductivity in carbon fibers/spherical graphene/epoxy laminated composites for low‐altitude aircrafts

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
To address the low through‐plane thermal conductivity (λ⊥) of carbon fiber/epoxy composites, which poses thermal management challenges in the expanding low‐altitude economy, we incorporated spherical thermally reduced graphene (s‐TRG) as a bridging filler. This architectural design achieved a λ⊥ of 2.73 W m–1 K–1 at 10 wt% loading.

Plasmon–Exciton–Driven Modulation of the Electronic and Optical Properties of MoS2 via Cayley Tree Fractal Nanostructures

open access: yesJournal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
This work investigates the change in optical and electronic properties of monolayer MoS2 through the coupling of its excitons and a plasmonic fractal structure. The formation of the heterostructure shows significant enhancement on the edge of the fractal pattern relative to off, owing to the enhanced electric field at the edge of the branches.
