Elevation bias due to penetration of spaceborne radar signal on Grosser Aletschgletscher, Switzerland

Journal of Glaciology
Digital elevation models (DEMs) from the spaceborne interferometric radar mission TanDEM-X hold a large potential for glacier change assessments. However, a bias is potentially introduced through the penetration of the X-band signal into snow and firn ...

In Situ Formation of a Highly Selective Nickel Single Atom Catalyst for Electrochemical CO2 Reduction to CO

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Development of a novel method for synthesizing Ni single atom catalysts for highly selective electrochemical CO2 reduction in situ. This catalyst achieves 100% selectivity for CO and is formed in an industrially relevant cell architecture. Using post‐mortem XRD, STEM, and EDS and operando XAS, the identity of the active site and the mechanism behind ...

A Self‐Cleaning Solar Evaporator Based on MXene/Aramid Nanofiber Aerogels for Efficient Water Desalination

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study develops a self‐cleaning solar evaporator based on MXene‐coated aramid nanofiber aerogels for efficient desalination under high‐salinity conditions. The cylindrical evaporator combines strong photothermal conversion, capillary water transport, and self‐rotation triggered by salt accumulation.

TanDEM-X: Block adjustment of interferometric height models [PDF]

, 2009
The TanDEM-X mission will derive a global digital elevation model (DEM) with satellite SAR interferometry. The aimed accuracies are an absolute, resp. relative height error of 10m resp. 2m for 90% of the data.

Conductive Tin Oxide Under the Thermal Budget of Perovskite/TOPCon Tandems: Toward Indium‐Free Contacts

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that achieving conductive undoped SnOx contacts required careful tailoring of oxygen vacancy (VO) tuning and defect engineering. Controlling oxygen deposition pressure and low‐temperature annealing (300°C) optimizes defect stoichiometry and mitigates carrier scattering. This low thermal budget approach significantly enhances Hall

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Origami‐Inspired Morphing Fuselage for Agile Fixed‐Wing Flight

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Conventional aircraft steer with rigid control surfaces. SoAR instead replaces the fuselage itself with a cable‐driven origami continuum body that bends in 3D and compresses on demand. Whole‐fuselage morphing steers fixed‐wing flight: achieving sharp, near‐zero‐radius turns and rapid braking without ailerons, rudder, or elevator, while the same ...
