Machine Learning Accelerated Non‐Adiabatic Molecular Dynamics Elucidates Local Polarization Effects on Non‐radiative Recombination in Halide Perovskites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposes and constructs the Hefei‐NAMD‐S framework based on machine learning stacked models to investigate the relationship between local polarization and non‐radiative recombination. The results indicate that, compared with A‐site local polarization, B‐site local polarization shows a more evident association with the non‐radiative ...

Programmable Elastic Wave Control Via Mechanical‐Acoustic Interaction in Bistable Metamaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A mechanically programmable metamaterial based on mechanical‐acoustic interaction enables reconfigurable elastic wave control through bistable state switching. Spatial encoding of peak and valley states tunes band structures and transmission, achieving low‐frequency vibration suppression, waveguiding, and energy localization.

Trapped torsional vibrations in elastic plates [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2005
We report observation and analysis of trapped torsional vibrations in elastic plates. Each trapping element consists of a circular mesa machined in cast aluminum plate, with an electromagnetic acoustic transducer used to generate oscillatory surface traction. Suitably applied traction induced torsional vibrations trapped in the mesa.

Investigation of the Effects of Vortex Isolation Plates with Different Opening Ratios and Sizes on Vortex-Induced Vibration

Applied Sciences
Twin-box girders are a good option for long-span cable-bearing bridges due to their excellent stability. Nonetheless, the girder’s slots may generate vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs). Fortunately, appropriate aerodynamic measures can effectively suppress

Taming Flexibility: Synergistic Pore and Polarity Engineering in a MOF for High‐Efficiency Xe/Kr Separation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through a mixed‐ligand strategy that precisely regulates pore size and framework polarity, the Xe adsorption behavior is transformed from flexible to near‐rigid. ZIF‐7‐Cl(20) achieves sensitive recognition, efficient capture, and high selectivity for Xe, enabling high‐efficiency separation from Xe/Kr mixtures.
