Rigid‐Flexible Coupling Units Enable Robust Large Birefringence
A rigid–flexible coupling strategy, combining flexible (S3)2− linear units with rigid (VO4)3− tetrahedra, yields Sr4(VO4)2S3—a robust crystal exhibiting large birefringence (Δn = 0.52@550 nm) and remarkable thermal, air, and water stability. ABSTRACT Birefringent crystals are central to polarization control in laser technologies (e.g., wave plates and ...

Light‑Driven Propulsion of Graphene Aerogels in Microgravity
Ultralight graphene aerogels convert laser light into thrust. Parabolic‐flight experiments directly compare their motion in microgravity and at 1 g, revealing order‐of‐magnitude enhancements in distance, velocity, and transient thrust when weight and friction are removed (∼50 times enhancement).

High‐resolution multi‐sensor tag data from northern bottlenose whale populations in the northeast and northwest Atlantic showed differences in resting and foraging time budgets and behaviour. Skin biopsy stable isotopes corroborated likely dietary differences. Variability between populations has far‐reaching relevance for ecology and conservation, with

Study on Deformation Law of Crossing Layer Drilling Superimposed Floor Roadway
Based on deformation law of crossing layer drilling superimposed floor roadway, low dip angle drilling is particularly susceptible to complications such as borehole blockage and collapse. ABSTRACT Floor extraction roadway crossing layer drilling is a pivotal strategy for gas control in areas prone to coal and gas outbursts.
