Getting Smart in the 21st Century: Exploring the Application of Smart Power in Deterring Insurgencies and Violent Non-State Actors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the 21st Century, violent non-state actors continue to pose an asymmetric threat to state actors. Given the increasing proliferation of lethal technologies, growing global social connectivity, and continued occurrences of failed or failing states, the

CLRe: A Synergistic Dual‐Engine Framework for One‐Step Retrosynthesis Prediction

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CLRe uses a contrastive difficulty score to order pretrained seq2seq fine‐tuning for retrosynthesis. Reaction embeddings define the ranking score, and a cumulative easy‐to‐hard schedule expands from the easiest subset to the full training set while earlier examples remain active.

Non‐Destructive, Reference‐Free Quantitative Analysis of TaOx Memristive Devices Using Soft X‐Ray Radiation

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A non‐destructive, quantitative approach has been developed to explore the nanoscale dynamics of TaOx‐based memristive devices. The utilization of nano‐X‐ray fluorescence analysis enables the direct probing of spatially resolved elemental distributions, including those present in buried layers, that are critical for the resistive switching.

Printed Flexible WO3‐Based Supercapacitors for Powering Low‐Powered Electronics in Wearable Devices and Energy Autonomous Temperature Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study represents one of the systematic demonstrations of a screen‐printed, flexible WO3‐based supercapacitor, exhibiting excellent charge‐storage performance for powering wearable electronics. The device shows a specific capacitance of 3.44 F g−1 and an energy density of 0.302 Wh kg−1 at 0.05 mA, which enable to operate multiple wearable ...

Safety of Sodium‐Ion Batteries: Evaluation and Perspective from Component Materials to Cells, Modules, and Packs

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review provides a bottom‐up evaluation of sodium‐ion battery safety, linking material degradation mechanisms, cell engineering parameters, and module/pack assembly. It emphasizes that understanding intrinsic material stability and establishing coordinated engineering control across hierarchical levels are vital for preventing degradation coupling ...
