Properties of massive stars in four clusters of the VVV survey

open access: yes, 2015
The evolution of massive stars is only partly understood. Observational constraints can be obtained from the study of massive stars located in young massive clusters.

Advancements in Carbon‐Based Piezoelectric Materials: Mechanism, Classification, and Applications in Energy Science

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon‐based piezoelectric materials are systematically categorized based on their structural and functional properties. The mechanisms of stress‐induced charge transfer are elucidated, and their applications are explored across three key domains: piezoelectric catalysis for energy conversion and environmental remediation, piezoelectric biomedical ...

Constraints on possible age spreads within young massive clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent studies have shown that the observed main-sequence turn-off (MSTO) in colour-magnitude diagrams of intermediate age (1-2 Gyr) clusters in the LMC are broader than would be nominally expected for a simple stellar population.

The Origin of OB Runaway Stars

open access: yes, 2011
About 20% of all massive stars in the Milky Way have unusually high velocities, the origin of which has puzzled astronomers for half a century. We argue that these velocities originate from strong gravitational interactions between single stars and ...

Unperceivable Designs of Wearable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Unperceivable wearable technologies seamlessly integrate into everyone's daily life, for healthcare and Internet‐of‐Things applications. By remaining completely unnoticed both visually and tactilely, by the user and others, they ensure medical privacy and allow natural social interactions.

The galactocentric radius dependent upper mass limit of young star clusters: stochastic star formation ruled out

open access: yes, 2013
It is widely accepted that the distribution function of the masses of young star clusters is universal and can be purely interpreted as a probability density distribution function with a constant upper mass limit.

Thermally Actuated Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the recent development of thermally actuated soft robotics, highlighting the four major heating mechanisms, as well as structural designs, thermal management, material innovations, and emerging applications. A summary and outlook section present the current challenges of thermally actuated soft robots and the future directions to

From Young Massive Clusters to Old Globular Clusters: Density Profile Evolution and Intermediate-mass Black Hole Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The surface brightness profiles of globular clusters are conventionally described with the well-known King profile. However, observations of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the local Universe suggest that they are better fit by simple models with flat ...

Primordial alignment of elliptical galaxies in intermediate redshift clusters

open access: yes, 2015
We measure primordial alignments for the red galaxies in the sample of eight massive galaxy clusters in the southern sky from the CLASH-VLT Large Programme, at a median redshift of 0.375.

Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...
