This paper presents a validated 3D multi-physics digital twin of a thermomagnetic generator that achieves 95–96% accuracy in predicting performance, enabling the identification of specific inefficiencies and frequency-limiting factors to guide the development of more efficient waste heat recovery systems.
This study demonstrates that dilute Mg-Zn wires (0.4–1.5 wt% Zn) produced via hot extrusion exhibit fine equiaxed grains, high tensile strength, and reversible plasticity, making them a promising platform for biodegradable bone fixation despite rapid degradation in simulated body fluid.
This paper demonstrates the realization of scalable, programmable integrated magnonic circuits by monolithically cascading universal wave-based elements in yttrium iron garnet via direct laser writing, enabling complex multi-stage networks for on-chip radio-frequency signal routing without intermediate amplification.
This study demonstrates that trace doping of germanium anodes with large-atomic-size metals, particularly ytterbium, significantly enhances cycle stability by mechanically softening the material to suppress lithiation-induced cracking, thereby establishing mechanical compliance as a new design principle for high-capacity alloy electrodes.
This paper advocates for a paradigm shift from structure-centric to synthesis-first AI-driven materials discovery, proposing a roadmap that treats executable synthesis protocols as primary design variables to bridge the synthesizability gap through machine-readable representations, generative models, and closed-loop optimization.
This paper employs the Floquet-Magnus expansion to demonstrate that polarization ellipticity and the relative angle between electron momentum and the driving field serve as independent, tunable control parameters for the effective Rabi dynamics and occupation timing of resonantly driven Dirac electrons in graphene.
This theoretical study extends the framework for analyzing the Griffiths phase to three-dimensional antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic systems, revealing that their magnetic behavior is more unusual than that of conventional ferromagnetic systems while providing a method for identifying such phases.
This study reports a new cis-[Cd(Tz)₂(py)₂] complex that exhibits coordination-induced tuning of ligand-centered red emission, making it a promising warm-light semiconductor material for optoelectronic applications.
This paper introduces TrueEBSD, an open-source MATLAB add-on for MTEX that enables automatic image alignment and spatial distortion correction to facilitate correlative microscopy analysis by integrating EBSD maps with other imaging data for enhanced quantitative crystallographic measurements.
The authors developed accurate Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) models for cerium allotropes by globally optimizing electronic confining potentials, enabling the precise prediction of electronic band structures, energetic ordering, and complex f-electron interactions with minimal reliance on Density Functional Theory data.
