Water under hydrophobic confinement: entropy and diffusion

The properties of liquid water are known to change drastically in confined geometries. A most interesting and intriguing phenomenon is that the diffusion of water is found to be strongly enhanced by the proximity of a hydrophobic confining wall relative to the bulk diffusion. We report a molecular dynamics simulation using a classical water model investigating the water diffusion near a non-interacting smooth confining wall, which is assumed to imitate a hydrophobic surface, revealing a pronounced diffusion enhancement within several water layers adjacent to the wall. We present evidence that the observed diffusion enhancement can be accounted for, with a quantitative accuracy, using the universal scaling law for liquid diffusion that relates the diffusion rate to the excess entropy. These results show that the scaling law, which has so far only been used for the description of the diffusion in simple liquids, can successfully describe the diffusion in water. It is shown that the law can be used for the analysis of water dynamics under nanoscale hydrophobic confinement, which is currently a subject of intense research activity.

Ekman-driven salt transport as a key mechanism for open-ocean polynya formation at Maud Rise

Open-ocean polynyas formed over the Maud Rise, in the Weddell Sea, during the winters of 2016–2017. Such polynyas are rare events in the Southern Ocean and are associated with deep convection, affecting regional carbon and heat budgets. Using an ocean state estimate, we found that during 2017, early sea ice melting occurred in response to enhanced vertical mixing of heat, which was accompanied by mixing of salt. The melting sea ice compensated for the vertically mixed salt, resulting in a net buoyancy gain. An additional salt input was then necessary to destabilize the upper ocean. This came from a hitherto unexplored polynya-formation mechanism: an Ekman transport of salt across a jet girdling the northern flank of the Maud Rise. Such transport was driven by intensified eastward surface stresses during 2015–2018. Our results illustrate how highly localized interactions between wind, ocean flow and topography can trigger polynya formation in the open Southern Ocean.

Distinct Fracture Mineralogy That is Out of Equilibrium With Modern Groundwaters Provides Important Context for Subsurface Life

Rock fracture surfaces in the crust are essential habitat for microorganisms. Fracture‐groundwater interfaces provide physical substrates for biofilm growth and are sources of carbon, nutrients, and electron donors and acceptors. To better understand geochemical processes impacting fracture surfaces and the subsurface microbiome, we identified fractures in archived rock cores from the Soudan formation, which is known to host saline groundwaters and isolated microbial communities dependent on rock‐water interactions. Cores with open fractures were thin sectioned and studied via electron microprobe and synchrotron X‐ray fluorescence microprobe. Most fracture surfaces had mineralogy distinct from that of the bulk rock. Chlorite minerals were abundant on fracture surfaces and had elemental compositions suggesting deposition during late‐stage hydrothermal alteration. Fracture‐lining chlorites likely limit access to iron oxide and sulfide minerals that are active in subsurface biogeochemical cycles. Calcium‐rich rinds were also observed along fracture edges. These rinds were too thin and poorly ordered to be identified via light microscopy or X‐ray diffraction; however, Ca K‐edge micro‐X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure spectroscopy identified them as carbonates, minerals not observed in the bulk rock. Thermodynamic modeling shows that carbonate precipitation is largely unfavorable in Soudan groundwaters, indicating that fracture edge conditions differed from those in modern water samples. Because of the low carbon concentrations in Soudan groundwaters, carbonate rinds likely play an important role in subsurface carbon cycling and may mark fracture surfaces that once hosted biofilms. Overall, this study suggests that fracture alteration can both play an active role in and suppress rock‐water interactions essential to subsurface life.

Insights into controlling bacterial cellulose nanofiber film properties through balancing thermodynamic interactions and colloidal dynamics

In recent years, nanocellulose has emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petroleum-derived structural polymers. Sourced either from plants, algae, or bacteria, nanocellulose can be processed into colloid, gel, film and fiber forms. However, the required fundamental understanding of process parameters that govern the morphology and structure–property relationships of nanocellulose systems, from colloidal suspensions to bulk materials, has not been developed and generalized for all forms of cellulose. This further hinders the more widespread adoption of this biopolymer in applications. Our study investigates the dispersion of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) produced by a bacterial–yeast co-culture, in solvents, highlighting the role of thermodynamic interactions in influencing their colloidal behavior. By adjusting Hansen solubility parameters, we controlled the thermodynamic relationship between CNFs and solvents across various concentrations, studying the dilute to semi-dilute regimes. Rheological measurements revealed that the threshold at which a concentration-based regime transition occurs is distinctly solvent-dependent. Complementing rheological analysis with small angle X-ray scattering and zeta potential measurements, our findings reveal that enhancing CNF–solvent interactions increases excluded volume in the dilute regime, emphasizing the importance of the balance between fiber–fiber and fiber–solvent interactions. Moreover, we investigated the transition from colloidal to solid state by creating films from dispersions with varying interaction parameters in semi-dilute regimes. Through mechanical testing and scanning electron microscopy imaging of the fracture surfaces, we highlight the significance of electrokinetic effects in such transitions, as dispersions with higher electrokinetic stabilization gave rise to stronger and tougher films despite having less favorable thermodynamic interaction parameters. Finally, our work provides insights into the thermodynamic and electrokinetic interplay that governs bacterial CNF dispersion, offering a foundation for future application and a deeper understanding of nanocellulose's colloidal and structure-property relationships.

Damage progression and failure of SiC/SiC composite tubes under hard-contact radial expansion

The response of silicon carbide (SiC) fiber-reinforced SiC matrix (SiC/SiC) composite cladding to mechanical interaction with fissile fuel is a knowledge gap that must be overcome to design and assess SiC-based cladding systems for advanced nuclear applications. This study developed the relevant mechanical testing capability and identified the failure behavior and the critical microstructural features and processing defects. Sections of SiC composite tube were subjected to a modified expansion-due-to-compression (EDC) test in an X-ray computed tomography microscope: a polyurethane plug pressed surrogate Al 2 O 3 into the inner walls of the SiC/SiC composite tubes to achieve hard contact. A pure EDC test with just a polyurethane plug was also performed as a reference. Through the use of displacement fields, digital volume correlation revealed inhomogeneous deformation fields in the tubes, even for pure EDC, which was related to the inherent defects in the structure. Deep learning–aided segmentation and systematic data analysis revealed that the presence of inhomogeneous deformation applied by the hard contact was exaggerated by the presence of inner surface imperfections left behind from the matrix densification process. In conclusion, the findings provide insights into the applications, highlighting the necessity for improvements in inner surface roughness and the incorporation of localized contacts in pellet–cladding mechanical interaction computational models.

Photon-magnon coupling using gain-assisted spoof-localized surface plasmons

Improving the photon-magnon coupling strength can be done by tuning the structure of microwave resonators to better interact with the magnon counterpart. Planar resonators accommodating unconventional photon modes beyond the half- and quarter-wavelength designs have been explored due to their optimized mode profiles and potentials for on-chip integration. Here, we designed and fabricated an actively controlled ring resonator supporting the spoof localized surface plasmons (LSPs), and implemented it in the investigation of photon-magnon coupling for hybrid magnonic applications. We demonstrated gain-assisted photon-magnon coupling with the YIG magnon mode under several different sample geometries. The achieved coupling amplification largely benefits from the high quality factor (Q-factor) due to the additional gain provided by a semiconductor amplifier, which effectively increases the Q-factor from a nearly null state (passive resonance) to more than 1000 for a quadrupole LSP mode. Our results suggest an additional control knob for manipulating photon-magnon coupled systems exploiting external controls of gain and loss.

Observations of Coastal Wind Momentum Flux: Dependence on Fetch and Waves with Comparisons to COARE

Here, using observations from the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory, this paper investigates how momentum flux in the marine atmospheric surface layer over the coastal ocean varies with fetch, wave age, and wave slope and assesses the performance of the COARE 3.5 bulk parameterization. Long-fetch (at least 300 km) and short-fetch (3–6 km away from land) conditions have very similar momentum flux, with the latter being just 15% higher. The COARE 3.5 wind speed–dependent formulation closely matches the observations. The sea state dependence of wave age and wave slope is analyzed by considering both peak frequency and mean frequency in a wave spectrum. The slope of regression lines between normalized roughness and wave age is sensitive to wind speed ranges and the scatter of momentum flux, potentially explaining why earlier studies did not find a universal formula to characterize the wave dependence. Although the observed momentum flux exhibits an obvious dependence on wave age, a robust quadratic fit between momentum flux and the 10-m neutral wind speed exists only for young waves. For the short-fetch conditions, the momentum flux does not increase as wave slope increases. This may be because waves generated by local wind are still weak and swell that propagates from other areas dominates the wave spectra. In other words, the wave slope computed by considering the spectra does not properly reflect the local wind–wave interaction.

Practical Considerations for Understanding Surface Reaction Mechanisms Involved in Heterogeneous Catalysis

Acquiring useful knowledge about the active site(s) of a catalyst, nature of reactant–catalyst interactions, nature of reactive intermediates, rate-determining step, reaction rate orders that affect various process parameters, and reaction mechanism as a whole is exceedingly challenging. This is especially true in the case of heterogeneous catalysts due to the complexity of the nature of surface active sites and their nonstatic behavior. Here, we present our perspective on differentiating between various surface reaction mechanisms in light of pioneering studies by leaders in the field, with the aim of clarifying some of the confusion associated with these complex mechanisms, especially the Eley–Rideal mechanism. Using bibliometric analysis, we identify and discuss the following four reactions that most commonly invoke the Eley– Rideal mechanism: H 2 activation, CO oxidation, esterification of alcohols by acids, and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with NH 3 . Our analysis of studies utilizing well-suited experimental and computational methodologies for differentiating surface reaction mechanisms suggests that the above-mentioned four reactions do not occur via the Eley–Rideal mechanism. Instead, each reaction occurs via the Langmuir–Hinshelwood mechanism with nonidealities present. Lastly, we highlight practical considerations regarding select experimental (characterization methods and differential kinetics) and computational modeling that we believe can provide useful insights to accurately discern between the various possible reaction mechanisms in heterogeneous catalysis.

Changing effects of external forcing on Atlantic–Pacific interactions

Recent studies have highlighted the increasingly dominant role of external forcing in driving Atlantic and Pacific Ocean variability during the second half of the 20th century. This paper provides insights into the underlying mechanisms driving interactions between modes of variability over the two basins. We define a set of possible drivers of these interactions and apply causal discovery to reanalysis data, two ensembles of pacemaker simulations where sea surface temperatures in either the tropical Pacific or the North Atlantic are nudged to observations, and a pre-industrial control run. We also utilize large-ensemble means of historical simulations from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to quantify the effect of external forcing and improve the understanding of its impact. A causal analysis of the historical time series between 1950 and 2014 identifies a regime switch in the interactions between major modes of Atlantic and Pacific climate variability in both reanalysis and pacemaker simulations. A sliding window causal analysis reveals a decaying El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effect on the Atlantic as the North Atlantic fluctuates towards an anomalously warm state. The causal networks also demonstrate that external forcing contributed to strengthening the Atlantic's negative-sign effect on ENSO since the mid-1980s, where warming tropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures induce a La Niña-like cooling in the equatorial Pacific during the following season through an intensification of the Pacific Walker circulation. The strengthening of this effect is not detected when the historical external forcing signal is removed in the Pacific pacemaker ensemble. The analysis of the pre-industrial control run supports the notion that the Atlantic and Pacific modes of natural climate variability exert contrasting impacts on each other even in the absence of anthropogenic forcing. The interactions are shown to be modulated by the (multi)decadal states of temperature anomalies of both basins with stronger connections when these states are “out of phase”. We show that causal discovery can detect previously documented connections and provides important potential for a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving changes in regional and global climate variability.

Study of CO 2 Adsorption Properties on the SrTiO 3 (001) Surface with Ambient Pressure XPS

The adsorption properties of CO 2 on the SrTiO 3 (001) surface were investigated using ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. On the Nb-doped TiO 2 -enriched (1 × 1) SrTiO 3 surface, CO 2 adsorption, i.e., the formation of CO 3 surface species, occurs first at the oxygen lattice site under 10 –6 mbar CO 2 at room temperature. The interaction of CO 2 molecules with oxygen vacancies begins when the CO 2 pressure increases to 0.25 mbar. The adsorbed CO 3 species on the Nb-doped SrTiO 3 surface increases continuously as the pressure increases but starts to leave the surface as the surface temperature increases, which occurs at approximately 373 K on the defect-free surface. On the undoped TiO 2 -enriched (1 × 1) SrTiO 3 surface, CO 2 adsorption also occurs first at the lattice oxygen sites. Both the doped and undoped SrTiO 3 surfaces exhibit an enhancement of the CO 3 species with the presence of oxygen vacancies, thus indicating the important role of oxygen vacancies in CO 2 dissociation. When OH species are removed from the undoped SrTiO 3 surface, the CO 3 species begin to form under 10 –6 mbar at 573 K, thus indicating the critical role of OH in preventing CO 2 adsorption. The observed CO 2 adsorption properties of the various SrTiO 3 surfaces provide valuable information for designing SrTiO 3 -based CO 2 catalysts.

Coercivity of (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B Nanowire and Its Bonded Magnet

(Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B are potential permanent magnets material due to its large saturation magnetization and high Curie temperature. However, it has moderate magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) and low coercivity. One way to improve its coercivity is to combine the contributions from magnetocrystalline- and magnetic-shape anisotropy by preparing (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B nanowires. We study the effects of size, morphology, and surface defects on the hard magnetic properties of nanowires using micromagnetic simulation. The hard magnetic properties of (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B nanowire-bonded magnets are estimated, including the role of inter-wire magnetostatic interaction. By considering the existence of local reductions in MCA energy of up to 30% on the surface layer of nanowires, the anisotropic bonded magnet with a 65% vol. of (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B nanowires would have typical remanence, B r = 7.6–8.4 kG, coercivity, H ci = 9.6–9.9 kOe, and maximum energy product, (BH) m = 14–17.8 MGOe. Developing effective technology for synthesizing nanowires and fabricating corresponding bonded magnets is promising for manufacturing practical magnets based on the magnetic phase with a relatively low or moderate MCA, such as (Fe 0.7 Co 0.3 ) 2 B.

Emergence of Diverse Failure Patterns in Weathering‐Induced Landslides: Insights From Particle Finite Element Simulations

Weathering is a fundamental driver of landslide evolution over geological timescales. Despite its ubiquity and importance, quantifying how weathering drives the progressive destabilization of rock slopes remains challenging. In this work, we develop a unified computational framework based on the particle finite element method to investigate the evolution of weathering‐induced landslides, from long‐term weathering to short‐term slope failure and runout dynamics. The framework integrates key processes, including weathering front propagation, time‐dependent strength degradation, rupture surface development, and post‐failure runout dynamics. Through numerical simulation experiments, we elucidate how interactions among weathering characteristics (type, intensity, and rate law), bedrock strength, fracture distribution, and slope geometry govern the failure modes and kinematics of weathering‐induced landslides. Simulations show that matrix‐dominated weathering leads to shallow translational failures, whereas fracture‐dominated weathering produces deep‐seated rotational and compound landslides. Pre‐existing fractures and slope morphology also strongly influence the movement of destabilized landmasses, affecting the failure pattern (e.g., kinematic mode and rupture surface geometry) and post‐failure behavior (e.g., runout velocity). We further demonstrate that the failure time and volume of weathered slopes are governed by the competition between gravitational driving forces and cohesive resisting forces during progressive destabilization. These findings provide new insights into the fundamental mechanisms that drive the emergence of diverse failure patterns of weathering‐induced landslides with important implications for landslide hazard assessment.

Structural and functional insights into the interaction between the bacteriophage T4 DNA processing proteins gp32 and Dda

Abstract Bacteriophage T4 is a classic model system for studying the mechanisms of DNA processing. A key protein in T4 DNA processing is the gp32 single-stranded DNA-binding protein. gp32 has two key functions: it binds cooperatively to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to protect it from nucleases and remove regions of secondary structure, and it recruits proteins to initiate DNA processes including replication and repair. Dda is a T4 helicase recruited by gp32, and we purified and crystallized a gp32–Dda–ssDNA complex. The low-resolution structure revealed how the C-terminus of gp32 engages Dda. Analytical ultracentrifugation analyses were consistent with the crystal structure. An optimal Dda binding peptide from the gp32 C-terminus was identified using surface plasmon resonance. The crystal structure of the Dda–peptide complex was consistent with the corresponding interaction in the gp32–Dda–ssDNA structure. A Dda-dependent DNA unwinding assay supported the structural conclusions and confirmed that the bound gp32 sequesters the ssDNA generated by Dda. The structure of the gp32–Dda–ssDNA complex, together with the known structure of the gp32 body, reveals the entire ssDNA binding surface of gp32. gp32–Dda–ssDNA complexes in the crystal are connected by the N-terminal region of one gp32 binding to an adjacent gp32, and this provides key insights into this interaction.

Deciphering yield modification of hadron-triggered semi-inclusive recoil jets in heavy-ion collisions

Jet quenching is recognized as critical evidence for the existence of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and serves as an essential probe to study its transport properties. Measurements of hadron-triggered semi-inclusive recoil jets have gained popularity due to its capability to probe jets over an extended phase space at low transverse momenta (p T ) and large radii. Recent ALICE measurements showed that the I AA , yield ratio of recoil jets between heavy-ion and p+p collisions, rises with jet p T and exceeds unity at high p T , contradicting conventional expectations that jet quenching should result in I AA values less than one. In this contribution, we re-examine the surface bias and study the effects of energy losses for both trigger hadrons and recoil jets on I AA , employing the Linear Boltzmann Transport (LBT) model to simulate jet-medium interactions. Our findings suggest that a large portion of hadrons used for the triggers undergoes substantial energy loss, despite surface bias. In particular, the energy loss of the trigger hadrons elevates the I AA baseline, corresponding to the case of no energy loss for recoil jets, to be greatly larger than unity. This enhancement of the baseline implies that the measured I AA values being larger than unity could still signal jet quenching.

Mitigated Dissimilar Mass Transfer with Aluminized RAFM Steels in Flowing PbLi at 650°C

To evaluate dissimilar material interactions in flowing eutectic Pb-16at. %Li between fusion-relevant materials and to establish a maximum operating temperature of future blanket designs, a series of thermal convection loop (TCL) experiments with flowing PbLi have been conducted. Following a 1000-h, 550°C to 650°C TCL experiment, a thin reaction product was observed on the surface of monolithic, high-purity SiC. To identify the source of the observed dissimilar material interaction and to understand the reaction kinetics, an identical 2000-h TCL exposure was conducted, but less reaction of the SiC specimen was observed. Characterization of the FeCrAlMo (alloy APMT) loop tubing and the PbLi-exposed austenitic stainless steel (SS) assembly parts suggested that the formation of the reaction layer on the surface of the PbLi-exposed SiC did not originate from the coated reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) steel, but from the dissolved loop materials (liquid metal exposed APMT tubing and type 316 SS fittings). Here, the results, after 2000 h, suggest that the dissimilar material reaction between the Al-coated RAFM steel and the SiC has very slow reaction kinetics within a temperature gradient of 550°C to 650°C.

Demonstration of full-scale spatiotemporal diagnostics of solid-density plasmas driven by an ultra-short relativistic laser pulse using an X-ray free-electron laser

Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser–solid interactions is of fundamental importance for applications of laser–plasma-based particle accelerators, the creation of high-energy-density matter, understanding planetary science, and laser-driven fusion energy. However, experimental efforts in this regime have been limited by the lack of accessibility of over-critical densities and the poor spatiotemporal resolution of conventional diagnostics. Over the last decade, the advent of femtosecond brilliant hard X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has opened new horizons to overcome these limitations. Here, for the first time, we present full-scale spatiotemporal measurements of solid-density plasma dynamics, including preplasma generation with tens of nanometer scale length driven by the leading edge of a relativistic laser pulse, ultrafast heating and ionization at the main pulse arrival, the laser-driven blast wave, and transient surface return current-induced compression dynamics up to hundreds of picoseconds after interaction. These observations are enabled by utilizing a novel combination of advanced X-ray diagnostics including small-angle X-ray scattering, resonant X-ray emission spectroscopy, and propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging simultaneously at the European XFEL-HED beamline station.

Direct conversion of methane to aromatics and hydrogen via a heterogeneous trimetallic synergistic catalyst

Abstract Non-oxidative methane dehydro-aromatization reaction can co-produce hydrogen and benzene effectively on a molybdenum-zeolite based thermochemical catalyst, which is a very promising approach for natural-gas upgrading. However, the low methane conversion and aromatics selectivity and weak durability restrain the realistic application for industry. Here, a mechanism for enhancing catalysis activity on methane activation and carbon-carbon bond coupling has been found to promote conversion and selectivity simultaneously by adding platinum–bismuth alloy cluster to form a trimetallic catalyst on zeolite (Pt-Bi/Mo/ZSM-5). This bimetallic alloy cluster has synergistic interaction with molybdenum: the formed CH 3 * from Mo 2 C on the external surface of zeolite can efficiently move on for C-C coupling on the surface of Pt-Bi particle to produce C 2 compounds, which are the key intermediates of oligomerization. This pathway is parallel with the catalysis on Mo inside the cage. This catalyst demonstrated 18.7% methane conversion and 69.4% benzene selectivity at 710 °C. With 95% methane/5% nitrogen feedstock, it exhibited robust stability with slow deactivation rate of 9.3% after 2 h and instant recovery of 98.6% activity after regeneration in hydrogen. The enhanced catalytic activity is strongly associated with synergistic interaction with Mo and ligand effects of alloys by extensive mechanism studies and DFT calculation.

Structural metamaterials with innate capacitive and resistive sensing

Interpenetrating lattices consist of two or more interwoven but physically separate sub-lattices with unique behaviors derived from their multi-body construction. If the sublattices are constructed or coated with an electrically conducting material, the close proximity and high surface area of the electrically isolated conductors allow the two lattices to interact electromagnetically either across the initial dielectric filled gap or through physical contact. Furthermore, changes in the size of the dielectric gap between the sub-lattices induced by deformation can be measured via capacitance or resistance, allowing a structurally competent lattice to operate as a force or deformation sensor. In addition to resistive and capacitive deformation sensing, this work explores capacitance as a fundamental metamaterial property and the environmental sensing behaviors of interpenetrating lattices.
