In the search for promising material candidates for hydrogen storage, we investigate from first principles derivatives of metal organic framework 5 (MOF-5), including isoelectronic substitution of the metal centers (Zn $\rightarrow$ Mg, Cd) and linker functionalization with NH$_2$, OH, and NO$_2$ groups. Metal-node su…

Fabricating high-resolution conductive circuits on natural wood remains challenging due to its porous, anisotropic structure, which causes uncontrolled reagent diffusion and poor pattern fidelity. SophWood, a spatially confined in-situ polymerization strategy, selectively deposits polypyrrole (PPy) within laser-define…

Urea electrolysis couples the anodic urea oxidation reaction (UOR) with the cathodic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), making the balance between the two half-reactions critical to bifunctional electrode selection. Here, Ni(OH)2 supported on nickel foam (NF) was systematically compared with electrode series prepared…

This paper investigates the global existence and non-negativity of weak solutions to an initial-boundary value problem for a one-dimensional fourth-order nonlinear degenerate parabolic equation. This model governs the convection phenomena in thin films driven by surface tension. Our analytical approach begins with the…

A language model's output does not by itself provide verifiable evidence about the internal computation that produced it. We study computational provenance: whether generated text can carry detectable evidence of which causally relevant internal state occurred. We test a bounded form of this idea in two controlled arc…

Based on the van Kampen-Schram method, a formula for the Casimir force between two plane-layered structures is obtained, which includes the sum of the Matsubara frequencies and a contour integral. It is shown that the contour integral is not taken into account in the Lifshitz formula. Taking it into account gives a sm…

We present results from low-frequency noise and current–voltage measurements on an ink-printed 1T-TaS2 layer on a ceramic substrate, situated between interdigitated platinum electrodes. The measurements were conducted at elevated temperatures and under UV exposure. A charge-density-wave (CDW) phase transition was dete…

The mobility ring (MR), a critical boundary in the complex energy plane separating extended and localized states, is fundamental to understanding the Anderson transition in non-Hermitian (NH) disordered systems. While MRs have been extensively studied in one-dimensional (1D) NH quasiperiodic models, rigorous analytica…

A liquid hydrogen storage has been widely applied due to its high volumetric hydrogen density and purity, yet achieving overall efficient hydrogen storage remains a key challenge for the widespread adoption of hydrogen energy. The significant temperature difference between liquid hydrogen and the ambient environment r…

We consider the zero-homogeneous reduction of the two-dimensional Euler equation in the 3-fold symmetric case $m=3$, which is left unsolved in the $m\geq4$ relaxation theory of Said, Elgindi, and Murray \cite{EMS}. We prove that every nonconstant $W^{1,p}$ solution satisfies $\|g_θ(t)\|_{L^p}\to\infty$ as $t\to\pm\inf…

A self-contained statistical-mechanics treatment of a single quantum harmonic oscillator is presented, whose frequency $ω$ is drawn from a folded Gaussian distribution: $ω=|ξ|$ with $ξ\sim\mathcal{N}(μ,σ^2)$. The exact integral representations for the partition function, internal energy, free energy, heat capacity, an…

Abstract Apart from the well-known stratiform and podiform chromite deposits, those in the Archean greenstone belts are also of great importance to both researchers and the mining industry due to their unique occurrences and critical economic value. Chromitites from the Andriamena greenstone belt are associated with p…

Abstract Transition-metal sulfide (TMS) catalysis is a promising strategy for accelerating sulfur redox kinetics, yet its catalytic mechanisms in all-solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (ASSLSBs) remain poorly understood. Here, two distinct catalytic failure modes are identified in conversion-type and intercalation-t…

The magnetic structure of a magnetic topological semimetal EuMnSb$_2$ is investigated in fields up to 30 T using polarized and unpolarized neutron diffraction, pulsed-field x-ray magnetic circular dichroism and pulsed-field magnetometry. We determine the zero-field magnetic structures of the Eu and Mn sublattices, and…
