Mechanics of Three-Dimensional Micro-Architected Interpenetrating Phase Composites by Chen, Andrew Y.

“…We show that independent of the material system, the presence of a load-bearing matrix distributes the stress in the composite, contributing to a high-strength, globally stretchingdominated failure behavior, regardless of nodal connectivity. …”

Another philosophical look at twistor theory by Gajic, G, Lilani, N, Read, J

“…In this article, we (a) present for philosophers an introduction to twistor theory, (b) consider how the spacetime–twistor correspondence interacts with the philosophical literature on theoretical equivalence, and (c) explore the bearing which twistor theory might have on philosophical issues such as the status of dynamics, the geometrisation of physics, spacetime ontology, the emergence of spacetime, and symmetry-to-reality inferences. …”

Fragmentation of white phosphorus by a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)alumanyl anion by Koshino, Kota, Kinjo, Rei

“…Structural and electronic features of the latter were fully characterized by standard spectroscopic means, X-ray diffraction analysis, and computational studies, which revealed that 2 bears highly polarized Al (δ+) and P (δ-) and relatively short Al-P bonds, indicative of the σ-donating and π-accepting nature of CAAAl groups.…”

Bandwidth analysis of waveguide grating coupler by Xiao, Zhe, Liow, Tsung-Yang, Zhang, Jing, Shum, Perry Ping, Luan, Feng

“…We observe that the bandwidth behavior is not only determined by the grating coupler intrinsic properties, but also affected by the fiber parameters such as position, beam waist and Numerical Aperture. The rigorous bandwidth formula is derived. …”

Purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional electronic spectroscopy by Zhang, Zhengyang, Wells, Kym Lewis, Tan, Howe-Siang

“…We demonstrate a method to measure a purely absorptive fifth-order three-dimensional (3D) electronic spectrum based on a pulse-shaper assisted pump-probe beam geometry setup. The 3D spectra are measured as a function of two independently controlled population times. …”

Probing transverse momentum dependent structures with azimuthal dependence of energy correlators by Kang, Zhong-Bo, Lee, Kyle, Shao, Ding Yu, Zhao, Fanyi

“…We study the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators $$\langle \mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{1}\right)\mathcal{E}\left({\widehat{n}}_{2}\right)\rangle $$ in the back-to-back region for e+e− annihilation and deep inelastic scattering (DIS) processes with general polarization of the proton beam. We demonstrate that the polarization information of the beam and the underlying partons from the hard scattering is propagated into the azimuthal angle dependence of the energy-energy correlators. …”
