Numerical investigation of a first-stage stator turbine blade subjected to NH3–H2/air combustion flue gases by Alrebei, OF, Le Page, LM, Hewlett, S, Bicer, Y, Amhamed, A

“…Furthermore, increasing the NH3–H2/air equivalence ratio improved the blade's ability to increase the average overall outlet Mach number compared to the inlet flow. Flow separation near the trailing edge remained relatively unaffected with increasing equivalence ratio. …”

Nonthermal solid-solid phase transition in ferromagnetic iron by Azadi, S, Wark, J, Vinko, SM

“…The transition corresponds to a solid-solid BCC to FCC phase transformation and takes place at an electron temperature of 0.62 eV while the ion lattice remains near room temperature. The BCC structure initially undergoes phonon softening during the magnetic transformation, followed by a solid-solid phase transition to the FCC structure, and a subsequent hardening of phonon modes. …”

Robust and fast microwave-driven quantum logic for trapped-ion qubits by Weber, MA, Gely, MF, Hanley, RK, Harty, TP, Leu, AD, Löschnauer, CM, Nadlinger, DP, Lucas, DM

“…We implement Mølmer-Sørensen two-qubit gates on ⁴³⁢Ca⁺ hyperfine clock qubits in a cryogenic ( ≈25 K) surface trap, driven by near-field microwaves. We achieve gate durations of 154 µs [with 1.0(2)% error] and 331 µs [0.5(1)% error], which approaches the performance of typical laser-driven gates. …”
