Self-ejection of salts and other foulants from superhydrophobic surfaces to enable sustainable anti-fouling by McBride, Samantha A., Lake, John R., Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Counterintuitively, we find that the addition of “contaminant” chemistries can enable ejection under conditions where ejection was not observed for waters containing only sodium chloride salt (e.g., from smooth hydrophobic surfaces), and that increased concentrations of both surfactants and colloids lead to longer ejection lengths. …”

Electrostatic dust removal using adsorbed moisture–assisted charge induction for sustainable operation of solar panels by Panat, Sreedath, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…Here, we present a waterless approach for dust removal from solar panels using electrostatic induction. We find that dust particles, despite primarily consisting of insulating silica, can be electrostatically repelled from electrodes due to charge induction assisted by adsorbed moisture. …”

The new physics case for beam-dump experiments with accelerated muon beams by Cesarotti, Cari, Gambhir, Rikab

“…We demonstrate the utility of muon beam-dump experiments for new physics searches at energies from 10 GeV to 5 TeV. We find that, even at low energies like those accessible at staging or demonstrator facilities, it is possible to probe new regions of parameter space for a variety of generic BSM models, including muonphilic, leptophilic, Lμ − Lτ, and dark photon scenarios. …”

Subregion independence in gravity by Folkestad, Åsmund

“…In this paper, we give a natural definition of subsystem independence and gravitational dressing of perturbations in classical gravity. We find that extremal surfaces, non-perturbative lumps of matter, and generic trapped surfaces are structures that enable dressing and subregion independence. …”

Dynamic event-triggered integrated task and motion planning for process-aware source seeking by Li, Yingke, Hou, Mengxue, Zhou, Enlu, Zhang, Fumin

“…The process-aware source seeking (PASS) problem in flow fields aims to find an informative trajectory to reach an unknown source location while taking the energy consumption in the flow fields into consideration. …”

Optimum Model-Based Design of Diagnostics Experiments (DOE) with Hybrid Pulse Power Characterization (HPPC) for Lithium-Ion Batteries by Rhyu, Jinwook, Zhuang, Debbie, Bazant, Martin Z, Braatz, Richard D

“…Contrary to traditional HPPC diagnostics which use fixed pulse magnitudes at uniformly distributed state of charges (SOC), we find that well-designed HPPC protocols using our framework outperform traditional protocols in terms of minimizing both parametric uncertainties and diagnostic time. …”

Sororin actively maintains sister chromatid cohesion by Ladurner, Rene, Kreidl, Emanuel, Ivanov, Miroslav P., Ekker, Heinz, Idarraga‐Amado, Maria H., Busslinger, Georg A., Wutz, Gordana, Cisneros, David A., Peters, Jan‐Michael

“…We further show that the acetyltransferases ESCO1 and ESCO2 are essential for stabilizing cohesin on chromatin, that their only function in this process is to acetylate cohesin's SMC3 subunit, and that DNA replication is also required for stable cohesin–chromatin interactions. Unexpectedly, we find that sororin interacts dynamically with the cohesin complexes it stabilizes. …”

Impinging jet mixers: A review of their mixing characteristics, performance considerations, and applications by Devos, Cedric, Mukherjee, Saikat, Inguva, Pavan, Singh, Shalini, Wei, Yi, Mondal, Sandip, Yu, Huiwen, Barbastathis, George, Stelzer, Torsten, Braatz, Richard D, Myerson, Allan S

“…Comprising of two co‐linear jets flowing in opposite directions and colliding with each other within a small (usually confined) volume, these devices effectively intensify various mixing‐controlled processes in a reproducible manner. Impinging jet mixers find extensive use in both the chemical and pharmaceutical industry for a plethora of applications, such as reaction injection molding and precipitation processes. …”
