The interaction between the electric dipole moments of a quantum emitter and a metal nanoparticle gives
rise to unique optical properties, such as interference-induced photon correlations, that could be useful for
enhanced ...
Using short histories of observations from a dynamical system, a workflow for the post-training initialization
of reservoir computing systems is described. This strategy is called cold-starting, and it is based on a ...
Ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been performed to investigate the role of trivalent atoms substituting silicon atom in the 2D zeolite model. The effects of the B and Ga atoms on the ...
Owing to the increasing cost and limited resources of lithium metal, there is a growing interest in developing energy storage systems that are more affordable, environmentally friendly, and have high energy densities. This ...

Methylammonium tin triiodide (MASnI3) films were grown through Sequential Physical Vapour Deposition (SPVD) without breaking the vacuum and optimized by varying MAI thickness and annealing time while keeping SnI2 thickness ...
Nuclear waste storage materials are inevitable in nuclear industry for preventing the release of radioactive waste
products. Glassy carbon has been considered being beneficial to be used in the dry cask needed for nuclear ...

With the advent of novel polymers, organic solar cell (OSC) research has evolved significantly over the
past decade. The molecular engineering of terpolymers has allowed for simple morphological control in
binary devices ...

A one-step solvothermal approach was used to integrate nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide into
vanadium dioxide (VO2) to prepare a V@XN-G (where X = 24, 48 and 96 and is the mass of urea as the
nitrogen (N) source) ...

The past decade has seen significant advances in wide-field cm-wave very long baseline interferometry (VLBI), which is timely given the wide-area, synoptic survey-driven strategy of major facilities across the electromagnetic ...
The MIGHTEE survey utilizes the South African MeerKAT radio telescope to observe four extragalactic deep fields, with the aim of advancing our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. ...
Cold gas evolution ties the formation of dark matter haloes to the star formation history of the universe. A primary component of cold gas, neutral atomic hydrogen (HI), can be traced by its 21-cm emission line. However, ...
The Square Kilometre Array mid-frequency array will enable high-redshift detections of neutral hydrogen ( H I ) emission in galaxies, providing important constraints on the evolution of cold gas in galaxies over cosmic ...
Activated carbon (AC) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) electrodes were successfully synthesized from Eucalyptus grandis tree bark and a mixture of boric acid and urea in the ratio of 2:3, respectively. The optimal composite ...
