Manipulation and control of droplets on surfaces in a homogeneous electric field

Control of droplet coalescence is a major challenge of droplet microfluidics. Here, the authors show that homogenous external electric field can induce dipoles inside droplets, which can be used to withdraw samples from an array of droplets.

A multi-scale microstructure to address the strength-ductility trade off in high strength steel for fusion reactors

Reduced-activation ferritic-martensitic (RAFM) steels are promising fusion reactor materials having high radiation tolerance and low post-use radioactivity, but achieving high strength, ductility and toughness is difficult. The authors demonstrate a modified thermomechanical process to produce RAFM steel with a multiscale microstructure which endows both high strength and high ductility.

The existence and properties of tetraquark states with two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks have been widely debated. Here, the authors use a unitarized model to study the properties of an exotic narrow state compatible with a doubly charmed tetraquark.

Process innovations to enable viable enzymatic poly(ethylene terephthalate) recycling

Enzymatic recycling is an emerging technology to circularize the ubiquitous polyester poly(ethylene terephthalate). Here the authors evaluate and implement multiple process changes to improve the scalability and viability of this recycling technology. Process modeling demonstrates that these changes could enable cost competitiveness and greatly reduce overall life cycle impacts.

There is some disagreement between climate models about how much precipitation changes under global warming. Here, the authors use the ocean surface energy balance to constrain the sensitivity of precipitation to historical warming and find that it is increasing by 0.68 ± 0.51% per degree warming.

Vertical mantle flow associated with a lithospheric drip beneath the Great Basin

Seismic anisotropy data for the Great Basin region of the western United States, coupled with tomographic images, help delineate a northeast-dipping lithospheric drip. Numerical experiments suggest that the drip could have formed owing to gravitational instability triggered by a density increase of about 1% and a temperature increase of about 10%.

4f-orbital covalency enables a single-crystal-to-single-crystal ring-opening isomerization in a Ce^IV–cyclopropenyl complex

Computational and spectroscopic studies of molecular lanthanide complexes have implicated 4f orbitals in metal–ligand bonding interactions. Now, a comparative study of isostructural d-block, actinide and lanthanide complexes has shown that 4f-orbital covalency enables ring-opening isomerization in a Ce(IV)–cyclopropenyl complex in the solid state, a reaction not observed for the other complexes studied.
