Programmable thermal radiation refers to the ability to independently control the absorption and emission of heat, allowing thermal energy to be directed, switched on and off, and stored like data in a microchip. This circumvents the traditional thermodynamic rule of reciprocity, which dictates that a material must absorb and emit heat symmetrically.

Solid-state batteries utilize solid electrolytes to achieve high energy densities, but they often fail prematurely due to the formation of lithium metal spikes, known as dendrites. Recent research reveals that hidden electrical imbalances at the microscopic boundaries between electrolyte grains drive the formation of these destructive structures.

I have a few questions for #materialsscience and #materialschemistry people. About #solarpower and #solar cells.

I heard a rumor that the perovskite market is still going? I thought we abandoned that kind of unstable crystal physics? Did you somehow solve the water soluble lead problem?

I saw this thing:
https://www.scientific.net/JNanoR.88.45

And:
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsanm.4c05811

Why are you not, quantum cutting with a lanthanide gel inside this? Like, wrapping in a hydrophobic polymer first or something, I mean.

Hydrochromism is a reversible form of dynamic camouflage where the optical properties of an organism change in response to environmental moisture. In certain arboreal snails, this allows their patterned shells to darken uniformly in the rain, blending seamlessly with wet tree bark.

Notes on #UAP Discussions : Lots of interesting things going on. It's important to recognize that there is a lot of current work in the #Physics, #Engineering, #MaterialsScience literature etc , done by humans and unrelated to anything remotely classified...that is still convergent for outstanding problems, both theoretical and otherwise, related to UAP.
You don't have to be an insider or secret agent man. You just have to be paying attention (and be at least science literate)

📖 New Atlas–Rosetta publication:

Paper 0B — The Curiosity Layer
The Question That Wouldn't Go Away

Before Atlas. Before Rosetta. Before frameworks, papers, or formal models.

Just a recurring question that followed me for more than 30 years:

Why do some mathematical structures seem familiar across very different disciplines?

This essay explores the curiosity that ultimately led to Atlas–Rosetta and how modern AI transformed a long-standing question into something that could finally be investigated.
