A new configuration based on the recent off-line calibrations of the gated laser entrance hole diagnostic on the National Ignition Facility provides 4-8 interleaved frames per experiment using the standard two frame sensor settings. Since its implementation, the new design has greatly increased the data return for hundreds of experiments at the National Ignition Facility. The large quantity of images from a variety of physics campaigns has revealed information on plasma evolution in hohlraums.

The storage and release of energy is an economic cornerstone. In quantum dots (QDs), energy storage is mostly governed by their surfaces, in particular by surface chemistry and faceting. The impact of surface free energy (SFE) through surface faceting has already been studied in QDs.

The Particle Time of Flight (PTOF) diagnostic is a chemical vapor deposition diamond-based detector and is the only diagnostic for measuring nuclear bang times of low yield (<1013) shots on the National Ignition Facility. Recently, a comprehensive study of detector impulse responses revealed certain detectors with very fast and consistent impulse responses with a rise time of <50 ps, enabling low yield burn history measurements. At the current standoff of 50 cm, this measurement is possible with fast 14 MeV neutrons from deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion plasmas.

Natural and anthropogenic factors controlling organic carbon storage in riverine wetlands along South Korea's four rivers.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Division of Earth and Environmental System Sciences, Department of Oceanography, Pukyong National University, 45 Yongso-ro, Nam-gu, 48513, Busan, Republic of Korea.

This study explores carbon sequestration in South Korea's riverine wetlands, focusing on the four major rivers: Han, Yeongsan, Geum, and Nakdong. Field data from the Yeongsan River wetland, including 3D topography surveys, grainsize analyses, and loss-on-ignition measurements, were used to assess carbon stocks and their environmental drivers. The Yeongsan River was selected as a representative site due to its geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic similarities with the other three major rivers, which influence sediment transport and carbon dynamics.

Chemotherapy is widely used to treat lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients comprehensively. Considering the limitations of chemotherapy due to drug resistance and other issues, it is crucial to explore the impact of chemotherapy and immunotherapy on these aspects. In this study, tumor samples from nine LUAD patients, of which four only received surgery and five received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, were subjected to scRNA-seq analysis.

Miraculous Al/PDF Composites Using NF to Enhance the Energy Release of Al, Prepared Through an Efficient Method.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

School of Safety Science and Engineering (School of Emergency Management), Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210094, China.

To enhance the energy release of Al powder in solid propellant, ploy (difluoroaminomethyl-3-methylethoxybutane) (PDF), which has difluoroamino (NF), was utilized to improve energy and promote combustion efficiency. In this study, Al with three distinct powder sizes (29 μm, 13 μm, and 1~3 μm) was coated with PDF using the solvent/non-solvent method, leading to the formation of Al/PDF composites. The morphology and characteristics of Al/PDF were then characterized.
