Self-organized contact line instabilities (CLI) of a macroscopic liquid crystal (LC) droplet can be an ingenious pathway to generate a large collection of miniaturized LC drops. For example, when a larger drop of volatile solvent (e.g.

The formation of a high-density nanotwinned structure in copper deposits is presently acknowledged as a paramount goal for enhancing the material characteristics of copper. However, the conventional manufacturing processes often involve the incorporation of organic additives, resulting in consequential impurity effects and aging concerns. In this work, we introduce a high-rate approach to fabricate (220)-orientation nanotwinned copper foils in a concentrated methanesulfonate copper solution with mere amount of chloride ions as additives.

Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals are polar fluids characterized by microscopic orientational ordering and macroscopic spontaneous polarizations. Within these fluids, domain walls that separate regions of different polarizations are ubiquitous. We demonstrate that the π walls in films of the polar fluids consist of twin half-integer surface disclinations spaced horizontally, enclosing a subdomain where the polarization exhibits left- or right-handed π twists across the film.

Many spectacular nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) properties depend on the spacing of adjacent twin boundaries (TBs) inside crystal grains. The average TB spacing is typically 10-100 nm in electrodeposited nt-Cu films. This study employed template-assisted electrodeposition to grow nt-Cu nanowires with high-density TBs (average TB spacing <5 nm).

Complex aerodynamic characteristics and optimal control during the attitude transition of tilt-powered coaxial twin-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent key challenges in flight control design. This study investigates aerodynamic mechanisms and control parameter optimization during the transition of UAVs from vertical to forward flight. By establishing a dynamic model and combining theoretical and numerical analyses, the optimal rotor spacing is determined to be h = 0.
