An analytical model for rotors in confined flow across operating regimes
Rotors operating in confined flows, or blockage, are commonly encountered in wind and water tunnels, as well as in shallow or dense deployments of hydrokinetic turbines. Confinement induces a streamwise pressure gradient in the channel, modifying the rotor induction, thrust and p...

Electric Double Layer Organization of Proton-Transfer Pathways Regulates Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution
Abstract Constructing bifunctional catalysts with synergistic interfaces is a promising strategy to overcome the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media, where interfacial proton transfer plays a critical role in the reaction kinetics. However...

Hot-springs through time, and how to find them
Hot-springs have fascinated geologists including James Hutton for centuries. Here we synthesise data collected over timescales from centuries to days to reveal rules governing hot-springs, including where and when they occur. Data reveal waters dominantly sourced from the surface...

Theranostics in the management of prostate cancer: from concept to clinical practice
INTRODUCTION: Radiotheranostics, integrating diagnostic imaging with targeted radiotherapy using molecularly matched radioactive agents, has emerged as a transformative approach in the management of prostate cancer. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is the dominant clinic...
