LLMs as Representation Generators for Gradient‐Free Scientific Optimization: A Case Study in Battery Fast Charging

ABSTRACT Scientific optimization problems are often characterized by slow, expensive, and non‐differentiable evaluations, which severely limit efficient exploration of rich design spaces. In these settings, performance depends not only on the optimizer itself, but also on whether...

Dosimetry foil characterisation of a new lithium-target fast neutron source

Accelerator-based lithium-target neutron sources produce fast neutron spectra ideal for nuclear data studies, but simulations of these neutron spectra are not always reliable. Methods for characterising neutron spectra with dosimetry foils have been developed for a new compact fa...

Spatially Decoupled Electron and Lithium Storage at Fe/Solid Electrolyte Interphase Interfaces

ABSTRACT Extra lithium storage in transition‐metal nanoparticles remains debated because interfacial reactions are difficult to distinguish. Using Fe/C as a model anode, we combine in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and magnetometry to resolve two concurrent storage pr...
