Backreacted Coulomb energy in the Skyrme model by Sven Bjarke Gudnason, James Martin Speight

“…We find, in agreement with physical expectations, that the Coulomb backreaction is most pronounced for large Skyrmions and find furthermore that the dynamics of the theory is more sensitive to the backreaction than the ground states (global minimizers of the energy). Calibrating the model to Carbon-12, we find excellent agreement of the masses of the studied Skyrmions — within 1.86% of experimental data. …”

Energy and climate policy implications on the deployment of low-carbon ammonia technologies by Chi Kong Chyong, Eduardo Italiani, Nikolaos Kazantzis

“…Here, we show that employing a stochastic techno-economic analysis at the plant level and a net present value approach under the US Inflation Reduction Act reveals that carbon capture and biomass pathways demonstrate strong economic potential due to cost-effectiveness and minimal public support needs. Conversely, the electrolytic pathway faces significant economic challenges due to higher costs and lower efficiency. …”
