Searching for string bosenovas with gravitational wave detectors by Dawid Brzeminski, Anson Hook, Junwu Huang, Clayton Ristow

“…During the superradiance growth of a dark photon cloud — which occurs for dark photon masses m A ′ ~ 10 − 14 − 10 − 11 eV $$ {m}_{A^{\prime }}\sim {10}^{-14}-{10}^{-11}\textrm{eV} $$ around stellar-mass black holes ( m A ′ ~ 10 − 23 − 10 − 16 eV $$ {m}_{A^{\prime }}\sim {10}^{-23}-{10}^{-16}\textrm{eV} $$ for supermassive black holes) — the dark electromagnetic field might reach a critical field strength, when a network of dark photon strings is produced via a superheated phase transition. These dark photon strings will then absorb the energy in the background gauge fields and get ejected from the cloud, with total energy of the string network as large as the total rotational energy of the spinning black hole. …”

Design of a novel Cu-Cr-X alloy with high strength and high electrical conductivity based on mechanical learning by Yunqing Zhu, Yicheng Cao, Lijun Peng, Qian Yu, Zhen Yang, Zengde Li, Junsheng Wu, Haofeng Xie

“…The atom probe tomography results show that Zr, Mg, and Ti simultaneously segregated in the Cr-rich phase after aging at 440 °C for 480 h, which significantly improves the stability of the precipitated Cr phase and inhibited the Cr-rich phase transition from fcc to bcc structure. With the increase of aging temperature, the bcc structure Cr phase gradually replaces the fine fcc-Cr phase and exhibited a higher coarsening rate. …”

Study for the Effect on Structure and Properties of Highland Barley Proteins During Stir-frying by HUANG Liang-liang, JIANG Kang-hui, LI Qi, YANG Jie, HU Yun, LI Liang

“…The trends of G' and G" values of the protein solution were consistent before and after frying; besides, with the increase in angular frequency, the tan δ value was gradually greater than 1, and the internal microstructure of the protein solution changes at high angular frequency, which may resulted in phase transition and exhibit good viscosity. In summary, frying can change the protein structure of highland barley, and partially alter the properties.…”
