The contactless evaporation stands out for its superior anti-contamination property. However, the evaporation performance is significantly limited by the non-contact heat transport, which is more pronounced in scalable applications with suppressed vapor escaping and tilted solar irradiation. Here, we propose a high-performance contactless solar evaporation design with three-dimensional (3D) solar-heating and vapor-escaping structure. Our theoretical analysis reveals that mass transport is the true bottleneck of contactless solar evaporation in scalable application, and can be significantly improved by our 3D design. A laboratory solar evaporation rate of 1.03 kg m<sup>-2</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> was demonstrated with our 3D design, which was 110% higher than the conventional design. Owing to the enhanced solar harvesting and transport, an average evaporation rate of 1.21 kg m<sup>-2</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> was demonstrated in outdoor field test with dilute solar flux of 589.98 W m<sup>-2</sup>. The scalability of 3D design was proved by the minimal difference (3%) in natural seawater evaporation performance between the small and large 3D devices. This work provides a robust, high-performance, and scalable solution for solar evaporation, especially for those scenarios with limited tolerance for contamination.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Via our newly developed hybrid-particle-in-cell code, incorporating the newly-proposed model of large-angle collisions, we infer that that this could be attributed to the increased significance of large-angle collisions among DT ions and α-particles in the burning plasma. Extensive and unprecedented kinetic investigations into the implications of large-angle collisions in the burning plasma have yielded several key findings, including an ignition moment promotion by ∼10ps, the presence of supra-thermal ions below an energy threshold, and approximately twice the expected deposition of α-particles densities. The rationality of our findings is confirmed through the congruency between the neutron spectral moment analyses conducted by the NIF and our kinetic simulations, both highlighting progressively widening disparities between neutron spectral moment analyses and hydrodynamics predictions, which becomes more pronounced as the yield increases. Our kinetic simulations with large-angle collisions not only provide novel insights for experiment interpretation but also open new research opportunities for the largely unexplored regime of the nuclear burning plasmas, which are distinguished by their exceptionally high energy densities and hold immense potential for illuminating the intricate physics that underpins the evolution of the early universe.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142852036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, quantum teleportation has been implemented in various physical systems, among which superconducting qubits are of particular practical significance as they emerge as a leading system to realize large-scale quantum computation. Nevertheless, scaling up the number of superconducting qubits on a single chip becomes increasing challenging because of some emergent technical difficulties. Realization of quantum teleportation and remote computation over qubits on distant superconducting chips is a key quantum communication technology to scaling up the system through a distributed quantum computational network. However, this goal has not been realized yet in experiments due to the technical challenges including making a quantum interconnect between distant superconducting chips and the inefficient transfer of flying microwave photons over the lossy interconnects. Here we demonstrate deterministic teleportation of quantum states and entangling gates between distant superconducting chips connected by a 64-m-long cable bus featuring an ultralow loss of 0.32 dB/km at cryogenic temperatures, where high fidelity remote entanglement is generated via flying microwave photons.

This approach allows for integrating an asymmetric 9,9'-spirobifluorene core between two MR frameworks to achieve optically active CP-MR emitters. The highly rigid spirobifluorene framework minimizes structural relaxation, and meanwhile, the introduction of a cyano (CN) group enhances the MR emission characteristics, leading to an ultra-narrowband blue emission with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 14 nm.

In this study, we aim to constrain the Martian core-mantle differentiation by examining FeO partitioning between core and mantle materials, incorporating improved Martian compositional data from the InSight mission. Using ab initio thermodynamic techniques, we calculated the FeO partition coefficient between liquid iron and silicate melt. Our results align with previous studies while also clarifying the factors affecting partitioning behavior. Based on these findings and estimates of oxygen concentration in the core, we infer that Mars's core and mantle likely differentiated at temperatures above 2440 K and pressures ranging from 14 to 22 GPa. Although these estimates are higher than previously reported, they are consistent with observed abundances of moderately siderophile elements and Mars's accretion models.</p>","PeriodicalId":421,"journal":{"name":"Science Bulletin","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142823704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
