TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of several nano-Al-based thermites subjected to very rapid heating rates was performed, and the results suggest that reactive sintering occurs on a fast timescale, and relatively early in the reaction, leading to rapid melting and coalescence of aggregated particles.

TL;DR: An unusual hierarchical ultrastructure in the butterfly Thecla opisena is reported that, as a solid material, allows high-resolution three-dimensional microscopy and provides insight into the formation mechanisms of the nanoporous gyroid material as well as of the intracellular organelle membrane that acts as the template.

TL;DR: Chemical imaging experiments using environmental scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission X-ray microscopy to investigate the LLPS of micrometer-sized particles undergoing a full hydration-dehydration cycle showed that both LSOC/AS and HMMA/AS particles were never homogeneously mixed for all measured RH's above the deliquescence point and that the majority of the organic component was located in the outer phase.

TL;DR: Investigation of the reactions of liquid-like and semisolid SOC from ozonolysis of limonene (LSOC) and α-pinene (PSOC) with NaCl using a set of complementary microspectroscopic analyses shows that the reaction extent depends on SOC composition, particle phase state and viscosity, mixing state, temperature, relative humidity, and reaction time.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that water drop impaction of soils generates solid organic particles, with impacts on clouds and radiation absorption, and that these particles affect Earth's climate.
