TL;DR: An electrolyte additive that can reduce the polarization voltage is developed and 98.7% coulombic efficiency is realized, and the as‐prepared Mg‐ion electrolyte exhibits excellent Mg plating/stripping performance.
Abstract: Rechargeable magnesium/sulfur (Mg/S) batteries are widely regarded as one of the alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. However, a key factor restricting their application is the lack of suitable electrolyte. Herein, an electrolyte additive that can reduce the polarization voltage is developed and 98.7% coulombic efficiency is realized. The as-prepared Mg-ion electrolyte exhibits excellent Mg plating/stripping performance with a low overpotential of 0.11 V for plating process, and high anodic stability up to 3.0 V (vs Mg/Mg2+). When it is coupled with magnesium polysulfide, which has high reactivity and is homogeneously distributed on carbon matrix, the Mg/S cells deliver a good cycling stability with a high discharge capacity over 1000 mAh g-1 for more than 50 cycles.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semitransparent small molecular weight organic photovoltaic cells using a laminated silver nanowire mesh as a transparent, conductive cathode layer was demonstrated.
Abstract: We demonstrate semitransparent small molecular weight organic photovoltaic cells using a laminated silver nanowire mesh as a transparent, conductive cathode layer. The lamination process does not damage the underlying solar cell and results in a transparent electrode with low sheet resistance and high optical transmittance without impacting photocurrent collection. The resulting semitransparent phthalocyanine/fullerene organic solar cell has a power conversion efficiency that is 57% of that of a device with a conventional metal cathode due to differences in optical absorption.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sea-sponge structured C/SnS@C nanocomposite has been fabricated through the hierarchical assembly of SnS2 nanoflakes on macrochannel-interconnected carbon spheres.
Abstract: The exploration of electrode materials with superior rate capability and cyclability has been a critical challenge for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Herein, a new sea-sponge structured C/SnS@C nanocomposite has been fabricated through the hierarchical assembly of SnS2 nanoflakes on sea-sponge-like macrochannel-interconnected carbon spheres (S-MCSs) and subsequent carbon coating together with the phase transformation of SnS. A notably enhanced performance is achieved which is attributed to the formation of the sea-sponge-like rigid structure and layered SnS nanoflakes, which facilitate Na+ diffusion at a large current density based on the conductive S-MCS skeleton and carbon coating, thus significantly improving the kinetic process of Na+ insertion/extraction. When applied as an anode material for SIBs, the designed C/SnS@C composite exhibits superior cycling stability. It can endure a current density of 10 A g−1 to complete the charge process in 22 s and deliver a capacity of 370 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 after five initial activation processes, with over 84% capacity retention from the 200th to the 2000th cycle, which is equivalent to 0.009% decay per cycle.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: Comparing the results to the fastest reported vectorized Cray Y-MP and C90 algorithm shows that the current generation of parallel machines is competitive with conventional vector supercomputers even for small problems.
Abstract: Three parallel algorithms for classical molecular dynamics are presented. The first assigns each processor a fixed subset of atoms; the second assigns each a fixed subset of inter-atomic forces to compute; the third assigns each a fixed spatial region. The algorithms are suitable for molecular dynamics models which can be difficult to parallelize efficiently—those with short-range forces where the neighbors of each atom change rapidly. They can be implemented on any distributed-memory parallel machine which allows for message-passing of data between independently executing processors. The algorithms are tested on a standard Lennard-Jones benchmark problem for system sizes ranging from 500 to 100,000,000 atoms on several parallel supercomputers--the nCUBE 2, Intel iPSC/860 and Paragon, and Cray T3D. Comparing the results to the fastest reported vectorized Cray Y-MP and C90 algorithm shows that the current generation of parallel machines is competitive with conventional vector supercomputers even for small problems. For large problems, the spatial algorithm achieves parallel efficiencies of 90% and a 1840-node Intel Paragon performs up to 165 faster than a single Cray C9O processor. Trade-offs between the three algorithms and guidelines for adapting them to more complex molecular dynamics simulations are also discussed.
