Interstellar material around the Sun is typical for our neighborhood of the Galaxy. The physical properties and kinematics of the partially ionized interstellar material (ISM) near the Sun are typical of warm diffuse clouds in the solar vicinity. The direction of the interstellar magnetic field at the heliosphere, the polarization of light from nearby stars, and the kinematics of nearby clouds ...

Retraction of 'Light-controlled resistive switching memory of multiferroic BiMnO3 nanowire arrays' by Bai Sun and Chang Ming Li, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, 17, 6718-6721.

Recent studies of the larvae of coral-reef fishes reveal that these tiny vertebrates possess remarkable swimming capabilities, as well as the ability to orient to olfactory, auditory, and visual cues. While navigation according to reef-generated chemicals and sounds can significantly affect dispersal, the effect is limited to the vicinity of the reef. Effective long-distance navigation requires...

In today’s high-tech environment, energy has become the impetus for socio-economic development. As a free, nonpolluting, inexhaustible, renewable energy, solar energy is ideal for generating electricity. Currently, generating electricity by solar energy is inefficient and costly. This paper is a result of prototype our main project which mainly focuses on how to improve its efficiency to develo...
