A microfluidic study of transient flow states in permeable media using fluorescent particle image velocimetry

Velocity fields in flow in permeable media are of great importance to many subsurface processes such as geologic storage of CO 2 , oil and gas extraction, and geothermal systems. Steady-state flow is characterized by velocity fields that do not change significantly over time. The flow field transitions to a new steady state once it experiences a disturbance such as a change in flow rate or in pressure gradient. This transition is often assumed to be instantaneous, which justifies the expression of constitutive relations as functions of instantaneous phase saturations. This work examines the evolution of velocity fields in a surrogate quasi-2D permeable medium using a microfluidic device, a microscopy system, and a high-speed camera. Tracer particles are injected into the medium along with DI water. The evolution of the velocity field is examined by tracing these particles in the captured images using the standard high-density particle image velocimetry algorithm founded on cross-correlation. The results suggest that the transition between steady states for an incompressible fluid takes a finite and non-negligible amount of time that is independent of the magnitude of the change in pressure gradient. The existence of transient states and the nature of the response during these states are readily interpreted by the principle of least action where flow gradually establishes an optimal configuration such that energy dissipation is 2 minimized. The findings provide evidence against the applicability of the assumption that flowing phases relax instantaneously to their steady states and, hence, against the accuracy of the classical multiphase extension of Darcy's law.

Dependence of polytetrafluoroethylene reflectance on thickness at visible and ultraviolet wavelengths in air

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an excellent diffuse reflector widely used in light collection systems for particle physics experiments. However, the reflectance of PTFE is a function of its thickness. In this work, we investigate this dependence in air for light of wavelengths 260 nm and 450 nm using two complementary methods. We find that PTFE reflectance for thicknesses from 5 mm to 10 mm ranges from 92.5% to 94.5% at 450 nm, and from 90.0% to 92.0% at 260 nm. We also see that the reflectance of PTFE of a given thickness can vary by as much as 2.7% within the same piece of material. Finally, we show that placing a specular reflector behind the PTFE can recover the loss of reflectance in the visible without introducing a specular component in the reflectance.

A Nonlocal-Gradient Descent Method for Inverse Design in Nanophotonics

Local-gradient-based optimization approaches lack nonlocal exploration abilityrequired for escaping from local minima when searching non-convex landscapes.A directional Gaussian smoothing (DGS) approach was recently proposed in [29]and used to define a truly nonlocal gradient, referred to as the DGS gradient, inorder to enable nonlocal exploration in high-dimensional black-box optimization.Promising results show that replacing the traditional local gradient with the nonlocalDGS gradient can significantly improve the performance of gradient-based methodsin optimizing highly multi-modal loss functions. However, the current DGS methodis designed for unbounded and uncontrained optimization problems, making itinapplicable to real-world engineering optimization problems where the tuningparameters are often bounded and the loss function is usually constrained byphysical processes. In this work, we propose to extend to the DGS approachto the constrained inverse design framework in order to find better optima ofmulti-modal loss functions. A series of adaptive strategies for smoothing radiusand learning rate updating are developed to improve the computational efficiencyand robustness. Our methodology is demonstrated by an example of designing ananoscale wavelength demultiplexer, and shows superior performance compared tothe state-of-the-art approaches. By incorporating volume constraints, the optimizeddesign achieves an equivalently high performance but significantly reduces theamount of material usage.

Why the US Needs an Enduring Plutonium Critical Assembly

Jezebel (operated from 1954-1977) has been the primary experiment for fast 239 Pu nuclear data validation for the last 70 years. Validation has included not only k eff , but also spectral indicies, Rossi-α, reactivity coefficients, and neutron leakage spectra. While this has been incredibly valuable to the community, there are three major issues. The first issue is that documentation on many of these experiments were lacking, leading to large uncertainties or (even worse) incorrect assumptions. The second issue is that while there have been many advances in research, there is no way to test those new advances today. The last issue is that since the assembly only operated for 23 years (and at time when 30 other critical assemblies were operating at the same facility and nuclear weapons testing was occurring), there were limited opportunities to observe how any system parameters changed as a function of time. Note that this work is not suggesting that a "Jezebel re placement" used for a limited experiment campaign would have great value. A new enduring (100 year target) plutonium (Pu) assembly with simple geometry and low uncertainties, however, would be extremely valuable. Such a capability would have a transformative impact on many research areas including nuclear data validation, analytical methods validation, dosimetry, reactor kinetics, and materials. The need for a new plutonium assembly is not new: it has been in the DOE Nuclear Criticality Safety Program (NCSP) Mission and Vision for over 10 years and was also the top priority established at the 2022 National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) Futures meeting. This work will discuss how such a new capability would help ensure that the US retains international leadership in plutonium research. Last, a brief overview of Lilith, a project aimed to design a new enduring plutonium assembly for operation at the NCERC will be given.

Safe Operations at Roadway Junctions: Intelligent Roadway Infrastructure as Functional Interlocking

Automated vehicle (AV) technology is quickly maturing, and the corresponding infrastructure systems that evaluate traffic and communicate to vehicles requires sophisticated sensing and perception technologies, referred to as intelligent roadway infrastructure (IRI), to complement emerging AV capabilities. IRI provides signals to vehicles, indicating right-of-way for vehicles and communicating to approaching AVs that no other vehicle is failing to yield. This capability, denoted as safety-affirmative signaling, provides a green light or a green arrow as appropriate and affirms through communication links to connected vehicles when it is safe to proceed. About 36% of collisions occur at intersections, with most occurring upon left turns (22.2%) or crossing over (12.6%), and only a small percentage (1.2%) while turning right at an intersection. Of all intersection crashes about half (52.5%) of those vehicles were traveling through a signalized intersection 2. Safety-affirmative signaling would guarantee safety of AV fleet vehicles, by providing the interlocking principle, a term from automated train control that only allows progression through a railway intersection after affirming no opportunity for a crash exists. IRI through safety-affirmative signaling would bring performance and safety to complex roadway intersections where AV transit fleet service is most needed, as well as safety benefits to traditional, non-automated vehicles and vulnerable road users. The implementation of IRI has functional, programmatic, and technical challenges. Research work performed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in an integrative approach encapsulating these themes, and termed infrastructure perception and control (IPC) is motivated by improved performance (travel time), improved safety (reduced collisions), and improved energy efficiency (less fuel burned and minimized production of greenhouse gases). IPC is intended not only for roadway and intersection applications but also in extension to inform complementary buildings and grid systems to enable better co-management, as vehicles and their charging needs become increasingly integrated into the built environment. The NREL IPC project presents an open-source framework, architecture, and supporting technology to implement IRI, addressing critical issues such as fusion of data, reliability, standardization of data interfaces, and confidence of detection. The framework is informed by previous experience in U.S. Department of Defense research technology, specifically in the use of radar to detect, identify, and track aerial threats. These principles combined with multi-sensor fusion provides for a complete digital twin with known and measurable confidence and accuracy from which safety-affirmative signaling can be developed and deployed.

On the Recoverability of Reactor Dynamics from Point Kinetics Data using SINDYc

Data driven models for reactor dynamics tend to face a few notable challenges. First, the broad range of timescales present across the various feedback mechanisms. Next, high standards for safety and importance of model performance in all operational domains. Finally, the correlations between state variables observed in most transients leads to difficulties when methods attempt to attribute certain dynamic phenomena to a particular cause. The current paper seeks to support efforts towards incorporating physics knowledge into one particular data-driven method for finding reactor dynamics called ``Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics with Control (SINDYc). The incorporation of physical knowledge into SINDYc will help address the challenges listed above by giving the model an initial understanding of the system being modeled. The demonstration of an exact representation of a set of point reactor dynamics equations in SINDYc is provided. Then, this allows for further discussion with mathematical justification as to why SINDYc, and other data-driven methods, may be difficult to apply to nuclear reactor dynamics due to correlations in the state variables. A particularly useful result of this work is the set of candidate functions required in SINDYc to exactly represent the reactor dynamics under a point approximation. In the future, SINDYc can be integrated with point models for reactor dynamics before being applied to the physical system to yield higher accuracy.

Immersive Scientific Visualization of Molten-Salt Reactor Waste Characteristics Using Virtual Reality

Immersive visualization is changing how we explore, communicate, and understand complex scientific systems. In nuclear energy, an area in which data are often multidimensional, time-dependent, and difficult to interpret, virtual reality (VR) represents a powerful and intuitive informational medium. This work introduces a VR-based platform that visualizes the post-shutdown behavior and waste management lifecycle of molten-salt reactors (MSRs), a next-generation reactor type with unique operational and safety characteristics. The platform, built in Unity, is streamed on the Meta Quest 3 headset. It transforms high-fidelity simulation data into an interactive, immersive experience. Users can explore time-dependent reactor characteristics such as nuclide decay, which is a key factor for evaluating reactor waste strategies. The datasets were generated using the MOOSE (Multiphysics Object-Oriented Simulation Environment) framework and then processed through ParaView scripting for smooth integration into Unity. From a visualization standpoint, the platform emphasizes spatial storytelling, temporal exploration, and user-centered interaction. Users can navigate 3D reactor geometries, slice through volumetric data, and manipulate time to observe how physical phenomena evolve. Real-scale rendering and embodied interaction make the experience feel tangible. The interface is designed to be accessible, even to those without nuclear or simulation expertise. This lowers the barrier for stakeholders, policymakers, and the general public, while still supporting expert analysis and collaborative decision-making. This work shows how immersive visualization can function as both a scientific tool and a communication interface. By integrating simulation, processing, and visualization into a cohesive workflow, we offer a scalable framework for immersive scientific storytelling. The modular design supports future extensions to other reactor types and lifecycle stages, from shutdown to long-term storage, making the platform adaptable for both research and outreach.

Potential applications of microbial genomics in nuclear non-proliferation

As nuclear technology evolves in response to increased demand for diversification and decarbonization of the energy sector, new and innovative approaches are needed to effectively identify and deter the proliferation of nuclear arms, while ensuring safe development of global nuclear energy resources. Preventing the use of nuclear material and technology for unsanctioned development of nuclear weapons has been a long-standing challenge for the International Atomic Energy Agency and signatories of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Environmental swipe sampling has proven to be an effective technique for characterizing clandestine proliferation activities within and around known locations of nuclear facilities and sites. However, limited tools and techniques exist for detecting nuclear proliferation in unknown locations beyond the boundaries of declared nuclear fuel cycle facilities, representing a critical gap in non-proliferation safeguards. Microbiomes, defined as “characteristic communities of microorganisms” found in specific habitats with distinct physical and chemical properties, can provide valuable information about the conditions and activities occurring in the surrounding environment. Microorganisms are known to inhabit radionuclide-contaminated sites, spent nuclear fuel storage pools, and cooling systems of water-cooled nuclear reactors, where they can cause radionuclide migration and corrosion of critical structures. Microbial transformation of radionuclides is a well-established process that has been documented in numerous field and laboratory studies. These studies helped to identify key bacterial taxa and microbially-mediated processes that directly and indirectly control the transformation, mobility, and fate of radionuclides in the environment. Expanding on this work, other studies have used microbial genomics integrated with machine learning models to successfully monitor and predict the occurrence of heavy metals, radionuclides, and other process wastes in the environment, indicating the potential role of nuclear activities in shaping microbial community structure and function. Results of this previous body of work suggest fundamental geochemical-microbial interactions occurring at nuclear fuel cycle facilities could give rise to microbiomes that are characteristic of nuclear activities. These microbiomes could provide valuable information for monitoring nuclear fuel cycle facilities, planning environmental sampling campaigns, and developing biosensor technology for the detection of undisclosed fuel cycle activities and proliferation concerns.

Study of Tritium Diffusivity in Pure and Sn-Defective Zr: A First-Principles Density Functional Theory Approach

Zirconium alloys (e.g., zircaloy-4) are used as tritium ( 3 H) getter materials in tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) owing to their ability to capture 3 H and chemically convert them into metal hydrides. Understanding of 3 H diffusion mechanisms in zircaloy is crucial for the optimal design of material performance in nuclear technology. Here, for this work, we perform first-principles density functional theory calculations to study the 3 H diffusion mechanism in pure and impure Zr with a low concentration of tin (Sn) atoms to determine the impact of the presence of Sn on the movement of 3 H atoms through the material. First, we calculated the diffusion barriers for 3 H in pure Zr by taking different migration pathways. We then introduced a low concentration of Sn impurity and systematically explored the impurity effect on the diffusion barriers for 3 H. Using our calculated diffusion energy barriers, we further obtained the diffusion coefficients and analyzed the results by comparing them with the experimental and previously calculated values. A diffusion coefficient of the order of 10 –8 m 2 /s is predicted. We also found that the presence of a Sn impurity could reduce the diffusivity up to 4 orders of magnitude. In conclusion, our results could serve as guidelines for further experimental investigations.

Empirical investigation of nuclear correlation function distributions in lattice QCD

Two-point correlation functions of systems with baryon number 𝐵 ∈ {1,2,3,4} are investigated using lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD). In particular, the empirical distributions of importance-sampling Monte-Carlo samples of these correlation functions are examined as a function of the spacetime separation between the two points and the baryon number. While the exact forms of these distributions are not known for QCD, recent work has determined asymptotic expressions for analogous correlation function distributions in simpler theories such as scalar field theory and the disordered phase of the 𝑂⁡(𝑁) model. The theoretical 𝑂⁡(𝑁) model distributions are found to provide an accurate description of the empirical QCD distributions at zero momentum over a wide range of temporal separations for each baryon number when assessed with a range of different statistical tests. In particular, the behavior of the baryon number 𝐵 QCD correlation function at large temporal separation is well reproduced by the 𝑂⁡(𝑁 ∼ 2/𝐵) model distribution.

Transverse energy–energy correlations of jets in the electron–proton deep inelastic scattering at HERA

We study the event shape variables, transverse energy–energy correlation TEEC (cosφ) and its asymmetry ATEEC (cosφ) in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at the electron–proton collider HERA, where φ is the angle between two jets defined using a transverse-momentum (k T ) jet algorithm. At HERA, jets are defined in the Breit frame, and the leading nontrivial transverse energy–energy correlations arise from the 3-jet configurations. With the help of the NLOJET++, these functions are calculated in the leading order (LO) and the next-to-leading order (NLO) approximations in QCD at the electron–proton center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 314 GeV. We restrict the angular region to -0.8 ≤ cosφ ≤ 0.8, as the forward- and backward-angular regions require resummed logarithmic corrections, which we have neglected in this work. Following experimental jet-analysis at HERA, we restrict the DIS-variables x, y = Q 2 /(xs), where Q 2 = -q 2 is the negative of the momentum transfer squared q 2 , to 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, 0.2 ≤ y ≤ 0.6, and the pseudo-rapidity variable in the laboratory frame (η lab ) to the range -1 ≤ η lab ≤ 2.5. The TEEC and ATEEC functions are worked out for two ranges in Q 2 , defined by 5.5GeV 2 ≤ Q 2 ≤ 80GeV 2 , called the low-Q 2 -range, and 150GeV 2 ≤ Q 2 ≤ 1000GeV 2 , called the high-Q 2 -range. We show the sensitivity of these functions on the parton distribution functions (PDFs), the factorization (μ F ) and renormalization (μ R ) scales, and on α s (M$^2_Z$). Of these the correlations are stable against varying the scale μ F and the PDFs, but they do depend on μ R . For the choice of the scale μ R =$\sqrt{\langle ET \rangle^2+Q^2}$, advocated in earlier jet analysis at HERA, the shape variables TEEC and ATEEC are found perturbatively robust. These studies are useful in the analysis of the HERA data, including the determination of α s (M$^2_Z$) from the shape variables.

In situ thermal conductivity measurement revealing kinetics of thermochemical reactions

Utilizing thermochemical reactions for thermal energy storage and solar fuel production has been an emerging research topic. Thermal transport properties of the materials are an important parameter that can determine the kinetics and efficiency of thermochemical reactions. With the increasing number of new thermochemical materials (TCMs); however, there is a lack of reliable techniques to monitor the thermal transport property of the materials and their changes as a function of reactions in real time. In this work, we report the in situ monitoring of thermochemical reactions using modulated photothermal radiometry (MPR). The thermal conductivities of two TCMs, namely, calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2 ) and Ba 0.15 Sr 0.85 FeO 3–δ (BSF1585), were measured as a function of temperature and time using the MPR technique. The measured thermal conductivities were correlated to the reaction. The work has two significant contributions to the research communities. First, it provides a non-invasive diagnostic tool for monitoring the thermal transport properties of TCMs that can potentially be a high-throughput measurement technique conducive to optimizing TCMs, reactors, and related thermal systems. Second, for TCMs that show observable changes in thermal transport properties, a correlation between the measured thermal conductivity and the conversion fraction of the reaction can be established for monitoring the reaction kinetics based on thermal characterization.

Broken-Symmetry Density Functional Theory Analysis of the Ω Intermediate in Radical S -Adenosyl- l -methionine Enzymes: Evidence for a Near-Attack Conformer over an Organometallic Species

Radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes are found in all domains of life and catalyze a wide range of biochemical reactions. Recently, an organometallic intermediate, Ω, has been experimentally implicated in the 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical generation mechanism of the radical SAM superfamily. In this work, we employ broken-symmetry density functional theory to evaluate several structural models of Ω. The results show that the calculated hyperfine coupling constants (HFCCs) for the proposed organometallic structure of Ω are inconsistent with the experiment. In contrast, a near-attack conformer of SAM bound to the catalytic [4Fe–4S] cluster, in which the distance between the unique iron and SAM sulfur is ~3 Å, yields HFCCs that are all within 1 MHz of the experimental values. Furthermore, these results clarify the structure of the ubiquitous Ω intermediate and suggest a paradigm shift reversal regarding the mechanism of SAM cleavage by members of the radical SAM superfamily.

Dimensionally Aligned Signal Projection Algorithms Library

Dimensionally aligned signal projection (DASP) algorithms are used to analyze fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and generate visualizations that help focus on the harmonics for specific signals. At a high level, these algorithms extract the FFT segments around each harmonic frequency center, and then align them in equally sized arrays ordered by increasing distance from the base frequency. This allows for a focused view of the harmonic frequencies, which, among other use cases, can enable machine learning algorithms to more easily identify salient patterns. This work seeks to provide an effective open-source implementation of the DASP algorithms proposed by Vann et al. (2018) as well as functionality to help explore and test how these algorithms work with an interactive dashboard and signal-generation tool. The DASP library is implemented in Python and contains four types of algorithms for implementing these feature engineering techniques: fixed harmonically aligned signal projection (HASP), decimating HASP, interpolating HASP, and frequency aligned signal projection (FASP). Each algorithm returns a numerical array, which can be visualized as an image. The HASP algorithms are variations of the algorithms originally presented by Vann et al. (2018). For consistency, FASP, which is the terminology used for the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), has been implemented as part of the library to provide a similar interface to the STFT of the raw signal. Additionally, the library contains an algorithm to generate artificial signals with basic customizations such as the base frequency, sample rate, duration, number of harmonics, noise, and number of signals. Finally, the library provides multiple interactive visualizations, each of which is implemented using IPyWidgets and works in a Jupyter environment. A dashboard-style visualization is provided, which contains some common signal-processing visual components (signal, FFT, spectogram) updating in unison with the HASP functions (see Figure 1 below). Separate from the dashboard, an independent visualization is provided for each of the DASP algorithms as well as for the artifical signal generator. These visualizations are included in the library to aid in developing an intuitive understanding how the algorithms are affected by different input signals and parameter selections.

Tidal Love numbers and Green’s functions in black hole spacetimes

Tidal interactions play a crucial role in deciphering gravitational wave signals emitted by the coalescence of binary systems. They are usually quantified by a set of complex coefficients which include tidal Love numbers, describing the conservative response to an external perturbation. In the static case, these are found to vanish exactly for asymptotically flat black holes in general relativity in four space-time dimensions, and recently they have been generalized to dynamical interactions. In the context of response theory, the retarded Green’s function provides the complete description of the behavior of dynamical systems. Here, in this work we investigate the relation between Love numbers and Green’s functions, and highlight the relevance of radiation reaction effects to their connection. As a special case, we discuss Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black holes, where the absence of radiative modes allows us to make a direct link between them.

Role of Bimetallic Interactions in the Enhancement of Catalytic CO 2 Reduction by a Macrocyclic Cobalt Catalyst

The use of two metal centers in a CO 2 reduction catalyst that work together synergistically, with similar or complementary functions, can potentially lead to a significant reduction in overpotential, enhance catalytic activity and/or selectivity, and/or enable access to cascade strategies where each metal center catalyzes a different step in the conversion of CO 2 to a fuel. Here, the bimetallic reactivity of two metal centers has been identified as the primary route for the reduction of CO 2 to CO promoted by the macrocycle, [Co(HMD)] 2+ (HMD = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-diene), based on the experimental characterization of all major steps of the proposed catalytic cycle using pulse radiolysis time-resolved IR (PR-TRIR) spectroscopy, corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and IR spectroelectrochemistry (IR-SEC). A bimetallic intermediate is formed in situ from two singly reduced [Co(HMD)] + species bridged by a CO 2 molecule, and the presence of a coordinating species, e.g., formate anion, appears to assist in the formation of such an intermediate. In this work, it has been demonstrated that this reactivity enables access to elementary steps with lower energy requirements, resulting in overall catalysis being kinetically more facile compared to the mononuclear pathway. A two-step approach that combines chemical reduction followed by PR-TRIR has been successfully used for probing the structure and reactivity of reactive intermediates involved in the advanced stages of a catalytic cycle, which are rarely interrogated using experimental techniques.
