A new concept for superior energy dissipation in hierarchical materials and structures
G. Puglisi, N. M. Pugno
We propose a new conceptual approach to reach unattained dissipative properties based on the friction of slender concentric sliding columns. We begin by searching for the optimal t…
The Simons Observatory: Beam characterization for the Small Aperture Telescopes
Nadia Dachlythra, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden, Jon E. Gudmundsson +27
We use time-domain simulations of Jupiter observations to test and develop a beam reconstruction pipeline for the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescopes. The method relies on…
"Water to the ropes": a predictive model for the supercontraction stress of spider silks
Vincenzo Fazio, Nicola Maria Pugno, Giuseppe Puglisi
When humidified at different moisture conditions, restrained spider silk fibers can exhibit a very high supercontraction phenomenon. The hydration water molecules induce a Hydrogen…
Polarization fraction of Planck Galactic cold clumps and forecasts for the Simons Observatory
J. Clancy, G. Puglisi, S. E. Clark +6
We measure the polarization fraction of a sample of Galactic cold clumps at , consisting of Galactic cold clump (PGCC) catalogue category 1 ob…
Cooperative melting in double-stranded peptide chains through local mechanical interactions
Luca Bellino, Giuseppe Florio, Alain Goriely +1
Under an external field a double-stranded peptide chain can separate in a fragile or ductile transition. It is usually believed that these two regimes are driven either by chemical…
Tensor-to-scalar ratio forecasts for extended LiteBIRD frequency configurations
U. Fuskeland, J. Aumont, R. Aurlien +114
LiteBIRD is a planned JAXA-led CMB B-mode satellite experiment aiming for launch in the late 2020s, with a primary goal of detecting the imprint of primordial inflationary gravitat…
