The ^{13}C(α,n)^{16}O reaction is the main neutron source for slow-neutron-capture process in asymptotic giant branch stars and intermediate process. Direct measurements at astrophysical energies above-ground laboratories are hindered by extremely small cross sections vast cosmic-ray-induced background. We performed first consistent direct measurement range of E_{c.m.}=0.24 to 1.9 MeV using accelerators China Jinping Underground Laboratory Sichuan University. Our covers almost entire Gamow...
Aerogels are regarded as the next generation of thermal insulators; however, conventional aerogels suffer from issues such brittleness, low moisture resistance, and a complex production process. Subnanowires (SNWs) emerging materials known for their exceptional flexibility, toughness, intrinsic hydrophobicity, gelling capabilities, making them ideal building blocks flexible, tough, hydrophobic, thermally insulating aerogels. Herein, we present simple scalable strategy to construct SNW by...
The ^{18}O(α,γ)^{22}Ne reaction is critical for AGB star nucleosynthesis due to its connection the abundances of several key isotopes, such as ^{21}Ne and ^{22}Ne. However, ambiguous resonance energy spin-parity dominant 470 keV leads substantial uncertainty in rate temperature interest. We have measured energies strengths low-energy resonances at Jinping Underground Nuclear Astrophysics experimental facility (JUNA) with improved precision. has been be E_{α}=474.0±1.1 keV, high precision...

At present, the mainstream industrial synthesis method of polyamide is still bulk fusion polymerization, which not in line with concept green because high threshold reaction conditions and large energy consumption. Based on this, a new route elastomer was studied this paper. By synthesizing end-functionalized long carbon chain diacrylamide (DDA) containing amide bonds, mechanism made by thiol double bond Michael addition reaction. A series elastomers different ratios hard soft segments were...
The solar composition problem has puzzled astrophysicists for more than 20 years. Recent measurements of carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) neutrinos by the Borexino experiment show a $\sim2\sigma$ tension with "low-metallicity" determinations. $^{14}$N$(p,\gamma)^{15}$O, slowest reaction in CNO cycle, plays crucial role standard model (SSM) calculations neutrino fluxes.

Abstract Advanced aerogels hold immense potential in thermal insulation. However, achieving high environmental adaptability aerogel insulators with elasticity, hydrophobicity, flame‐retardancy, and low temperature tolerance remains a significant challenge. Inspired by “brick‐mortar‐binder” biomimetic texture, layered double hydroxide/carboxylated cellulose nanofibers/Si–O–Si (LCS) hybrid is developed bottom‐up freeze‐drying. Owing to the distinct building blocks organized structure,...
