Summary: The process of phase separation in elastic solids and viscous fluids is fundamental to the stability and function of soft materials. This study investigates the dynamics of phase separation and domain growth in viscoelastic materials, such as polymer gels, using analytical theory and Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the domain size increases algebraically with a ripening exponent that depends on the viscoelastic properties of the material, and this behavior is different from the well-known Ostwald ripening process.

Summary: This study analyzes the influence of the hypergravity field on the Ostwald ripening process using two theoretical models. It is found that increasing the gravity acceleration can shorten the mass transfer time and scaled hypergravity models can replicate long-term and large-scale geological phenomena in a short period.

Summary: The use of a mixture of costabilizers has been shown to enhance droplet stability in mini and nanoemulsions by preventing Ostwald ripening. Molecular dynamics simulations provide additional insights into the mechanisms behind this enhancement and allow the study of degradation under different conditions using a limited number of parameters. The retention of small costabilizer by the larger one is found to be the key factor contributing to the stability enhancement.

Summary: By conducting in situ observations of the early stage of electrochemical Na deposition, this research revealed an important electrochemical Ostwald ripening (EOR) phenomenon which dictates the early stage of Na deposition. Through two types of EOR, we gained a deeper understanding of the Na deposition mechanism.

Summary: The micromorphology of absorbent materials significantly impacts microwave absorption performance, and using hierarchically structured HDNCO can improve impedance matching and absorption performance. The Ostwald ripening process alters the structure and morphology of HDNCO, leading to enhanced absorption properties. This study provides important guidance for the structural design of high-performance microwave absorbers.

Summary: The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted attention for their high energy density and environmental benignity. This study investigated the role of temperature in regulating Li2S deposition and found that forming three-dimensional (3D) Li2S at high temperature effectively mitigates the passivation of the conductive matrix and significantly enhances the cell performance.

Summary: This study fabricated miniaturized QAH devices with channel widths down to 600 nm. A backscattering channel was formed in narrow QAH devices through percolative hopping between 2D compressible puddles. Large resistance fluctuations were observed in narrow devices near the coercive field due to collective interference along domain walls. Measurement of size-dependent breakdown current confirmed the confinement of chiral edge states at the physical boundary.

Summary: Ostwald ripening is a common physicochemical phenomenon where smaller particles dissolve and feed the bigger ones. This study provides evidence for Ostwald ripening occurring in an oxide-on-metal system, which is important for understanding heterogeneous catalysis.

Summary: This article investigates the Ostwald ripening of trapped bubbles in porous media, which is relevant to subsurface and manufacturing applications. Through simulations and theoretical analysis, the article reveals the evolution process of the bubble size distribution from initially non-uniform to stable equilibrium, and finds that the equilibration of bubbles in heterogeneous porous media is slower than in homogeneous media.

Summary: The novel tomato gene E6-2 plays a crucial role in regulating fruit ripening, with its expression being directly activated by MADS-RIN. Silencing of E6-2 leads to delayed ripening, reduced accumulation of carotenoids and lycopene, altered ethylene production, and changes in the content of various compounds. These findings highlight the importance of E6-2 in the control of tomato fruit ripening targeted by RIN.

Summary: The effects of hydrocolloid gums on the Ostwald ripening of emulsions stabilized with Brij or Tween surfactants were studied. Gums generally decreased the stability to Ostwald ripening, except for xanthan in Tween-stabilized emulsions. The addition of gums improved the stability of emulsions with a modified oil composition.

Summary: The formation and control of catalyst nanoparticles is crucial for reliable carbon nanotube growth. Catalyst reduction and high temperature annealing play key roles in determining the morphology of the CNPs, with a combination of both leading to CNP coarsening. A recipe involving low temperature catalyst reduction and high temperature annealing in an inert gas environment can help form uniform and dense CNPs, impacting the morphology of resulting CNTs.
