The emerging field of orbitronics, which exploits the orbital degree of freedom of electrons rather than spin for information processing, offers a promising platform for next-generation eco-friendly electronic devices. It is also regarded a viable alternativeto spintronics, with orbital degree of freedom playing a central role in transport phenomena and magnetization manipulation. [...]

Mathematical optimization problems play a decisive role in various domains of theeconomy, health, and research. Examples include business modeling for profitmaximization or minimization problems in engineering and design. [...]

The synthesis of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon nanofibers consists of the steps of electrospinning, thermal stabilization, carbonization and frequently an optional activation. This work focusses on the impacts of thermal stabilization and KOH activation on the pore structure and the CO2 adsorption properties of carbon nanofibers. [...]

The urgent need to address climate change has accelerated the global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, with photovoltaics (PV) emerging as the fastest-growing technology in this field. By 2023, PV systems accounted for three-quarters of newly installedrenewable energy systems, highlighting their central role in meeting global climate targets. [...]

The wave-driven Brewer-Dobson circulation plays a crucial role in transporting radiatively active trace gases and aerosols through the stratosphere, which, in turn, impact the Earth’s radiation budget. A detailed understanding of this transport, particularly within a changing climate, is therefore critical. [...]
