This study focuses on investigating the effect of various solvents on the supercritical extraction of organic matter from Moroccan oil shales, with the goal of determining the optimal operating conditions that result in a high yield of high-quality oil rich in aromatic compounds. The results of this study demonstrate that the extraction yield and quality of the extracted oil heavily depend on the chosen operating conditions for supercritical or subcritical extraction of organic matter from oil shale. Additionally, the study found that phenol can effectively degrade oil shale and enable extraction of nearly all the organic matter, even under mild conditions (T = 390˚C, P = 1.2 MPa, Time = 2.5 h. Furthermore, the oils obtained through this extraction process are of high quality, with a rich content of maltenes, and a higher concentration of aromatic compounds and lower levels of sulfur than those obtained using other solvents.

Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) facilitates spin manipulation without relying on an external magnetic field, opening up exciting possibilities for advanced spintronic devices. In this paper, we examine the effects of crystal momentum (k) nonlinearity and anisotropy on the conventional Rashba effect, with a particular focus on their impact on the spin Hall conductivity (SHC) in a newly predicted family of 2D Janus materials, W2COX (X=S, Se, Te). Using first-principles density functional theory calculations, we confirm the dynamical and mechanical stability of the studied 2D materials. Strikingly, this materials family exhibits pronounced nonlinear Rashba spin splitting at the Γ point of Brillouin zone near the Fermi level, which cannot be adequately described by the linear-k Rashba model. Therefore, third-order momentum contributions (k3) must be incorporated into the Rashba Hamiltonian. Our analysis reveals that among the studied systems, W2COS exhibits the highest k3 contribution of −45.9 eV Å3, despite having the lowest linear Rashba constant. A detailed analysis of electronic structure reveals topologically nontrivial behavior in these 2D materials, yielding sizable SHC that is primarily governed by the nonlinear Rashba effect. Notably, these materials also exhibit large spin Hall angle (0.018–2.5 at EF), which is comparable to that of in bulk topological insulators like Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3, and surpassing those in narrow bandgap bulk semiconductors GeTe and SnTe, as well as heavy metals such as Pt. Sizable SHC, large spin Hall angles, and the ability to tune SHC via electric fields without altering the topological properties, rooted in the crystal field splitting, underscore the potential of these materials for spintronic applications.

Biologically inspired soft anguilliform swimming robots show great promise in underwater exploration. Their soft bodies promise to reduce the chance of harming humans or wildlife with which they come into contact, and also to reduce their chance of becoming stuck in complex environments. Furthermore, the efficiency of anguilliform swimming may enable long duration operation. However, the design and fabrication of soft anguilliform swimming robots remain challenging. Here we present a design concept for a modular soft anguilliform robot. To address the challenge of consistently fabricating modules for this design, we also present a new fabrication method that combines injection molding and lost-core molding for the consistent fabrication of bi-directional fluidic elastomer actuator modules. We evaluate the consistency of the fabrication method through visual inspection, weight measurements, bending angle measurements and the measurement of force output of the actuator. This work represents a step towards an autonomous eel-inspired soft robot, as well as a new fabrication approach that may enable a number of other new soft robotic systems.
