[1] Danish Polymer Centre, DTU Chemical Engineering, Lyngby, Denmark

Dielectric elastomers are a promising group of smart materials, which finds application within many fields such as soft robotics, wave-energy harvesting, and loud speakers. A dielectric elastomer consists of a thin, stretchable polymer film sandwiched between two compliant electrodes. ... Read More

Collecting Photons from an STM Microscope

H. Cabrera [1], B. Zengin [2],
[1] Laboratory for Solid State Physics, ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland
[2] Department of Physics, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey

We modify a Tunnel Effect Microscope (STM) with the purpose of analyzing the local production of photons in the electrostatic junction during the image taking process. The novelty of this project compared to previous studies is that it is intended to be developed from the beginning as ... Read More

Damages caused by lightning overvoltages remains to be an important issue for electrical industry, putting limitations for efficiency of transmission and distribution of electrical energy. Modern solutions for lightning protection such as multichamber arresters (MCA) for overhead ... Read More

Acoustic Upside-Down Levitator with a Solid Sample

L. Holitzner [1], E. G. Lierke [2],
[1] Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI), Villigen PSI, Switzerland
[2] tec5 AG, Oberursel, Germany

Introduction: Acoustic levitators are used to levitate small samples (ca. 0.01 - 6 mm) at a stable position in a gas or liquid environment. Acoustic levitators were first developed und used for experiments in space (1970s, by NASA / ESA), the application later became terrestrial (1990s). ... Read More
