Alternating 200 kHz electric fields ~2 V/cm (Tumor Treating Fields, ‘TTFields’) kill cancer cells by disrupting the delicate orchestration of chromosome spindle formation, but the exact mechanism of action is unknown. The likely suspects are polarized intracellular molecules such as ... Read More
The transport of fluid through nanochannels is of importance in a variety of technological applications, including biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, chemical separation and many others. Synthetic nanofluidic architectures that mimic the gating functions of biological ion ... Read More
Resistive random-access memory (RRAM) is a non-volatile memory that operates via resistive switching between the insulating (OFF) and conducting (ON) states, representing the logical ‘0’ and ‘1’ binary states, in response to external bias. Attributes such as high memory density, fast ... Read More
We report the reversible thermoelectric switching [1, 2, 3] induced by a time dependent and frequency domain electric field (or AC voltage) in a microscopic single contact nano-device based on Gold and Vanadium Oxide, which promises potential applications for future information storage ...

Arc plasma can heat and melt the metal material and flows of molten metal can be affected by several forces such as Lorentz force which is ruled by current, Marangoni force controlled by surface tension, buoyancy force, and arc drag force. Usually, surface tension variation is determined ... Read More
Microheaters used for gas sensing applications have been studied analytically and experimentally. Previously reported microheaters at COMSOL® conferences have shed light on microheaters’ thermal properties, optimized geometries and power consumption—all based on steady-state analysis. In ...

One of the obstacles preventing photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies from scaling up to meet increasing electricity demands is the inevitable dust accumulation on the optical surfaces of solar collectors. The ideal location for solar power is arid environments due to ... Read More
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software has proved itself an invaluable tool for teaching "Transport Phenomena" to graduate and undergraduate engineers. In particular, the software allows us to visualize and explore solutions well beyond what students could do with pencil and paper. For ... Read More
