Where Can I Find COMSOL Multiphysics Tutorial Models?
There are 2 ways you can find COMSOL’s tutorial models: The online Application Gallery includes downloadable resources and the Application Library makes models available directly in the software.
Optimizing Mach-Zehnder Modulator Designs with COMSOL Software
3 design requirements for a Mach–Zehnder modulator: It must produce low loss, give a 50/50 split of power through the 2 output arms, and be used as a spatial switch. See how simulation can help.
Modeling a Branch Line Coupler
A branch line coupler is made up of 2 sets of coupled ports with a phase difference of 90° between them. Power enters through 1 input port and is then divided equally between 2 output ports.
Happy Birthday, Nicolaus Copernicus
Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus first theorized the concept of a heliocentric universe. At the time, this was controversial. Now, more than 500 years later, we believe him.
Rocket Innovations for Private Space Flight
Did you know that up until the 1920s, rockets were powered by solid propellants and oxidizers? Enter the invention of the liquid-fuel rocket. Learn more about innovations in modern rocketry.
New Technology Advancements for Indoor Navigation
Global position systems, more commonly known as GPS, make it easy to navigate from place to place. But what about navigating inside an actual building? Indoor navigation makes this possible.
Red Blood Cell Separation from a Flow Channel
Lab-on-a-chip technology can be used to separate red blood cell via magnetophoresis — for example, motion induced by magnetic fields. Simulation can be used to optimize such devices.
2D Materials, It’s Not Just About Graphene
You’ve heard the story: a couple of scientists discovered graphene when they repeatedly pulled a strip of adhesive tape off a layer of graphite. Graphene has been all the rage due to its incredible strength, low weight, and electronic properties, but it’s not the only material of its kind. There are plenty of other 2D materials to consider for electrical applications — some of which may work together with graphene, and others that can be used in its place.
