Materials such as aluminium with high thermal and electrical conductivities are of industrial interest, particularly for the automotive industry in the current context of increasing production of electric vehicles. The reflective properties of this material make it difficult to process ... Read More
Effectively storing hydrogen in solid form using metal hydrides requires careful attention to thermal management challenges due to the exothermic nature of hydrogen absorption in metal hydrides [1], [2]. The generated heat during this process must be efficiently removed to achieve ... Read More
A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) can convert the chemical energy of a fuel (H2-rich gas mixture [1] or syngas [2, 3] or biogas [4]) in electric and thermal energies with high electric efficiency. It is composed of two porous gas diffusion electrodes and an electrolyte (Figure 1). The fuel ... Read More
The goal of this study is to exploit the phase change in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) for optical sensing. Infrared (IR) sensing is of paramount interest for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to enable low-energy consumption sensors, ... Read More
The process-induced deformation in the DED fabricated part is a critical issue to the scaling of the technology. Currently, an inefficient and expensive experiment trial-and-error approach is utilized to tackle this issue, however it is not feasible for large parts. Researchers have ... Read More
Reflow soldering is a widely used technique in electronics manufacturing that facilitates the precise and automated assembly of electronic components onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). This method is indispensable for the efficient production of intricate electronic devices, ensuring ... Read More
Package material for liquid food packages typically features a multilayered structure with paperboard as a core material and protective polymer layers towards the product and the ambient. Aseptic food packages require an additional barrier layer comprising a thin aluminum layer. Aluminum ... Read More
Bimetallic mechanical parts made of steel and bronze combine in an optimal manner the mechanical properties of the steel and the excellent anti-friction characteristics of the bronze. These properties make applications possible in various high-tech domains such as aviation, energy and ... Read More
High temperature variations inside a tent can be a problem for campers’ thermal comfort. To increase user comfort, Decathlon has tents called "Fresh & Black (F&B)". The main improvement of this equipment lies in the textile technology, regulating the temperature inside and ... Read More
The Z-pinch (or zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system used in fusion power research. It relies on an electric current discharge within the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses the plasma, creating conditions conducive to nuclear fusion. The concept of Z-pinch ...
