Introducing nanostructures into conventional III-V solar materials can improve the light capturing ability of solar devices. Nanowires are thin columns light absorbing material with such a small footprint that they can be grown epitaxially on lattice mismatched substrates. By growing III ... Read More
A significant population of microorganisms (bacteria, archae and fungi) live inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and are collectively known as microbiota [1]. The microbiota contain lifelong information on the health of an individual and can assist in early diagnosis of diseases such ... Read More
Aerodynamic sound is generated by unsteady fluid motion and enhanced when the flow becomes turbulent. For example, drone is loud because the ambient air is stirred by their propeller to get lift and movement and the air becomes turbulent. Reduction of aerodynamic noise is an important ... Read More
An electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor was developed in a smartphone-based platform using a disposable disk-shaped carbon electrode. A time-varying square waveform potential was applied to the working electrode, and the current and ECL intensity data were measured. The applied ... Read More
Smouldering is flameless combustion which depends on an exothermic surface reaction occurring within a porous medium. It is harnessed by engineers to destroy organic liquid wastes in soil as the technology Self-sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR). During this remediation ... Read More
Mixing processes driven by rotating machinery are common in many engineering applications, and the simulation of such processes can aid in understanding and optimizing the mass, momentum, and energy transport in these systems. COMSOL Multiphysics® contains built-in functionality for ... Read More
Laser Powered Homogenous Pyrolysis (LPHP), a non-isothermal wall-less plug flow reactor using cw-IR CO2 laser heating by fast vibrational–translational (V–T) energy transfer, is a common technique for high temperature pyrolysis in the gas phase with minimal catalytic effect of hot ... Read More
This paper presents the design and simulation results of a MEMS-actuated deformable mirror (DM) consisting of a 20 × 20 Lorentz-force actuator array bonded to a flexible mirror. The DM is the critical component of an Adaptive Optics (AO) system targeted for ground-based telescope ... Read More
