Seasonal thermal energy storage systems are key enablers of future low-carbon and flexible energy infrastructures. Among the different storage technologies, water-gravel thermal energy storage (WGTES) offers a robust, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solution for large ... Read More
Hypolimnetic withdrawal is a lake restoration technique that targets internal nutrient loading by extracting water from the anoxic hypolimnion, where phosphorus is released from sediments. This method is currently implemented at Lake Kymijärvi in Lahti, Finland, where hypolimnetic water ... Read More
Background: Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is an electromagnetic imaging technique that maps a material's electrical conductivity by inducing eddy currents via a primary oscillating magnetic field. The resulting secondary magnetic fields from the eddy currents are measured for image ... Read More
The ability to separate and isolate living microparticles such as phytoplankton is crucial for biological analysis, yet remains technically demanding [1]. Traditional microseparation and isolation methods often rely on physical membranes which can only separate particles by size. While ... Read More
As semiconductor devices continue to shrink and incorporate complex 3D architectures, conventional optical metrology faces limitations in resolving features smaller than the optical wavelength or those hidden beneath opaque layers. Ultrafast photoacoustic spectroscopy provides a ... Read More
Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) enables highly sensitive gas detection without optical detectors by directly measuring the sound generated from light absorption. However, the performance of PAS systems strongly depends on the photoacoustic cell’s acoustic design. In this work, we ... Read More
Semiconductor companies are one of the major users of Finite Element Method simulations, trying to study manufacturing processes. A well-defined model can in fact guarantee significant savings of costs and time for the release to production of new technologies. The equilibrium between ... Read More
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an irreversible disease that causes vision loss, and nearly 11 million Americans are currently affected, with prevalence expected to double by 2050 due to an aging population. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in ... Read More
Phase change materials (PCMs), including shape memory alloys (SMAs), often exhibit thermal hysteresis behavior during phase transitions. Traditional modeling approaches employ binary or threshold-based phase transition models, which is often sufficient for steady-state applications or ... Read More
Simulation has become a critical part of product development, but workflows remain heavily manual and require significant expertise. Engineers often wait months on simulation requests. The delay slows design iterations and hinders early-stage feasibility assessments in the design ... Read More
