One of the major applications for dielectrophoresis is the selective trapping and fractionation in lab-on-a-chip devices. Nevertheless, many-particle effects due to high concentrations of biological material around electrodes can cause a rapid decrease of trapping efficiency in ... Read More
Introduction Throughout the field of micro- and nanoscale electrokinetics, floating bipolar electrodes (BPEs) have proven to be useful in manipulating charged ionic species and biomolecules for electroanalytical studies. The growing use of integrated electronics in working towards fully ... Read More
Utility-scale photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) generation facilities are located in desert environments throughout the world to take advantage of the high availability of sunlight in these areas. Unfortunately, naturally occurring sandstorms in these deserts often ... Read More
Electronic devices operating at cryogenic temperatures are critical for a wide variety of applications including quantum computing, space, medicine and fundamental research [1]. The design of these devices requires accurate physical modeling of the electric fields, currents, conduction ... Read More
Peristaltic pumps are used during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, for filling, filtration and mixing operations. Goal of this work was to develop a computational model of a peristaltic pump used for filling operations, to predict shear stresses and mass flow rates. For this ... Read More
A beneficial method for transporting highly viscous hydrocarbons (e.g. heavy oil and bitumen) through a pipeline is known as Lubricated Pipe Flow (LPF). A major challenge for this technology is flow instability caused by the formation of a wall-coating of oil or the thinning and/or loss ... 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
Electrical scanning probe microscopy (SPM) techniques, such as electrostatic force microscopy, nanoscale impedance microscopy or scanning near field microwave microscopy, are a relatively new branch of microscopy techniques that can generate images of the nanoscale electrical properties ...

Assessing the severity of the internal corrosion of structures is of paramount importance in the oil & gas industry. Modelling and simulation of this process proved to be key techniques to understand its mechanism and the main factors influencing its severity [1-4]. Considerable ... Read More
A new nonvolatile memory device based on its resistance state has emerged known as resistive random access memory (RRAM). It operates by switching between the high resistance and low resistance states which can be interpreted as logical 0 and 1 variables. Understanding the resistive ... Read More
