Biophotons are ultraweak photons emitted by living cells as a byproduct of metabolic activity [1]. Elevated biophoton production in neurons has led to speculation that photons may play a role in intercellular communication [2-3]. For such signaling to occur, photons must be able to ... Read More
Macroscopic modeling of fluid flow and thermal diffusion in porous media relies on the accurate estimation of equivalent properties such as permeability and effective thermal conductivity. These properties are strongly influenced by the complex 3D topology of the microstructure and the ... Read More
The performance and rechargeability of zinc-air batteries are found to be significantly influenced by the microstructure of the zinc anode [1]. It is evident that features such as porosity, connectivity, and spatial distribution of solid phases exert a considerable influence on ionic ... Read More
Proton and Radiotherapy are leading particle therapy tactics used to combat chronic and malignant cancers [1]. Ultra-high dose rate (UHDR) flash therapy is a new treatment modality that is currently being studied by several groups. The treatment delivers high doses in a short period of ... Read More
Modelling solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCS), involves these complex physicochemical interactions: electrochemical reactions, fluid flow, heat transfer, and charge carrier transport inside porous microstructures. The existing models often do simplify the electrodes structures and decouple the ... Read More
Thermal flow meters represent a vast range of sensors for applications in oil and gas, sustainable energy, food and medical care markets, where precise control of the mass flow is required. As a part of the MEMS production process, testing is performed after product assembly. Due to high ... Read More
Among the different uses of primary energy in the industrial and residential sectors, refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume around 17% of the electricity produced worldwide [1], reaching dissipated powers of approximately 2000 TWh [2]. These devices are based on the vapor ... Read More
Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a promising photovoltaic technology but their performance remains limited by incomplete absorption of incident photons, primarily due to reflection at the transparent front electrode [1]. To address this issue, interface engineering with graphene-based ... Read More
