The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC machine consists on a 27 km circumference tunnel that accelerates and collides proton beams and heavy ions. The High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) is a project aiming to upgrade the LHC ... Read More
The acceleration of protons and ions by highly intense, ultra-short laser pulses is a very active field of experimental and theoretical research. From laser-plasma interactions the emission of a strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) has often been reported as a side effect. It potentially ... Read More
Lyophilization is a food preservation process that allows to inhibit the growth of bacteria and other contaminants by removing water content in the processed food. Conventional vacuum dryers provide heat by thermal conduction to assist the phase change transformation, but if the product ... Read More
In the EMPIR project ADVENT the Scanning Microwave Microscopy (SMM) is investigated. The SMM is a still rather novel member of the family of scanning probe microscope. It has attracted a lot of attention recently, because this instrument can be used to characterize various electrical ... Read More
Real-time microstructure monitoring is important during the cooling process for hot-rolled strip steel production, as the microstructure formed determines the mechanical properties required by customers. The materials magnetic and electric properties, relative permeability and ... Read More
The transport of fluid through nanochannels is of importance in a variety of technological applications, including biological sensing, energy storage and conversion, chemical separation and many others. Synthetic nanofluidic architectures that mimic the gating functions of biological ion ... Read More
Plasma gasification of biomass is emerging as an efficient way to reduce the carbon foot print of waste management while generating renewable energy. In general, gasification is a process where electromagnetic wave energy is used to heat biomass sufficiently to convert the bio-mass to ... Read More
Microheaters used for gas sensing applications have been studied analytically and experimentally. Previously reported microheaters at COMSOL® conferences have shed light on microheaters’ thermal properties, optimized geometries and power consumption—all based on steady-state analysis. In ...

INTRODUCTION: The Dirac equation is employed in particle physics and historically gave the first combined unification of quantum mechanics and relativity theory by introducing a four component wave function Ψi. This wave function described the behavior of fermion type particles (e.g. ... Read More
The Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is an electric space propulsion concept to generate denser ion and electron beams using inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion theory and helicon source. Helicon source is employed to generate the plasma and the ... Read More
