Large arrays, typically consisting of thousands of devices, made from thin film PZT MEMS technology are increasingly being used in several applications including industrial inkjet printers, adaptive optics and so on. Thin film PZT is attractive because of lower operating voltages and ... Read More
Artificial cascades for the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) to form value-added products are a developing technology, in which mass transport, reaction rates, local microenvironment and concentrations are all crucial parameters. These properties are highly dependent on the ... Read More
Spinal cord injury triggers an initial inflammatory response followed by scar tissue formation, hindering the repair of severed neural tracts and sensorimotor function.1 Injectable hydrogels consisting of a water-swollen polymer network can be engineered to mimic the environment of ... Read More
Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... Read More
The Reelwell Drilling Method (RDM) represents an innovative and energy-efficient approach to directional drilling (Rajabi et al. 2009; Belarde and Vestavik 2011; Breivik et al. 2020). RDM has been particularly successful in enhancing MPD and ERD. The technology enables constant well ... Read More
Fire resistance tests of building elements are essential for evaluating their ability to withstand fire exposure and prevent fire spread. Fire resistance tests are expensive and usually take months to organize. If the same structure is retested at the same lab, the systems are so complex ... Read More
Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... Read More
Urban road tunnels offer a promising solution to extend existing road infrastructure while mitigating air pollution and nuisances affecting nearby residential areas. By diverting traffic underground, valuable surface space becomes available to address other urban challenges. However, ... Read More
The mechanism of plasmonic photocatalytic systems is still debated as the two major mechanistic pathways, i.e., near-electric field and hot electron transfer for semiconductor photocatalytic systems coupled with small size (dia. < 25 nm) plasmon nanoparticles, are specific to the ... Read More
In the rapid development cycle of sensor systems, minimizing time-to-market is crucial. However, designing a new MEMS-chip (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) presents significant challenges due to the extensive time required for manufacturing and characterization. This delay affects the ... Read More
