A model based on surface potential decay (SPD) measurement was developed to study the trap energy distribution of hole-type and electron-type traps in materials by considering two distinct energy ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

Our group has recently developed StimuFrac, a nontoxic stimuli-responsive fracturing fluid consisting on a CO2-reactive polymer which has been shown at the lab-scale to consistently fracture rock ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

In the paper, a novel model of fluid-conveying nanotubes made of bi-directional functionally graded materials is presented for investigating the dynamic behaviors and stability. For the first time, ...

It has gradually developed into an undisputable fact that sharkskin surface has the obvious drag reduction effect compared with the absolutely smooth skins, and it has been put into application widely ...

Many fundamental studies have indicated that the vibration of conveying fluid pipe is more severe and complex at high subcritical fluid velocity. The control of vibration in this case, however, still ...

This paper reports a molecular simulation study on the adsorption of simple fluids (argon at 77 K) on hydroxylated silica surfaces and nanopores. The effect of surface chemistry is addressed by ...

World's first practical surface-emitting laser for optical fiber communications developed: advancing miniaturization, energy efficiency, and cost reduction of light sources Peer-Reviewed ...
