Cold spraying, also known as gas dynamic cold spraying or supersonic particle deposition, is an additive manufacturing technique wherein powder particles are accelerated by a carrier or driving gas passing through a ...

Speckle, named such after a similar effect appearing in laser optics, has been a recognized phenomenon in ultrasonic imaging since the late twentieth century. Speckle is best described as the noise that seems to obscure ...

Next generation solar cells have the potential to be cost effective without compromising efficiency. Stacks of semiconducting thin films comprised of organic polymers or small molecules have superior absorbance and fabrication ...

Furniture design is the underlying notion in all of my artworks. Some works are directly derived from recognizable features of furniture, while others, though heavily influenced by furniture design, may not be so obvious ...

Nanoscale devices are promising for the next generation of electronics, providing possibilities for greater hard drive storage capacity and higher computer execution speed. There are many strategies to produce such devices, ...

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots (QDs) have been a subject of interest for many years due to their favorable optoelectronic properties arising directly from their small size through quantum confinement ...

Photo-crosslinkable hydrogel films are versatile materials for controlled drug delivery devices (Duncan, 2003), three-dimensional micro-assemblies, and components in microfluidic systems (Beebe et al., 2000). A hydrogel ...

A solar cell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. Solar cells hold plenty of potential in becoming a more widely available source of electricity that makes economic sense. However, improvements ...

Understanding domain wall (DW) motion in ferromagnetic nanostructures is crucial for realizing proposed magnetic data storage and logic devices. Simulations offer time-wise and cost-wise efficiency when testing theories ...
