Linear compressors are used to drive pulse tube or Stirling cryocoolers, and they can be used as expanders in place of inertance tubes when inertance tubes cannot provide sufficient phase shifts between flow and pressure. Commercial linear compressors

Unsaturated hydrocarbons are an important component of hydrocarbon fuels and intermediates in their oxidation. Under rich conditions, H atom attack is one of the principle pathways of the decomposition of these unsaturated compounds. Consequently, it is
Testing standards are more fundamental from a metrological perspective and less controversial from an industrial perspective than product standards, representing a path of less resistance towards the standardization and commercialization of lab on a chip

Surfaces which evince superhydrophobic properties during water condensation have a potential to dramatically enhance energy efficiency in power generation and desalination systems. Although various such surfaces have been reported, their development has

We present a new system for cell capturing on permeable polyester (PET) membranes using dielectrophoretic forces. For the first time gold microelectrodes were fabricated on PET membranes using conventional photolithographic techniques. Their
We developed a computational model and theoretical framework to investigate the geometrical optimization of particle-surface interactions in a herringbone micromixer. The enhancement of biomolecule- and particle-surface interactions in microfluidic devices
The tremendous growth of fluorescence applications in the life and material sciences has proceeded largely without sufficient concern for the reliability and uncertainties related to the characterization and performance validation of fluorescence

The total vapor-phase densities of Dy in equilibrium with a DyI$_3$/InI condensate and Tm in equilibrium with a TmI$_3$/TlI condensate have been measured for temperatures between 900 K and 1400 K. The measurements show strong enhancements in rare-earth
Immunomagnetic isolation and magnetophoresis in microfluidics have emerged as viable techniques for the separation, fractionation, and enrichment of rare cells. Here, we present the development and characterization of a microfluidic system that

Normal metal - Insulator - Superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions can be used to selectively remove the hottest elec- trons in the normal metal, thereby causing it to cool. NIS tunnel junctions have already been used to cool lithograph- ically integrated

This manuscript describes a new method to generate purely diffusive chemical gradients that can be modified in time. The device is simple in its design and easy to use, which makes it amenable to study biological processes that involve static or dynamic

We demonstrate a high-accuracy dual-comb spectrometer centered at 3.4 υm. The amplitude and phase spectra of the P,, Q, and partial R branches of the methane Ņ3 band are measured at 25 to 100 MHz point spacing with resolution under 10 kHz and a signal-to
