We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of propane-1,2-diol (propylene glycol) based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with an existing equation of state, and it is valid from the triple
Quasi 0-D lead-Free thermochromic organic-inorganic hybrid single crystals (C7H9NF)8M4I16 (M = Bi, Sb) were synthesized by a conventional solvothermal reaction method. The crystal structures were analyzed using single crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD)

This report documents an experimental program designed to investigate High Energy Arcing Fault (HEAF) phenomena for medium voltage electrical switchgear containing aluminum conductors. This report covers full-scale laboratory experiments using
The challenges of the Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks include connectivity, interoperability, security, and privacy. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) P1451.0 standard is being revised based on these challenges and
New experimental data for the thermal conductivity of 1,1,1,2,2,3,3-heptafluoro-3-methoxypropane (RE-347mcc, HFE-7000) are reported for vapor, liquid, and supercritical states. These new experimental data were obtained with transient hot-wire apparatus

Mass spectrometry and Raman vibrational spectroscopy were used to follow competitive dynamics between adsorption and desorption of H and anions during potential cycling of three low index Cu surfaces in acid electrolytes. Unique to Cu(111) is a redox wave

The performance of solid-state electrochemical systems is intimately tied to the potential and lithium distributions across electrolyte–electrode junctions that give rise to interface impedance. Here, we combine two operando methods, Kelvin probe force

Solid solutions in the Ba(Pb1−xSrx)O3−z system were prepared by aliovalent substitution of Pb4+ by Sr2+ ions to investigate the effect of cation stoichiometry on thermal and electrical properties as x was varied between 0 and 0.4, in the temperature range

An interconnected network of high-aspect ratio Ag nanowires was pressed against porous gas diffusion layers (both conductive or non-conductive) to use as a gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to CO. Varying the amount of
Fast and accurate prediction of hurricane evolution from genesis onwards is needed to reduce loss of life and enhance community resilience. In this work, a novel model development methodology for predicting storm trajectory is proposed based on two classes
A new fundamental equation of state is presented for trifluoroethene (R1123). This novel refrigerant is a promising constituent of refrigerant mixtures for use in residential air conditioners due to its zero ozone depletion, ultra-low GWP, and favorable

This is an Editorial for the Journal of Synchrotron Radiation (JSR) to inform all readers, authors and supporters about the coming transition of the journal to become fully open access. All papers submitted to JSR after 1 October 2021, will be for open
There is a fundamental understanding in photovoltaics that sub-bandgap light will not be absorbed in the solar cell and therefore will not affect the power generation. We have shown a novel phenomenon in which sub-bandgap illumination is required for good

This paper quantifies machining process inventories based on commonly used techniques in various stages of the detailed design process. We investigate variabilities in process inventories between these techniques and their relation to manufacturing process
Many ferroelectric (FE) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) show great promise in the fields of photovoltaic cells and information memory devices. We systematically investigated the FE, optical, and electric properties of quasi-one-dimensional

As interest in Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices like wireless sensors increases, research efforts have focused on finding ways for these sensors to self-harvest energy from the environment in which they are installed. Photovoltaic (PV) cells or mini
A major concern for interconnected power grid systems is low frequency oscillation, which limits the scalability and transmission capacity of power systems. Un-damped, or poorly-damped oscillations will lead to undesirable conditions or even a catastrophic
