We report a discrete dipole approximation approach to analyse the perturbations induced by silver nano-particles on the decay dynamics of a point-like emitter placed in their proximity. Due to the excitation of localized...

Micro-capillaries with an engineered hidden surface were produced via the self-rolling of polymer thin films whose surface was photochemically modified so as to coat it with silver nanoparticles. The polymer films consis...

Copper matrix composites face the inherent strength-conductivity trade-off, limiting their high-end applications. Inspired by bone and bamboo, a bioinspired oriented multicore composite (BOMC) was fabricated. Its dual-ne...

Gold nanoparticles have many applications in the biomedical field, mainly for drug delivery, cancer therapy, and detection of pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, gold nanoparticles synthesized using Platycodon gran...

Medium-entropy superalloys (MESAs) show promise for extreme-temperature applications, yet their governing defect mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we reveal the hot-deformation behavior of a MESA at 1120 °C using atomic-...

Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) solar cells are promising candidates for high-specific-power photovoltaics due to their strong light-matter interactions, such as their high absorption coefficients. The per...

Abstract Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDC) are promising candidates for future scaled transistor channels but their performance is often degraded by imperfections such as the interface with amorphous gate oxides. T...

The present chapter explores how the distinctive characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), particularly when at different interfaces, account for many novel potential applications in the oil industry. According t...

The semiconductor ZnO has gained substantial interest in the research community in part because of its large exciton binding energy (60meV) which could lead to lasing action based on exciton recombination even above room...

There is intense interest in graphene in fields such as physics, chemistry, and materials science, among others. Interest in graphene's exceptional physical properties, chemical tunability, and potential for applications...

Metal halides perovskites, such as hybrid organic-inorganic CH3NH3PbI3, are newcomer optoelectronic materials that have attracted enormous attention as solution-deposited absorbing layers in solar cells with power conver...

Background Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are made by linking inorganic and organic units by strong bonds (reticular synthesis). The flexibility with which the constituents’ geometry, size, and functionality can be va...

Many potential applications have been proposed for carbon nanotubes, including conductive and high-strength composites; energy storage and energy conversion devices; sensors; field emission displays and radiation sources...

Eugenol (4-allyl-2-methoxyphenol) is a naturally occurring phenol present in many botanical extracts, such as clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg essential oils. The beneficial properties of this compound have been extensively i...

"High-temperature renewable and industrial heat applications require efficient and compact solutions to address their inherent intermittency. Latent heat thermal energy storage is one such solution, acting as a buffer be...

Los hongos son fuente de alimento y medicina desde tiempos remotos. Por su valor nutracéutico y como fuente de nutricéuticos se han utilizado para mantener y mejorar la salud, preservar la juventud y promover la longev...

Designing complex, dynamic yet multi-functional materials and devices is challenging because the design spaces for these materials have numerous interdependent and often conflicting constraints. Taking inspiration from a...

This is the first comprehensive introduction to Support Vector Machines (SVMs), a generation learning system based on recent advances in statistical learning theory. SVMs deliver state-of-the-art performance in real-worl...
