Abstract The construction of self-powered micro-electro-mechanical units by converting the mechanical energy of the systems into electrical power has attracted much attention in recent years. While power harvesting from deterministic external excitations is state of the art, it has been much more difficult to derive m…

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Ionic liquids are a natural choice for supercapacitor electrolytes. However, their cost is currently high. In the present work, we report the use of ternary mixtures of sulfolane, 3-methyl sulfolane, and quaternary ammonium salts (quats) as low-cost alternatives. Sulf…

A continuous low-stress diamond film has been prepared on stainless steel by a novel two-step dropped power process using a Cr/CrN/CrTiAlN film as an interlayer. After the interlayer was deposited on the stainless steel, isolated diamond particles were firstly prepared under high power of 1800 W for 10 min in CVD, whi…

The problem of suppressing the scattering from conductive objects is addressed in terms of harmonic contrast reduction. A unique compact closed-form solution for a surface impedance Zs(m,  kr) is found in a straightforward manner and without any approximation as a function of the harmonic index m (scatte…

Herein, we combine several methods to characterize the fibrils formed by a TTR 105–115 mutant in which Leu111 is replaced by the unnatural amino acid aspartic acid 4-methyl ester. We find that this mutant peptide exhibits significantly different aggregation behavior than the wild-type peptide: (1) it forms fibrils wit…

X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), an extension of dynamic light scattering (DLS) in the X-ray regime, detects temporal intensity fluctuations of coherent speckles and provides scattering vector-dependent sample dynamics at length scales smaller than DLS. The penetrating power of X-rays enables probing dyna…
