Many offshore wind-power generators over MW-class are currently in operation in Europe and are now starting to be used in Japan. In order to develop large-scale offshore wind-power plants, we need to reduce the size and weight of power converters, including isolating transformers. A dc-dc converter with a high-frequen…

The mechanical behavior of SWCNTs is characterized using an atomistic-based continuum method. At nanoscale, interatomic energy among carbon atoms and the corresponding force constants are defined. Subsequently, we used an atomistic finite element analysis to calculate the energy stored in the SWCNT model, which forms…

Chemical grafting of small molecule reagents onto polymeric fibrous materials, like paper, has been used to modify their wetting properties. Several reagents like trichlorosilanes, which can react with water or hydroxyls, have been used with the expectation that a monolayer, single molecule or polymerized single-molec…

The ability of SrFBr nanocrystals codoped with ∼1 mol% of Er <sup>3+</sup> and Yb <sup>3+</sup> to perform infrared-to-visible light upconversion is demonstrated. Excitation of Yb <sup>3+</sup> at 980 nm results in two-photon upconversion and green-yellow luminescence from Er <sup>3+</sup> , highlighting the potential…

Design, synthesis and single-crystal conformations of hybrid triple-stranded β-sheets composed of E-vinylogous residues are reported. Restricting conformational flexibility of β-strands through the insertion of carbon-carbon double bonds at facing positions leads to increased peptide crystallinity, which allowed unamb…
