Magnetic skyrmions have the potential to provide solutions for low-power, high-density data storage and processing. One of the major challenges in developing skyrmion-based devices is the skyrmions' magnetic stability in confined helimagnetic nanostructures. Through a systematic study of equilibrium states, using a fu…

CSB (US Chemical Safety Board) identified 281 combustible dust incidents between 1980 and 2005 that killed 119 workers, injured 718 others and damaged several industrial facilities. These incidents occurred in 44 states, many different industries and involved a variety of different materials. Seven of the incidents, w…

We report on the manufacturing of nanopore through-holes by heating gold nanoparticles on a silicon oxide (SiO2) sheet, suspended in a silicon-rich nitride membrane (SiRN). Membrane patterning is performed using self-alignment by an internal shadow mask based process. A benefit of this approach is the ease at which do…

We conduct thermal investigation of mid IR coupled mode on the platform of a highly dense plasmonic nanostructure. The multi-physics study is consist of broadband Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy interfaced with an adiabatic system for heat flow control. A hybridized mode is excited by leveraging the vib…

Over the last decade a number of peptides that are rapidly internalized by mammalian cells have been discovered or designed. Cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) are capable of mediating penetration of the plasma membrane, allowing delivery of macromolecular cargoes to the cell interior. We have developed a novel CPP‐adap…

Electrodeposition on aluminium alloy substrates often is often difficult in producing a coating with good adhesion when compared to other metals. This is due to the rapid formation of oxide layers on the substrate’s surface when exposed to air and water, preventing metallic bonds from forming between the nickel coatin…
