Space-borne optical systems must be tolerant to radiation to guarantee that the required system performance is maintained during prolonged mission times. We show that the radiation hardness can be improved by selecting the relevant glass from a group of optical analogs. This conclusion is based on the study of gamma-r…

ABSTRACT Incorporating air bubbles into foods is a technical challenge, and in all cases, the fabrication of a foam goes through a “wet foam” stage, where bubbles are diluted in the food matrix and require stabilization. Sometimes, the end product is itself a wet foam, and a popular example is ice cream. This article…

Coating surfaces with a protective layer is a common method to protect artwork from deterioration. These layers consist often of organic substances such as acrylic resins. Due to weathering and ageing polymers usually suffer changes in optical properties and these organic coats also reduce the water-permeability of po…
