Dielectric nanotomography based on electrostatic force microscopy: A numerical analysis
Rene Fabregas, Gabriel Gomila
Electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) can image nanoscale objects buried below the surface. Here, we theoretically show that this capability can be used to obtain nanotomographic in…
Stronger when wet: Water-resistant chitinous objects via zero-waste coordination with metal ions
Akshayakumar Kompa, Javier G Fernandez
Plastics have become integral to our society due to their durability and water stability, which is achieved through strong intermolecular interactions. However, these properties al…
Active nematic pumps
Ignasi Vélez-Ceron, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Pau Guillamat +4
Microfluidics involves the manipulation of flows at the microscale, typically requiring external power sources to generate pressure gradients. Alternatively, harnessing flows from…
Controlling Colloidal Flow through a Microfluidic Y-junction
Alexander P. Antonov, Matthew Terkel, Fabian Jan Schwarzendahl +3
Microscopic particles flowing through narrow channels may accumulate near bifurcation points provoking flow reduction, clogging and ultimately chip breakage. Here we show that the…
Live magnetic observation of parahydrogen hyperpolarization dynamics
James Eills, Morgan W. Mitchell, Irene Marco Rius +1
Hyperpolarized nuclear spins in molecules exhibit high magnetization that is unachievable by classical polarization techniques, making them widely used as sensors in physics, chemi…
Robust Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization at High Concentrations
Laurynas Dagys, Martin C. Korzeczek, Anna J. Parker +7
Parahydrogen-Induced Polarization (PHIP) is a potent technique for generating target molecules with high nuclear spin polarization. The PHIP process involves a chemical reaction be…
