Hyperpolarized nuclear magnetic resonance and lab-on-a-chip microfluidics are two dynamic, but until recently quite distinct, fields of research. Recent developments in both areas increased their synergistic overlap. By microfluidic…
Thermoelectric devices are heat engines, which operate as generators or refrigerators using the conduction electrons as a working fluid. The thermoelectric heat-to-work conversion efficiency has always been typically quite low, but much…
The preceding Comment [1], previously posted as arXiv:2312.04495 [2], on our paper J. Supercond. Nov. Mag. 35, 3141 (2022) [3] provides a welcome opportunity to clarify what we understand to be pervading misconceptions by Eremets, Minkov…
