This paper describes a novel integrated circuit technology to manufacture high-density thermoelectric devices on a semiconductor wafer. With no moving parts, a thermoelectric cooler operates quietly, allows cooling below ambient…
Nanopores in solid state membranes are a tool able to probe nanofluidic phenomena or can act as a single molecular sensor. They also have diverse applications in filtration, desalination or osmotic power generation. Many of these…
Environmental licensing related to underwater acoustic emissions represents a critical bottleneck for the commercial deployment of marine renewable energy. This study presents a control engineering framework to mitigate acoustic risks from…
Light induced current in two-dimensional (2D) layered materials emerges from mechanisms such as photothermoelectric effect, photovoltaic effect or nonlocal hot carrier transport. Semiconducting layered transition metal dichalcogenides have…
We present the comparison of results from the generation and the measurement of direct currents in the pA range, performed with traceable state-of-the-art methods at highest accuracy. The currents were generated with the capacitor charging…
An ab-initio analysis based on coupled mode theory (CMT) is applied to describe the interaction dynamics of high dielectric resonators (DRs) with its containing aqueous solution. We prove that the coupling mechanism is reciprocal. Such…
We propose a new mechanism to generate a dc current of particles at zero bias based on a noble interplay between coherence and decoherence. We show that a dc current arises if the transport process in one direction is maintained coherent…
An increasing penetration of renewable energy resources, electric vehicle chargers, and energy storage systems into low-voltage power grids causes several power management and stability problems, such as reverse power flow, (local) overload…
The combined action of a DC bias and a microwave drive on the transport characteristic of a superconductor-quantum dot-superconductor junction is investigated. To cope with time dependent non-equilibrium effects and interactions in the…
We consider the generation of electric currents in the solar chromosphere where the ionization level is typically low. We show that ambient electrons become magnetized even for weak magnetic fields (30 G); that is, their gyrofrequency…
We investigated inductive power transfer (IPT) through a rectangular slab of saltwater. Our inductively-coupled transmitters and receivers were made from loop-gap resonators (LGRs) having resonant frequencies near 100 MHz. Electric fields…
A new empirical potential for efficient, large scale molecular dynamics simulation of water is presented. The HIPPO (Hydrogen-like Intermolecular Polarizable POtential) force field is based upon the model electron density of a hydrogen-like…
Superconducting diodes that support nonreciprocal supercurrent flow in principle constitute attractive, non-dissipative, circuit elements for superconducting electronics. But their realization faces fundamental challenges, as conventional…
The detection of apparent anomalous forces in the vicinity of high-Tc superconductors under non equilibrium conditions has stimulated an experimental research in which the operating parameters of the experiment have been pushed to values…
In hydrodynamics the existence of an entropy current with non-negative divergence is related to the existence of a time-independent solution in a static background. Recently there has been a proposal for how to construct an entropy current…
Active matter comprises self-driven units, such as bacteria and synthetic microswimmers, that can spontaneously form complex patterns and assemble into functional microdevices. These processes are possible thanks to the out-of-equilibrium…
Quantum batteries have recently emerged as promising candidates for microscopic energy-storage technologies exploiting uniquely quantum mechanical effects. In this work, we introduce the concept of a quantum capacitor, a quantum device…
The continuous scaling of semiconductor-based technologies to micron and sub-micron regimes has resulted in higher device density and lower power dissipation. Many physical phenomena such as self-heating or current leakage become…
A boundary between two d-wave superconductors or an s-wave and a d-wave superconductor generally breaks time-reversal symmetry and can generate spontaneous currents due to proximity effect. On the other hand, surfaces and interfaces in…
The drag of half-light half-mater quasiparticles, exciton-polaritons, by an electric current is a peculiar mechanism of light-matter interaction in solids. While an ideal superfluid is protected from being dragged by its zero viscosity,…
