Many of the anomalous properties of water are amplified in the deeply supercooled region. Here we present neutron scattering measurements of the density of heavy water confined in a nanoporous silica matrix MCM-41-S (\approx15 {\AA} pore…
Shear thickening denotes the reversible increase in viscosity of a suspension of rigid particles under external shear. This ubiquitous phenomenon has been documented in a broad variety of multiphase particulate systems, while its…
This article reports a simple technique for measuring the concentration of silanol groups in a silanol-terminated polydimethylsiloxane fluid. That technique requires only a common drying agent and a Zeolite, can be completed in minutes, and…
Owing to their intrinsic (geometry dependent) radiation hardness, 3D pixel sensors are promising candidates for the innermost tracking layers of the forthcoming experiment upgrades at the Phase 2 High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). To this…
The ATLAS experiment will undergo a major upgrade of the tracker system in view of the high luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC) foreseen to start around 2025. Thin planar pixel modules are promising candidates to instrument the new pixel…
We have developed a hierarchical nano-porous layer (HNL) on a silicate glass by simple alkaline etching method. The HNL has a three-dimensionally-continuous sponge-like structure with a pore size of a few tens of nm at its apparent surface.…
A molecular dynamics simulation of water confined in a silica pore is performed in order to compare it with recent experimental results on water confined in porous Vycor glass at room temperature. A cylindrical pore of 40 A is created…
Many recent models consider the structure of individual interstellar medium (ISM) clouds as a way to explain observations of large parts of galaxies. To compare such models to observations, one must understand how to translate between…
We investigate confined shear thickening suspensions for which the sample thickness is comparable to the particle dimensions. Rheometry measurements are presented for densely packed suspensions of spheres and rods with aspect ratios 6 and…
Helium atom scattering (HAS) is a well established technique for examining the surface structure and dynamics of materials at atomic sized resolution. The HAS technique Helium spin-echo spectroscopy opens up the possibility of compressing…
Precise Soil Moisture (SM) assessment is essential in agriculture. By understanding the level of SM, we can improve yield irrigation scheduling which significantly impacts food production and other needs of the global population. The…
To probe the effects of hydrogel particle additives on the water-accessible pore structure of sandy soils, we introduce a custom pressure plate method in which the volume of water expelled from a wet granular packing is measured as a…
The calculation of thermodynamic properties of biochemical systems typically requires the use of resource-intensive molecular simulation methods. One example thereof is the thermodynamic profiling of hydration sites, i.e. high-probability…
We study the local and global roughness scaling in growth models with grains at the film surfaces. The local roughness, measured as a function of window size r, shows a crossover at a characteristic length r_c, from a rapid increase with…
There is a need for numerical models capable of predicting local accumulation of hydrogen near stress concentrators and crack tips to prevent and mitigate hydrogen assisted fracture in steels. The experimental characterisation of trapping…
Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations predict the physical state of baryons in the circumgalactic medium (CGM), which can be directly tested via quasar absorption line observations. We use high resolution "zoom-in" simulations of 21…
The shear viscosity of a Lennard-Jones fluid is obtained by stochastic dissipative molecular dynamics (SDMD) simulations. A generic constraint to the equations of motion is given that reduces the sensitivity of the shear viscosity to the…
Characterizing soil moisture (SM) around drip irrigation pipes is crucial for precise and optimized farming. Machine learning (ML) approaches are particularly suitable for this task as they can reduce uncertainties caused by soil conditions…
Templated porous materials, such as MCM-41, due to the uniformity of their onedimensional structure and scalability in synthesis, have emerged as an attractive medium for studying one-dimensional quantum fluids. However, the experimental…
Structural and optical studies have been performed on the thermally-evaporated "as-deposited" and "humid air aged" CsI thin films. The structural analysis for both "as-deposited" and "humid air aged" films shows a well-oriented peaks…
