The orientation fluctuations of the director of a liquid crystal(LC) are measured after a quench near the Fr\'eedericksz transition, which is a second order transition driven by an electric field. We report experimental evidence that,…
Aims: We explore the long-term evolution of young protoplanetary disks with different approaches to computing the thermal structure determined by various cooling and heating processes in the disk and its surroundings. Methods: Numerical…
Arguably the most ubiquitous construction material in modern civilization, concrete is enabling the development of megacities around the globe together with increasing living standards in developing nations. However, it can be argued that…
Stellar evolution calculations to the stage of the cooling white dwarf were done for population~I stars with masses on the main sequence $1M_\odot\le M_0\le 1.5M_\odot$. The final helium flash LTP is shown to occur in post--AGB stars with…
One of the most widely used active materials for phase-change memories (PCM), the ternary stoichiometric compound Ge$_2$Sb$_2$Te$_5$ (GST), has a low crystallization temperature of around 150$^\circ$C. One solution to achieve higher…
Recent dynamic compression experiments [M. D. Knudson et al., Science 348, 1455 (2015); P. M. Celliers et al., Science 361, 677 (2018)] have observed the insulator-metal transition in dense liquid deuterium, but with an approximately 95 GPa…
Heating a solid sphere at the surface induces mechanical stresses inside the sphere. If a finite amount of heat is supplied, the stresses gradually disappear as temperature becomes homogeneous throughout the sphere. We show that before this…
This investigation explores the phononic thermal conductivity of nuclear star matter as it undergoes the "topological" transition to the "pasta" regime, and further down to the solid-liquid phase transition. The study was carried out using…
The experiment was conducted to synthesize carbon nanospheres of different sizes by controlling the temperature in polycondensation reaction of glucose under hydrothermal process. The surface morphology, structural, optical, and thermal…
Results of X-ray diffraction experiments on solid oxygen at low temperature and at pressures up to 10 GPa are presented.A careful sample preparation and annealing around 240 K allowed to obtain very good diffraction patterns in the…
We describe experiments with spin-polarized atomic hydrogen gas adsorbed on liquid $^{4}$He surface. The surface gas density is increased locally by thermal compression up to $5.5\times10^{12}$ cm$^{-2}$ at 110 mK. This corresponds to the…
Thermal decomposition behaviors of TiH2 powder under a flowing helium atmosphere and in a low vacuum condition have been studied by using in-situ EXAFS technique. By an EXAFS analysis containing the multiple scattering paths including H…
We report here on a new heat treatment to prepare both dense polycrystalline and single crystal MgB2 high quality samples in one single process. Resistivity measurements for polycrystalline part of the sample gives a residual resistivity…
Anti-icing coatings are intended to prevent ice formation on surfaces, minimising the risk of surface-related damage and also reducing ice-related hazards in society. $\mathrm{CeO}_{2}$ coatings are robust, hydrophobic, and transmit light,…
The oxidation of pure W and the sublimation of W oxide have been investigated to assess their impact on the lifecycle of a fusion power plant. Pure W has been oxidised at temperatures between 400 and 1050C and for durations ranging between…
A systematic study was performed to measure the effective thermal conductivity of ceramic particle beds, a promising heat transfer and thermal energy storage media for concentrating solar power (CSP). The thermal conductivity of the ceramic…
A method is presented for the evaluation of the permeability-porosity relationship in a low-permeability porous material using the results of a single transient test. This method accounts for both elastic and non-elastic deformations of the…
We report studies of solid helium contained inside a torsional oscillator, at temperatures between 1.07K and 1.87K. We grew single crystals inside the oscillator using commercially pure $^4$He and $^3$He-$^4$He mixtures containing 100 ppm…
Pellet manufacturing of biomass (food, feed, bioenergy) presses powders or particles into dense pellets with improved nutritional, calorific, and handling properties. This process upgrades industrial co-products from agriculture, forestry,…
We have investigated hadron screening masses, the chiral condensate, and the pion decay constant close to the deconfinement phase transition in the confined phase of QCD. The simulations were done in the quenched approximation, on a lattice…
