Cold cores are an early step of star formation, characterized by densities > 10$^4$ cm$^{-3}$, low temperatures (< 15 K), and very low external UV radiation. We investigate the physico-chemical processes at play to tracing the origin of…
Using first-principles density functional theory simulations, we have observed that the scandium decorated C$_{24}$ fullerene can adsorb up to six hydrogen molecules with an average adsorption energy of -0.35 eV per H$_2$ and average…
Thermal transport in complex solids is governed by local structure, defects, and anisotropy, yet most continuum models still rely on oversimplified, homogenized conductivities. Here, we bridge atomistic and continuum descriptions by…
The moisture absorption in granulated materials used in foundry technologies is analyzed. The absorption process has a diffusive behavior mainly. A simple experimental technique, in which the wet weight increment was recorded as the…
The thermal conductivity of a crystal is sensitive to the presence of surfaces and nanoscale defects. While this opens tremendous opportunities to tailor thermal conductivity, a true "phonon engineering" of nanocrystals for a specific…
As part of its HL-LHC upgrade program, CMS is developing a High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL) to replace the existing endcap calorimeters. The HGCAL will be realised as a sampling calorimeter, including an electromagnetic compartment…
We demonstrate assembly of solution processed semiconducting enriched (99%) single walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNT) in an array with varying linear density via ac-dielectrophoresis and investigate detailed electronic transport properties of…
Adequate characterization of two-dimensional materials with low energy barriers for impurity adsorption is key for advancing applications based on catalysis, sensing, and surface functionalization. However, first-principles methods, such as…
Lattice structures are increasingly used in various fields of application due to the steady growth of additive manufacturing technology. Depending on the type of lattice, these structures are more or less suitable for energy absorption due…
A silicon-based fine granularity calorimeter is a potential technology for the future International Linear Collider ILC, the future circular collider CEPC, and is also the chosen technology for the upgraded CMS experiment of the Large…
The photoacoustic method with piezoelectric detection for the simultaneous evaluation of the thermophysical properties is proposed. The approach is based on the settling of an additional heat sink for redistribution of heat fluxes deposited…
Atmospheric water harvesting is urgently needed given increasing global water scarcity. Current sorbent-based devices that cycle between water capture and release have low harvesting rates. We envision a radically different multi-material…
The neutron detection efficiency of a sampling calorimeter made of 1 mm diameter scintillating fibers embedded in a lead/bismuth structure has been measured at the neutron beam of the The Svedberg Laboratory at Uppsala. A significant…
A high granularity hadronic 1 m3 calorimeter prototype with semi-digital readout has been designed and built. This calorimeter has been made using stainless steel as absorber and Glass Resistive Plates Chambers (GRPC) as active medium, and…
We use the COMPLETE Survey's observations of the Perseus star-forming region to assess and intercompare three methods for measuring column density in molecular clouds: extinction mapping (NIR); thermal emission mapping (FIR); and mapping…
We studied physical properties of matter in 24,544 filaments ranging from 30 to 100 Mpc in length, identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We stacked the Comptonization y map produced by the Planck Collaboration around the…
Information and communication technologies account for a growing portion of global environmental impacts. While emerging technologies, such as emerging non-volatile memories (eNVM), offer a promising solution to energy efficient computing,…
In the context of developing a hadron calorimeter with extremely fine granularity for the application of Particle Flow Algorithms to the measurement of jet energies at a future lepton collider, we report on extensive tests of a small scale…
We test grip strength and shock absorption properties of various granular material in granular jamming robotic components. The granular material comprises a range of natural, manufactured, and 3D printed material encompassing a wide range…
Recent experiments demonstrate the synthesis of 2D black arsenic exhibits excellent electronic and transport properties for nanoscale device applications. Herein, we study by first principle calculations density functional theory together…
