In article number 2100580, Bertrand Lenoir and co-workers demonstrate the fabrication of high-power-density thermoelectric generators in which skutterudites act as active materials. Using a nonconventional design legs that enables strong reduction volume integrated, record-breaking power densities ranging between 2.8 7.6 W cm−2 for temperature differences varying from 450 to 630 K are achieved.

Using computer simulations, we investigate the phase behavior of hard-core spherocylinders with a length-to-diameter ratio $L/\ensuremath{\sigma}=5$ and coated by soft deformable corona length $\ensuremath{\lambda}/\ensuremath{\sigma}=1.35$. When quasi-two-dimensional layers are formed in smectic solid phases at low temperatures, competition between two intrinsic scales parallel aligned particl...

The nonconventional yeast Yarrowia lipolytica has been developed as a versatile and attractive tool for a large variety of biotechnological applications. This yeast has several physiological properties with industrial significance. Y. lipolytica uses hydrophobic substrates such as n-alkanes, oils, fats, and fatty acids as low-cost carbon sources. The yeast is able to produce a set of diverse ad...

We obtain functional central limit theorems for both discrete time expressions of the form 1/ √ N [Nt] n=1 `
