The effects of the combined utilization wavy wall and different nanoparticle shapes in heat transfer fluid for a thermoelectric generator (TEG) mounted vented cavity are numerically analyzed. A triangular wave form is used, while spherical cylindrical-shaped alumina nanoparticles used water up to loading amount 0.03 as solid volume fraction. impacts amplitude on flow output power features signi...

In 1993, researchers at Toyota Central R&D reported that 5 wt % of an exfoliated clay could double the roomtemperature modulus of nylon-6, a semicrystalline engineering plastic, and raise its heat distortion temperature by more than 80 °Call without sacrificing toughness. That work stimulated a worldwide effort to synthesize and study polymer–matrix nanocompositesand it also highlighted the i...

We demonstrate the measurement of nanoparticle anisotropy by angularly resolved Rayleigh scattering single optical levitated particles that are oriented in space via trapping light vacuum. This technique is applied to a range particle geometries from perfect spherical nanodroplets octahedral nanocrystals. show this method can resolve shape differences down few nanometers and be both low-damping...

Creation of correlated photon pairs is one the key topics in contemporary quantum optics. Here, we theoretically describe generation process spontaneous parametric down-conversion a resonant spherical nanoparticle made dielectric material with bulk $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearity. We pick size that satisfies condition eigenmodes described by Mie theory. reveal highly directional photon-pair can be ob...

Early diagnosis of cartilage disease at a time when changes are limited to depletion of extracellular matrix components represents an important diagnostic target to reduce patient morbidity. This report is to present proof of concept for nanoparticle dependent cartilage barrier imaging in a large animal model including the use of clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conditioned (following...

Abstract Perovskite solar cells continue to attract interest due their facile preparation and high power conversion efficiencies. However, the highest efficiency perovskite inevitably contain lead, which raises concerns over contamination of drinking water when a module is broken then flooded. We previously showed that conventional synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles could capture some...
