Low-Cost Flexible Electronics Multiple generations of ultra-thin crystalline silicon nano/micro-membrane sheets with high areal density can be formed from a single <111> mother wafer using an unusual anisotropic etching technique, which utilized for various electronic applications in flexible devices. More details found article number 2302597 by Ki Jun Yu, John A. Rogers, and co-workers.

In the present paper, using a cathodic pin-to-solution electrical discharge electrolysis setup, interaction of the atmospheric air plasma with aqueous solution of copper nitrate and its possibility for synthesis of nano-materials is investigated. An AC (50 Hz) high-voltage power supply (5 kV) with rectified current is used for electrical discharge of the air between a metal pin and the solution...

the use of twb has been developed in automotive industries because of it’s advantages such as reduction in weight, cost and fuel economy of vehicles. the main objective of the peresent work is to study the effects of weld zone, diffrence in surface coating and thickness ratio on the formability of twb composed of aisi 304, spcc and if steel sheets. it was found that the narrow weld zone has lit...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...

The generation of micro- and nano-topography similar to those found in the extra cellular matrix of three-dimensional tissues is one technique used to recapitulate the cell-tissue physiology found in the native tissues. Despite the fact that ample studies have been conducted on the physiological significance of endothelial cells alignment parallel to shear stress, as this is the normal physiolo...

Split thickness skin graft (STSG) implantation is one of the standard therapies for full thickness wound repair when full thickness autologous skin grafts (FTG) or skin flap transplants are inapplicable. Combined transplantation of STSG with dermal substitute could enhance its therapeutic effects but the results remain unsatisfactory due to insufficient blood supply at early stages, which cause...

Meso/microforming has gained much more attention in the last decades and is widely used as a reliable method to fabricate meso/micro-scaled metallic components. In this research, compound meso/microforming system which combines deep drawing, punching, blanking operations was developed multiscale central-punched cups by using brass sheets. The parts with three scales were produced sheets various...

in this work, laser bending of perforated sheets has been investigated numerically. laser bending of perforated sheets is more complicated than non-perforated sheets due to their complex geometries. in this paper, laser bending of perforated sheets is studied numerically in the form of thermo-mechanical analysis with abaqus/implicit code. for this purpose, the effects of process and sheet param...
