This technology is an electronic active material that converts a voltage input to a mechanical force and mechanical displacement output. As compared to prior dielectric elastomer (DE) systems, the material has reduced electrode spacing, which lowers significantly the required operating voltage. In addition,
3D in vitro biomimetic platform development for synergistic studies
NASA Langley Research Center has developed a method and apparatus to be used for cell culture that combines the effects of microgravity and low dose radiation.
The monograph of M.G. Noppe
“Fundamentals of nonlinear theory for semiconductor lasers”
Annotation: The monograph presents the nonlinear theory of semiconductor injection lasers, which demonstrates that the gain, two-photon absorption and refraction index in Fabry-Perot semiconductor injection laser, as well as effective refractive index in distributed feedback lasers (DFB), are the functions of energy flux.
The global economy thrives on energy. Affordable energy directly contributes to increase productivity, reducing poverty and improving betterment of life. Global population is increasing day by day, which, in a way is leading to the utilization of natural resources and fossil fuels. Concentrating on the limited stock of fossil fuel,
