Celebrating Soft Matter's 10th anniversary: Testing the foundations of classical entropy: colloid experiments
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015)
By performing experiments on colloids, one can establish that certain definitions of the classical entropy fit the data, while others in the literature do not.
Magnetostatic twists in room-temperature skyrmions explored by nitrogen-vacancy center spin texture reconstruction
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-07-13)
Magnetic skyrmions are two-dimensional non-collinear spin textures characterized by an integer topological number. Room-temperature skyrmions were recently found in magnetic multilayer stacks, where their stability was ...
India’s Potential for Integrating Solar and On- and Offshore Wind Power Into Its Energy System
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-21)
This paper considers options for a future Indian power economy in which renewables, wind and solar, could meet 80% of anticipated 2040 power demand supplanting the country’s current reliance on coal. Using a cost optimization ...
Formaldehyde (HCHO) As a Hazardous Air Pollutant: Mapping Surface Air Concentrations from Satellite and Inferring Cancer Risks in the United States
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-05-05)
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the most important carcinogen in outdoor air among the 187 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) identified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), not including ozone and particulate matter. ...
Extremely Stable Anthraquinone Negolytes Synthesized from Common Precursors
(Elsevier BV, 2020-06)
Synthetic cost and long-term stability remain two of the most challenging barriers for the utilization of redox-active organic molecules in redox flow batteries for grid scale energy storage. Starting from potentially ...
Semiarid climate and hyposaline lake on early Mars inferred from reconstructed water chemistry at Gale
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-25)
Salinity, pH, and redox states are fundamental properties that characterize natural waters. These properties of surface waters on early Mars reflect palaeoenvironments, and thus provide clues on the palaeoclimate and ...
Extending the Lifetime of Organic Flow Batteries via Redox State Management
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-04-26)
Redox flow batteries based on quinone-bearing aqueous electrolytes have emerged as promising systems for energy storage from intermittent renewable sources. The lifetime of these batteries is limited by quinone stability. ...
Homeostasis of protein and mRNA concentrations in growing cells
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-29)
Many experiments show that the numbers of mRNA and protein are proportional to the cell volume in growing cells. However, models of stochastic gene expression often assume constant transcription rate per gene and constant ...
A Long-Lifetime All-Organic Aqueous Flow Battery Utilizing TMAP-TEMPO Radical
(Elsevier BV, 2019-07)
The massive-scale integration of renewable electricity into the power grid is impeded by its intrinsic intermittency. The aqueous organic redox flow battery (AORFB) rises as a potential storage solution; however, the choice ...
Advanced sulfide solid electrolyte by core-shell structural design
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-10-02)
Solid electrolyte is critical to next-generation solid-state lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and improved safety. Sulfide solid electrolytes show some unique properties, such as the high ionic conductivity ...
