Flash Melting Amorphous Ice

Marcel Drabbels, Ulrich Lorenz, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry, Gabriele Bongiovanni

Water can be vitrified if it is cooled at high rates, which makes it possible to outrun crystallization in so-called no man’s land, a range of deeply supercooled temperatures where water crystallizes rapidly. Here, we study the reverse process in pure wate ...

Between the ideal and reality lies the decisive world of the performance gap. This project is conducted within the framework of a Master Thesis at the Industrial Processes and Energy Systems Engineering (IPESE) laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique F´ed´erale ...

Shaped Laser Pulses for Microsecond Time-Resolved Cryo-EM: Outrunning Crystallization during Flash Melting

Marcel Drabbels, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry

Water vitrifies if cooled at rates above 3 × 105 K/s. In contrast, when the resulting amorphous ice is flash heated, crystallization occurs even at a more than 10 times higher heating rate, as we have recently shown. This may present an issue for microseco ...

Nanoscale thermal control of a single living cell enabled by diamond heater-thermometer

Aleksandra Radenovic, Evgenii Glushkov

We report a new approach to controllable thermal stimulation of a single living cell and its compartments. The technique is based on the use of a single polycrystalline diamond particle containing silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers. Due to the presence of ...

Impact of Standard versus Tracked-based User Behavior into Energy Simulations of Open-Space Offices

Dolaana Khovalyg, Verena Marie Barthelmes, Arnab Chatterjee

This simulation-based study aimed to contribute to gaining knowledge on how much the deviation between occupant-related input by the national standard and by insitu measurements might impact predictions of heating/cooling needs in offices. Analysis was per ...

Downscale methodology: EUCalc to CityCalc

Oleksandr Galychyn

The report describes the implementation of the procedure in EUCalc (KNIME) to develop SwissCalc, ParisCalc and LausanneCalc. The goal is to downscale levers already in EUCalc like biophysical calorie demand per person, daily calories of food wasted and the ...

Light-Driven Thermo-Optical Effects in Nanoresonator Arrays

Giulia Tagliabue, Alfredo Angelo Luigi Naef, Ershad Mohammadi, Theodoros Tsoulos

Thermonanophotonics, that is the study of photothermal effects in optical nanoantennas, has recently attracted growing interest. In particular, going beyond thermoplasmonic designs, thermo-optical modulation of dielectric nanoantennas opens new opportuniti ...

Strained crystalline nanomechanical resonators with quality factors above 10 billion

Tobias Kippenberg, Alberto Beccari, Nils Johan Engelsen, Sergey Fedorov

In strained mechanical resonators, the concurrence of tensile stress and geometric nonlinearity dramatically reduces dissipation. This phenomenon, called dissipation dilution, is employed in mirror suspensions of gravitational-wave interferometers and at t ...

NATURE PORTFOLIO2022

Following the Covid crisis and the war in Ukraine, the rise of fossil fuels prices demonstrates the insecurity of the supply in addition to the adverse impact it has on the environment. These crises could lead to a global shift in the strategy of building ...
