Stick-slip-to-stick transition of liquid oscillations in a U-shaped tube

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone

The nonlinear decay of oscillations of a liquid column in a U-shaped tube is investigated within the theoretical framework of the projection method formalized by Bongarzone et al. [Chaos 31, 123124 (2021)]. Starting from the full hydrodynamic system supple ...

How roughness emerges on natural and engineered surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Ramin Aghababaei

Roughness, defined as unevenness of material surfaces, plays an important role in determining how engineering components or natural objects interact with other bodies and their environment. The emergence of fractal roughness on natural and engineered surfa ...

Transparent Liquid Crystal Hole-Transporting Material for Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Hiroyuki Kanda, Jianxing Xia, Kasparas Rakstys

Hexakis(hexyloxy)triphenylene (HAT6) discotic liquid crystal is employed as a transparent hole-transporting material (HTM) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.7% is obtained, which is the highest using HAT6 type ...

Study of the enhanced electricity output of a sliding droplet-based triboelectric nanogenerator for droplet sensor design

Jürgen Brugger, Xia Liu, Wei Xu, Xiaopeng Li

Triboelectric nanogenerators are establishing themselves as promising candidates for realizing high-efficient energy harvesting from largely available droplets. However, the conventional droplet-based liquid-solid triboelectric nanogenerator (DLS-TENG) has ...

Wetting of nanopores probed with pressure

Aleksandra Radenovic, Andrey Chernev, Sanjin Marion, Michal Daniel Macha, Sebastian James Davis

Nanopores are both a tool to study single-molecule biophysics and nanoscale ion transport, but also a promising material for desalination or osmotic power generation. Understanding the physics underlying ion transport through nano-sized pores allows better ...

Charge transfer across C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds stabilizes oil droplets in water

Sylvie Roke, Saranya Pullanchery Sankara Narayanan, Sergey Kulik, Benjamin Rehl

The hydrophobic-water interface plays a key role in biological interactions. However, both the hydrophobic-water interfacial molecular structure and the origin of the negative zeta potential of hydrophobic droplets in water are heavily contested. We report ...
