Stable water isotopes are natural tracers allowing to reconstruct the history of a water parcel. They are used as climate proxies and to better understand the hydrological cycle. The snow isotopic composition is directly influenced by temperatures and atmo ...
Global anthropogenic and legacy mercury (Hg) emissions are the main sources of Arctic Hg contamination, primarily transported there via the atmosphere. This review summarizes the state of knowledge of the global anthropogenic sources of Hg emissions, and e ...
Single-molecule imaging methods are of importance in structural biology, and specifically in the imaging of proteins, since they can elucidate conformational variability and structural changes that might be lost in imaging methods relying on averaging proc ...
A turbidity current is a turbulent, particle-laden gravity current that is driven by density differences resulting from the presence of suspended sediment particles. The current travels downslope, bearing a large amount of sediment over a great distance, a ...
Nanoporous single-layer graphene (N-SLG) membranes, owing to their single-atom thinness, have the potential to exceed the permeance and selectivity limits of gas separation membranes. However, two key issues in the top-down N-SLG synthesis need to be addre ...
As part of a project that aims to provide people with disabilities with simple assistive devices in Colombia, the possibility of creating a PET filament that can be printed by Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) from beverage bottle waste was investigated, wi ...
The objective of this PhD thesis is the development of a microfluidic platform for the real-time measurements of the mechanical properties of biological analytes at the single entity level.The systems developed for these purposes consist of piezoelectrical ...
Due to their strong acceptor properties and enhanced charge transport capabilities, non-fullerene electron acceptors based on pi-extended derivatives - subnaphthalocyanines (SubNc) or subphtalocyanine dimers (SubPc(2)) - have been employed in organic photo ...
The developed world is built on the fact that energy is readily available and functionally infinite. The electricity from the wall, the gas at the station, and the heat in our homes are reliable and low-cost. But this comfort is so far only possible throug ...
The work demonstrated in this thesis represent the path towards developing the large-scale fabrication of two-dimensional nanoporous membrane devices and use thereof as platforms to study nanoscale physics of water and ion flow through confined channels. M ...
