Microbial hydrogen sinks in the sand-bentonite backfill material for the deep geological disposal of radioactive waste
Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Manon Frutschi, Nicolas Louis Maurice Jacquemin, Simiao Wang, Camille Aude Rolland, Niels Burzan, Aislinn Ann Boylan
The activity of subsurface microorganisms can be harnessed for engineering projects. For instance, the Swiss radioactive waste repository design can take advantage of indigenous microorganisms to tackle the issue of a hydrogen gas (H2) phase pressure build ...
2024Methods for high-throughput synthesis and screening of peptide libraries
Macrocycles provide an attractive modality for drug development but the identification of ligands to targets of interest is hindered by the lack of large macrocyclic compound libraries for high-throughput screening. A strategy to efficiently synthesize lar ...
EPFL2024Field-controlled multicritical behavior and emergent universality in fully frustrated quantum magnets
Phase transitions in condensed matter are a source of exotic emergent properties. We study the fully frustrated bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet to demonstrate that an applied magnetic field creates a previously unknown emergent criticality. The quantum ...
Berlin2024Computational Studies on the Stability of Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Halide Lead Perovskites
Perovskite-based solar cells are currently the most rapidly advancing photovoltaic technology but concerns about their long-term stability are still impeding full-scale commercialization. This thesis provides computational insights into some of the stabili ...
EPFL2024A Versatile Approach to Stabilize Liquid-Liquid Interfaces using Surfactant Self-Assembly
Stabilizing liquid-liquid interfaces, whether between miscible or immiscible liquids, is crucial for a wide range of applications, including energy storage, microreactors, and biomimetic structures. In this study, a versatile approach for stabilizing the w ...
Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh2024Filiform Variable Stiffness Technologies for Medical Robotics
In recent years, soft robotics has surged in applications like wearables, drones, smart fabrics, and medical instruments. Due to their compliance, these devices excel in tasks demanding dexterity and adaptability, such as manipulation, locomotion, crash re ...
EPFL2024Assessing the importance of nitric acid and ammonia for particle growth in the polluted boundary layer
Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Houssni Lamkaddam
Aerosols formed and grown by gas-to-particle processes are a major contributor to smog and haze in megacities, despite the competition between growth and loss rates. Rapid growth rates from ammonium nitrate formation have the potential to sustain particle ...
2024Probing structural and dynamic properties of MAPbCl3 hybrid perovskite using Mn2+ EPR
Michael Allan Hope, Yuxuan Zhang
Hybrid methylammonium (MA) lead halide perovskites have emerged as materials exhibiting excellent photovoltaic performance related to their rich structural and dynamic properties. Here, we use multifrequency (X-, Q-, and W-band) electron paramagnetic reson ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2024Ion Spectroscopy Reveals Structural Difference for Proteins Microhydrated by Retention and Condensation of Water
Protein ubiquitin in its +7 charge state microhydrated by 5 and 10 water molecules has been interrogated in the gas phase by cold ion UV/IR spectroscopy. The complexes were formed either by condensing water onto the unfolded bare proteins in a temperature- ...
Washington2024Computational fluid dynamics simulations of the heat transfer properties of graphene-based nanolubricants and application to hydrodynamic lubrication
In this paper, we consider experimental data available for graphene-based nanolubricants to evaluate their convective heat transfer performance by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Single-phase models with temperature-dependent prope ...
