Topological phase transitions driven by strain in monolayer tellurium

Two-dimensional (2D) Xenes of a single type of element can offer fascinating electronic properties, such as massless Dirac fermions for extremely high charge-carrier mobility and topological insulators for dissipationless electron transport. However, the r ...

Modelling of C/Cl isotopic behaviour during chloroethene biotic reductive dechlorination: Capabilities and limitations of simplified and comprehensive models

Julien Maillard, David Hunkeler

Predicting the fate of chloroethenes in groundwater is essential when evaluating remediation strategies. Such predictions are expected to be more accurate when incorporating isotopic parameters. Although secondary chlorine isotope effects have been observe ...

“Pocket-Monitoring” for the fatigue safety verification of bridge members in steel and reinforced concrete

Eugen Brühwiler

The fatigue safety of the reinforced concrete deck slab of a sixty-year-old steel-concrete road viaduct as well as the riveted steel girders of a 130 year old railway bridge was questioned based on the results of conventional assessment consisting in "re-c ...

Modulation of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast - based model organism

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli

The main aim of this study was to assess conditions at which simple yeast-based model organism produces maximal levels of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after an exogenous administration of its precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and the ferrous-ion chelator ...

Femtosecond laser assisted 3-dimensional freeform fabrication of metal microstructures in fused silica

Andreas Mortensen, Yves Bellouard, Raphaël Charvet, Fatmah Ebrahim, Cyril Dénéréaz

Femtosecond laser exposure of fused silica combined with chemical etching has opened up new opportunities for three-dimensional freeform processing of micro-structures that can form complex micro-devices of silica, integrating optical, mechanical and/or fl ...

Analysis and Removal of Product Gas Contaminants Present in Gasification Processes

Sven Philip Edinger

Energy demand and economic development are intrinsically linked. Earlier economic development came at the price of serious environmental pollution, posing a risk to life on earth. Thus, a transition from fossil to renewable energy is needed. Among the rene ...

Composition of the low seismic velocity E ′ layer at the top of Earth's core

James Badro

Using ab initio simulations on Fe-Ni-S-C-O-Si liquids, we constrain the origin and composition of the low-velocity layer E′ at the top of Earth's outer core. We find that increasing the concentration of any light element always increases velocity and so a ...

On the necessity of improving the environmental impacts of furniture and appliances in net-zero energy buildings

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Endrit Hoxha

There is now clear evidence regarding the extensive use of furniture and appliances in daily human life, but there is less evidence of their impact on the environment. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this study focuses on an assessment of the environm ...
