Unique corrosion behavior of an archaeological Roman iron ring: Microchemical characterization and thermodynamic considerations
Stefano Mischler, Laura Brambilla
The corrosion mechanisms of a Roman iron bezel ring were investigated by in-depth characterization of its uncommon corrosion pattern and thermodynamic modelling. A silver foil and altered glass remnants were identified, covered with thick strata of magneti ...
2024Computational 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 ...
Aip Publishing2024Spinel Protective Coatings for Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) Interconnects (ICs)
AbstractThe degradation of metal interconnects (ICs) in Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs) primarily results from chromium (Cr) oxide scale growth on stainless-steel substrates, causing ohmic loss and air-side electrode poisoning by Cr. This thesis addresses these c ...
EPFL2024Development of Hyphenated Analytical Techniques using spICP-MS for Online Characterization of Metallic Nanoparticles in Aerosols
The presence of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) in aerosols has raised concern about their fate in the environment through natural processes and anthropological activities. The state-of-the-art technologies for direct aerosol characterization cannot reach rea ...
EPFL2024Metal-insulator transition in composition-tuned nickel oxide films
Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Bernat Mundet, Jean-Marc Triscone
Thin films of the solid solution Nd1-xLaxNiO3 are grown in order to study the expected 0 K phase transitions at a specific composition. We experimentally map out the structural, electronic and magnetic properties as a function of x and a discontinuous, pos ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Individual and combined benefits of different nonequilibrium proofreading mechanisms
Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Stefano Zamuner, Adélaïde Alice Mohr
Genome duplication, transcription, and translation are among many crucial cellular processes that need to be performed with high fidelity. However, those extremely low error rates cannot be explained with simple equilibrium thermodynamic considerations. Th ...
College Pk2023Growth and investigation of Argon thin films adsorbed on graphite by means of Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
Starting from our big universe to the microscopic world, phase transitions play an important role in nature. Just after the Big Bang our universe experienced multiple phase transitions, from high-temperature plasma to the matter we know today.Phase transit ...
EPFL2023Optimal enzyme utilization suggests that concentrations and thermodynamics determine binding mechanisms and enzyme saturations
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Daniel Robert Weilandt, Asli Sahin
One of the main challenges hampering the development of kinetic models is the lack of kinetic parameters for many enzymatic reactions. Here, the authors introduce a framework to explore the catalytically optimal operating conditions of any complex enzyme m ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Understanding the growth mechanism of BaZrS3 chalcogenide perovskite thin films from sulfurized oxide precursors
Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Andrea Giunto, Santhanu Panikar Ramanandan, Mirjana Dimitrievska, Iléane Tiphaine Françoise Marie Lefevre
Barium zirconium sulfide (BaZrS3) is an earth-abundant and environmentally friendly chalcogenide perovskite with promising properties for various energy conversion applications. Recently, sulfurization of oxide precursors has been suggested as a viable sol ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Coordination of protein synthesis and degradation in mammalian cells
The cellular protein levels are determined by protein synthesis and turnover rates. Two processes are involved in the proteome's turnover in proliferating cells: protein degradation and dilution. In theory, maintaining the cellular proteome concentration, ...
