Shaped Laser Pulses for Microsecond Time-Resolved Cryo-EM: Outrunning Crystallization during Flash Melting
Marcel Drabbels, Constantin Richard Krüger, Nathan Junior Mowry
Water vitrifies if cooled at rates above 3 × 105 K/s. In contrast, when the resulting amorphous ice is flash heated, crystallization occurs even at a more than 10 times higher heating rate, as we have recently shown. This may present an issue for microseco ...
2024Performance gap in the building sector and its impact on investment decisions for heating requirements
Between the ideal and reality lies the decisive world of the performance gap. This project is conducted within the framework of a Master Thesis at the Industrial Processes and Energy Systems Engineering (IPESE) laboratory of Ecole Polytechnique F´ed´erale ...
2024Decomposition method to evaluate district heating/cooling network potential at urban scale
François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Ana Catarina Gouveia Braz, Bingqian Liu, Raphaël Briguet
In this work, a tool to design district heating networks (DHN) is presented and applied to the city of Lausanne as a case study. The evaluation of the buildings’ heat/cooling demand is performed using a Geographic Information System (GIS) database, built f ...
Associazione Italiana Di Ingegneria Chimica2024Experiments and gyrokinetic simulations of TCV plasmas with negative triangularity in view of DTT operations
Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Justin Richard Ball, Alberto Mariani, Matteo Vallar, Filippo Bagnato
Negative triangularity (NT) scenarios in TCV have been compared to positive triangularity (PT) scenarios using the same plasma shapes foreseen for divertor tokamak test tokamak operations. The experiments provided a NT/PT L-mode pair and a PT H-mode with d ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2024FLO:RE – A new floor system made of reused reinforced concrete and steel elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Numa Joy Bertola, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer
Carefully extracting reinforced concrete (RC) elements from soon-to-be demolished structures and reusing them as load-bearing components is an emerging circular low-carbon alternative to building new structures. As floor construction typically accounts for ...
IABSE2024Transparent structured conductive coating for applications in smart windows.
Solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth for a period of one hour contains more energy than that consumed by mankind over an entire year. Some of this solar energy is already collected by photovoltaic cells to cover the electricity needs of buildi ...
EPFL2023Light-Driven Thermo-Optical Effects in Nanoresonator Arrays
Giulia Tagliabue, Ershad Mohammadi, Theodoros Tsoulos, Alfredo Angelo Luigi Naef
Thermonanophotonics, that is the study of photothermal effects in optical nanoantennas, has recently attracted growing interest. In particular, going beyond thermoplasmonic designs, thermo-optical modulation of dielectric nanoantennas opens new opportuniti ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2023Nanoscale thermal control of a single living cell enabled by diamond heater-thermometer
Aleksandra Radenovic, Evgenii Glushkov
We report a new approach to controllable thermal stimulation of a single living cell and its compartments. The technique is based on the use of a single polycrystalline diamond particle containing silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers. Due to the presence of ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Downscale methodology: EUCalc to CityCalc
The report describes the implementation of the procedure in EUCalc (KNIME) to develop SwissCalc, ParisCalc and LausanneCalc. The goal is to downscale levers already in EUCalc like biophysical calorie demand per person, daily calories of food wasted and the ...
Zenodo2023Design of New Low-Carbon Floor Systems by Reusing Cut Cast-in-Place Concrete Pieces
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Numa Joy Bertola, Célia Marine Küpfer
As floors typically account for the largest share of a building embodied carbon footprint, new strategies to build low-carbon floors must be developed and implemented. Among these strategies, the reuse of existing components is a promising circular approac ...
