A wearable circulator‐like circularly polarised antenna for full‐duplex wireless body area network applications by Thakur, Ajeet, Sharma, Ashwani, Garcia Zuazola, Ignacio Julio

“…Since the total power at each respective port is maintained and not halved (−3 dB) with the measured port isolation of ~28 dB in real scenarios (with the potential evidence of ~34 dB) within the ISM band, that leads to a circulator‐like antenna, meaning that a typically cascaded circulator/duplexer can be relieved and leave to the digital processing any self‐interference challenge of full duplex systems through digital cancelation techniques, which alleviates the overall costs of RF hardware and eases integration. …”

Molecular Self‐Assembly Enables Tuning of Nanopores in Atomically Thin Graphene Membranes for Highly Selective Transport by Jang, Doojoon, Bakli, Chirodeep, Chakraborty, Suman, Karnik, Rohit

“…By selectively tightening the pore size distribution in this manner, self-assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes simultaneously introduced on opposite sides of nanoporous graphene membranes is demonstrated to discriminate between nanopores to seal non-selective transport channels, while minimally compromising smaller, water-selective pores, thereby remarkably attenuating solute leakage. …”

Desalination : discharging brine into coastal waters by Cher, Leo Wei Kwang.

“…Therefore, it is vital to find the techniques to enhance mixing of brine in the “allocated impact zone” thus preventing the spread of high salinity out of this region. In this study, investigations and experiments were done to examine the mixing characteristics of the discharge by changing the geometrical shape of the nozzle from a round (circle) to a square and their results were compared. …”
