Fabricate Wavy Micro/Nano Fiber via Auxiliary Electrodes by Zhu, Ziming, Chen, Xindu, Zheng, Junwei, Liang, Feng, Li, Minghao, Wang, Han

“…Auxiliary electrodes were developed to control the morphology of the wavy fibers in this paper, when a 4 wt% Poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO) solution was electrospun at 1KV applied voltage in near-field electrospinning, and the collector at relatively low speed, AC current power supplied to auxiliary electrodes, and the amplitude of wavy was increased as increasing the AC current power voltage supplied to the auxiliary electrodes, and the frequencies of the wavy fibers was the same as the frequencies of the AC current power. …”

Bubble translation at low-frequency actuation in a resonator-shaped microfluidic chamber by Shang, Xiaopeng, Huang, Xiaoyang, Yang, Chun

“…The experimental results show that under the actuation at 1 kHz, the bubbles are observed to occur near the center of the chamber, grow up in size and then move upstream against the main flow. …”

Wave-induced longitudinal vortices in a shallow current by Huang, Zhenhua, Mei, Chiang C.

“…With a simple model of eddy viscosity the dimensionless shearing rate of the basic current is much weaker than the dimensionless velocity almost everywhere except near the bed. We shall show that in addition to the internal vortex force, a mean shear stress exists on the mean sea level, owing to nonlinear wave–current interactions, despite the absence of wind. …”

Migration of magnetic microparticles through a liquid–liquid interface under an external magnetic field by Mondal, S, Abbasi, N, Tsai, SSH, Griffiths, IM

“…In this work, we draw inspiration from the lack of studies on the behaviour of magnetic particles near a liquid–liquid interface under conditions of low Reynolds numbers and high capillary action, despite its engineering relevance in microfluidic systems. …”

Visualising human life in volumetric cities: city digital twins and other disasters by Rose, G

“…CDTs are three-dimensional, animated digital models of cities which display the big data generated by urban sensors in near-real-time. Most of the academic literature on CDTs consists of technical discussions of their design or implementation. …”

Electrochemical oxidation of C3 saturated alcohols on Co3O4 in alkaline by Sun, Shengnan, Sun, Libo, Xi, Shibo, Du, Yonghua, Anu Prathap, M.U., Wang, Zilong, Zhang, Qichun, Fisher, Adrian, Xu, Zhichuan Jason

“…The NMR analysis of the oxidized products showed that C-C bond cleavage occurred faster in alcohols having adjacent hydroxyl groups. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy study showed that there was no significant difference in Co oxidation state in the absence and the presence of glycerol. …”

Quantum Algorithm for Petz Recovery Channels and Pretty Good Measurements by Gilyén, András, Lloyd, Seth, Marvian, Iman, Quek, Yihui, Wilde, Mark M.

“…The pretty good measurement is a special case of the Petz recovery channel, and it allows for near-optimal state discrimination. A hurdle to the experimental realization of these vaunted theoretical tools is the lack of a systematic and efficient method to implement them. …”
