Nearly total optical transmission of linearly polarized light through transparent electrode composed of GaSb monolithic high-contrast grating integrated with gold by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Wasiak, Michal, Zhang, Dao Hua, Fan, Weijun, Czyszanowski, Tomasz

“…Our numerical simulation shows 97% transmission of transverse magnetic polarized light and sheet resistance of 2.2 ωSq-1. The metalMHCG structure was realized via multiple nanopatterning and dry etching, with the largest transmission yet reported of ∼90% at a wavelength of 4.5 μm and above 75% transmission in the wavelength range from 4 to 10 μm and sheet resistance at the level of 26 ωSq-1. …”

Freezing behaviour of impact droplet on cooled super-hydrophilic mesh and silicon wafer by Chang, Chern Jie

“…A brief extension of the investigation is conducted on a novel pressed-mesh substrate (stainless steel mesh pressed into sheet aluminium) and it is shown that macro-scale mesh properties such as a higher open-area-ratio leads to lesser droplet spreading and more bubble entrapment on impact. …”

Microfluidic plasma extraction from blood using wash-free pneumatic system by Lin, Yun Jia

“…The flow stability of the system was evaluated and found to be satisfactory, with a standard deviation of 0.23, 18.80, and 0.02 for flow rate of outlet 1, outlet 2, and the separation efficiency of 50 nm beads (to mimic plasma), respectively. Hemacytometer results showed no cells in outlet 1 and PPP, indicating good cell depletion during the plasma extraction process using the pneumatic system. …”
