Particle physics increasingly lives at the edge of what a detector can see, and novel detector concepts that harness localised, enhanced electric fields offer one way to push that edge further out - provided the underlying geometry, electric field, and ionisation transport are understood ...

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) systems exploit the temperature difference between warm surface seawater and cold deep seawater to produce electricity or useful by-products. Because OTEC cycles operate with relatively small temperature differences, even minor heat gains in the ... Mehr lesen

Nuclear fusion offers the potential to provide a carbon-free, high-power, and sustainable energy source. Among the different fusion approaches, Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) relies on high-power laser beams irradiating a small spherical deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel capsule, inducing ... Mehr lesen

The generation of eruptible magma from long-lived, crystal-rich mush reservoirs is a central problem in volcanology. Many volcanoes erupt frequently from storage regions where the interstitial melt fraction sits below the eruptibility threshold of roughly 50 vol%, which implies that ... Mehr lesen

Laser ultrasonic testing (LUT) has emerged as a powerful non‑contact inspection technique capable of generating and detecting ultrasonic waves using laser energy. Unlike conventional ultrasonic methods that rely on physical transducers, LUT enables remote, high‑resolution measurements on ... Mehr lesen

This axisymmetric model describes mass loss and resultant thermoelectric drift in a platinum-rhodium thermocouple wire, in air, operating inside a narrow aluminium oxide (alumina) bore with one end at high temperature and the other end at 0 °C. The key physical mechanism considered is ... Mehr lesen

Pressure-gradient condenser microphone capsules are widely used in professional studio and live recording, where frequency response, directional behaviour, proximity effect, and diffuse-field performance must be balanced within a compact mechanical design. Compared with pressure ... Mehr lesen

Creating polymers with tunable permittivitt and loss tangent simultaneously requires precise control of the conductive filler microstructure through process optimization. Carbon coated SiO2 (C@SiO2) nanoparticles in an epoxy matrix represent a suitable system for this challenge. ... Mehr lesen
