Lithium-ion batteries in personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as laptops, smartphones, powerbanks and electronic cigarettes can pose a serious safety risk in air travel. Damaged or overheated ...

Abstract: The real-time implementation of a Centralized Energy Management System (CEMS) for a radial DC microgrid has been developed and demonstrated using the LabVIEW platform. The radial microgrid ...

The Powerline Conductor Accelerated Testing (PCAT) Facility evaluates the performance of novel overhead conductors in a real-world environment. Additionally, the facility evaluates advanced sensors ...

Perception in soft robotics is crucial to allow a safe interaction to effectively explore the environment. Despite the inherent capabilities of soft materials, embedding reliable sensing in soft ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. The surface morphologies of the porous PDMS dielectric layers ...

This work probes the binding kinetics of COOH-terminus of Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (c-CPE) and claudin expressing MCF-7 cells using force spectroscopy with optical tweezers. c-CPE is of ...

Aaron Thornton is a technical professional engineer in the building sciences section. He is a data acquisition and instrumentation engineer in the multifunctional equipment group. In this role, he ...

Single-molecule live-cell imaging can answer many biological questions, but a significant obstacle is photobleaching of the dye molecules by dissolved oxygen. An excellent way to improve ...

The growth of actin filament networks is a fundamental biological process that drives a variety of cellular and intracellular motions. During motility, eukaryotic cells and intracellular pathogens are ...

Our work shows that under an increasing load, actin-network growth is load-independent before stall. From force-reduction experiments, we find that the Fv relationship for a growing actin network ...
