[eng] Conventional 2D in vitro and animal models have been found inadequate to fully uncover the intricate mechanisms happening in the brain and its diseases. Engineering-based models emerge as promising alternatives to ...
[eng] The thesis Advanced Characterization of Interfaces of the Chalcogenide-Based Absorbers for the Thin Film Photovoltaic Technologies is based on six articles that are published in high impact factor peer-reviewed ...
Quantum computing is an emergent technology with prospects to solve problems nowadays intractable. For this purpose it is a requirement to build computers capable to store and control quantum systems without losing ...
[eng] Although the first LED dates to the middle of the 20th century, it has not been until the last decade that the market has been flooded with high efficiency and high durability LED solutions compared to previous ...
The development of sustainable energy sources with a high energy return on energy investment (EROI) that can substitute fossil fuels is a must in order to avoid the collapse of our current civilization. In this context, ...
The main purpose of this thesis is to study how we could obtain a transparent heating system for a Radome. In the context of this thesis, transparent have two different meanings that are tied due to the objective of our ...
[eng] This thesis focuses on RNA, one of the most versatile molecules in biological systems, and how intermolecular interactions with ions and proteins govern RNA folding. On its way to biological function, RNA transits a ...
Cobalt-based nanomaterials are an important class of electrocatalysts that own abundant and diverse d-orbital electronic structures, and can exhibit excellent HER, OER, EOR catalytic activity and stability in energy ...
[eng] Materials and thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) devices exhibit a high level of complexity, characterized by their multi scale, multi layer, and multi element structures, along with complex manufacturing processes. ...
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) are regarded as the most promising candidate to replace Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in next-generation energy storage systems. Compared with LIBs, LSBs are characterized by a sixfold higher ...
[eng] Due to the advances in the field of medical care, worldwide life span has increased over the past decades. This rise in longevity comes hand in hand with an increase in health expenditure as aging-associated diseases ...
The application of electron diffraction to crystallographically characterize all kinds of materials has experienced new developments that have attracted some attention in recent years. A large number of structural analyses ...
[eng] The field of medicine and life sciences faces a significant challenge due to the overwhelming influx of information and a rapidly increasing volume of data. Addressing this data abundance necessitates the integration ...
[eng] The aim of this thesis has been two-fold. First, to develop new processing and analysis tools and strategies for extracting information from EELS data, and second, to apply the methods to different nanoparticle systems ...
[eng] Additive manufacturing, also referred as 3D printing, is a layer-by-layer technique that allows producing three-dimensional objects directly from a digital model. It has enabled the fabrication of innovative products ...
The thesis reflects the research carried out on the development of truly self-powered devices. The development of devices for the scopes of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Point-of-Care devices (PoC) is shown. New ...
In some types of fire, namely, smoldering fires or involving polymers without flame, gases and volatiles appear before smoke is released. Most of the fatalities registered for fires, are caused due to the intoxication of ...
[eng] This thesis focuses on the functional design and preparation of different kind of nanocomposites and their applications in energy conversion and storage technologies, particular in OER, HER, H2O2ER and LSBs. For the ...
With the burning of large amounts of traditional fossil fuels, global environmental pollution is getting worse and worse, and energy crisis is becoming more serious for meeting human’s life demand. In ...
Hybrid bio-robotics is a discipline that aims at integrating biological entities with synthetic materials to incorporate features from biological systems that have been optimized through millions of years of evolution and ...
