The distributed control system architecture strikes a balance between the decentralized control system architecture, where subsystem interactions are unaccounted for, and the computationally expensive centralized control ...

Self-sustained locomotion of synthetic droplet swimmers has been of great interest due to their ability to mimic the behavior of biological swimmers. Here we harness the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction to induce Marangoni ...

Hydrogels have long been developed for a plethora of applications such as soft electronics, energy storage, the development of actuators, sensors, and, most importantly, biomedical applications. The biomedical applications ...

Cationic helical peptides play a crucial role in applications such as anti-microbial and anticancer activity. The activity of these peptides directly correlates with their helicity. In this study, we have performed extensive ...

This study exploits higher-order micellar transition ranging from ellipsoidal to rodlike to wormlike induced by 1-octanol (C8OH) in an aqueous solution of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), characterizing phase behavior, ...

Grafting of spherical nanoparticles (NPs) with polymeric ligands has been an effective way in controlling the dispersion state of NPs either in the matrix or in solutions. Despite the fast evolving synthesis techniques, ...

Pharmaceutical tablet manufacturing has seen a paradigm shift toward continuous manufacturing and twin-screw granulation-based technologies have catalyzed this shift. Twin-screw granulator can simultaneously perform unit ...

Hydrogen is one of the cleanest, most favourable, and most practical energy transferors. However, its efficient generation, storage and transportation are still a challenge. There are various routes available toward greener ...

Fouling in heat exchangers is unavoidable and causes performance degradation; hence, occasional cleaning is essential. An effective cleaning strategy requires knowledge of foulants that can be obtained by laboratory tests. ...

Several two-dimensional (2D) materials are being actively explored as additives for enhancing CO2 capture owing to their high surface area, superior thermal stability, and extremely high density of catalytically active ...
