Inductively coupled plasmas (ICP) are largely used as a convenient way to produce large ion currents in industrial applications and for particle accelerators and for the Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI) envisioned for tokamak heating (ITER project and beyond). Among specifications we have ... En savoir plus

A portable device that can identify protein and peptides real time in complex biological systems such as human bodily fluids reliably and accurately is in high demand to properly diagnose and treat medical conditions. Lynntech has developed an innovative Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based ... En savoir plus

Based on experimental data describing the Ca2+ dynamics over a time period of 5 s in non-stimulated T Cells obtained via high-resolution Ca2+ imaging, it was possible to identify the appearance of random spontaneous Ca2+ microdomains inside the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - Plasma ...

The ITER-ECE transmission lines consist of smooth-wall circular waveguides, including miter bends and other components. The performance of the TL is crucial to ensuring that the requirements for the diagnostic to measure the plasma parameters are met. COMSOL Multiphysics® has a finite ... En savoir plus

Plasmonics is a new branch of the fascinating field of photonics and develops concepts to quench light beyond the diffraction limit and enhance electromagnetic fields. These enhancements occur in metals as localized surface plasmon polaritons (LSP) a coupling of the surface density ... En savoir plus

Streamers are considered as main cause of electrical breakdown in air at atmospheric pressure. A streamer is an ionization wave propagating in neutral gas which is converted into low-temperature plasma behind its front. A streamer model is based on drift-diffusion approach where space ...

Background: TTFields are being investigated for treatment of brain metastasis. Although vasogenic edema is the most common type of associated cerebral edema, other forms of edema might arise within the brain due to prior treatment or other confounding effects. Therefore, we seek to ... En savoir plus

The aim of the proposed device is to overcome the typical drawbacks of MHD generators, such as the needed of a very high external magnetic field, the strong dependency of the efficiency by the temperature of the fluid, and the deterioration of the electrodes that are in contact with the ...

Extensive research efforts have been dedicated recently to developing and characterizing metamaterials that improve the performance of common thermoelectric materials and the electric contacts within a thermoelectric generator (TEG). With increasing demand for clean energy and climate ... En savoir plus

A study of an atmospheric pressure direct current microplasma discharge in He/N2 is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The calculation of heat transfer is fully coupled with the plasma simulation so as to resolve the gas heating in discharges. A simple circuit model is used to decide ... En savoir plus
