We investigate the spin angular momentum (SAM) of double-index cylindrical vector beams in tight focus. Such a set of beams is a generalization of the conventional cylindrical vector beams since the polarization order is different for the different t...

Since shaft parts operate under harsh environments for a long time, many critical parts suffer from corrosion, wear and other problems, leading to part failure and inability to continue in service. It is imperative to repair failed parts and increase...

A single-cell microarray (SCM) influenced by gravitational force is expected to be one of the simple methods in various fields such as DNA analysis and antibody production. After trapping the cells in the SCM chip, it is necessary to remove the liqui...

With increasing consumption of energy and increasing environmental pollution, research on capturing the vibration energy lost during transportation and vehicle driving is growing rapidly. There is a large amount of vibration energy in the automobile...

In this study, UV-curable resin was formed into different patterns through the programmable control of dielectric force. The dielectric force is mainly generated by the dielectric chip formed by the interdigitated electrodes. This study observed that...

The accumulation of separated out impurities from pipeline transported medium onto the pipe wall is a major cause of downtime maintenance of oil and gas production systems. To regularly scrub off wall-mounted debris and probe the severity, pipeline i...

Due to its unique structure, discoveries in nanoscale vacuum channel transistors (NVCTs) have demonstrated novel vacuum nanoelectronics. In this paper, the structural parameters of planar-type NVCTs were simulated, which illustrated the influence of...

Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are regarded as attractive pseudocapacitive materials due to their impressive capacitive qualities that may be adjustable to their morphological features. However, the layered structure of LDH renders them susceptible...

Resistors with memory (memristors), inductors with memory (meminductors) and capacitors with memory (memcapacitors) play different roles in novel computing architectures. We found that a coil with a magnetic core is an inductor with memory (meminduct...

This current study aims to enhance the electrostatic MEMS converter performance mainly by boosting its output power. Three different techniques are applied to accomplish such performance enhancement. Firstly, the power is boosted by scaling up the te...
