Background An efficient solution to the global freshwater dilemma is desalination. MXene,
Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS 2), Graphene Oxide, Hexagonal Boron Nitride, and …

The global demand for freshwater has intensified interest in desalination as a means to
mitigate water scarcity. Solar thermal desalination has emerged as a promising solution to …

Optical pressure measurement systems can precisely measure pressure from vacuum to
high pressure with a single apparatus. However, the continuously measurable range without …

Metals are the most widely used materials for orthopedics and dentistry due to their high
mechanical properties. However, for certain uses like fixation plates and screws, dental …

This paper presents the findings on the application of a vacuum on an open-source material
extrusion system to investigate the effect on the compressive strength and microstructure on …

Medical device infections have now become the major burden of healthcare, and particular
administration of combating bacterial infections is of significance. In this work, robust …

We describe the cold-atom vacuum standards (CAVS) under development at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The CAVS measures pressure in the ultra …

Biomaterial-based blood clot formation is one of the biggest drawbacks of blood-contacting
devices. To avoid blood clot formation, their surface must be tailored to increase …

Thin polymer films were deposited on polished stainless-steel samples by PECVD from a
cyclopropylamine precursor and characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy …

Etching residues of crystallized indium tin oxide (ITO) films deteriorate thin-film transistor
(TFT) characteristics and negatively affect the display images. The usability of active-matrix …
