A Dusty Road for Astronauts
The lunar dust problem was first formulated in 1969 with NASA's first successful mission to land a human being on the surface of the Moon. Subsequent Apollo missions failed to keep the dust at bay, so exposure to the dust was unavoidable. In 1972, Harrison Schmitt suffered a brief sneezing attack, red eyes, an itchy throat, and congested sinuses in...
Benchmarking First-Principles Reaction Equilibrium Composition Prediction
The availability of thermochemical properties allows for the prediction of the equilibrium compositions of chemical reactions. The accurate prediction of these can be crucial for the design of new chemical synthesis routes. However, for new processes, these data are generally not completely available. A solution is the use of thermochemistry calcul...
H2 Plasma and PMA Effects on PEALD-Al2O3 Films with Different O2 Plasma Exposure Times for CIS Passivation Layers
In this study, the electrical properties of Al2O3 film were analyzed and optimized to improve the properties of the passivation layer of CMOS image sensors (CISs). During Al2O3 deposition processing, the O2 plasma exposure time was adjusted, and H2 plasma treatment as well as post-metallization annealing (PMA) were performed as posttreatments. The ...
Understanding the hydroxyl adsorption behavior at Pt electrode surface in high-temperature alkaline solutions
Since the application in fuel cell, the electrochemical adsorption of hydroxyl has received considerable attention in recent years. While most research mainly focus on the room temperature, in this paper, the electrochemical adsorption of hydroxyl in alkaline solution at high temperature was investigated. An unusual oxidation peak was observed at -...

Electron-enhanced high power impulse magnetron sputtering with a multilevel high power supply: Application to Ar/Cr plas...
A high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) power supply, called e-HiPIMS, has been developed and used to deposit chromium thin films within an argon discharge. This power supply comprises three stages; each can deliver a voltage pulse up to 300 V. The advantage of this power supply is the possibility of tailoring a pulse waveform on the cat...
Effect of Growth Temperature and Atmosphere Exposure Time on Impurity Incorporation in Sputtered Mg, Al, and Ca Thin Fil...
Impurities can be incorporated during thin film deposition, but also can originate from atmosphere exposure. As impurities can strongly affect the composition—structure—property relations in magnetron sputter deposited thin films, it is important to distinguish between both incorporation channels. Therefore, the impurity incorporation by atmosphere...
Impact of environmental nitrogen pollution on pollen allergy : a scoping review
...
The current rise in the prevalence of allergies to aeroallergens is incompletely understood and attributed to interactions with environmental changes and lifestyle changes. Environmental nitrogen pollution might be a potential driver of this increasing prevalence. While the ecological impact of excessive nitrogen pollution has been widely studied a...
