In this paper, we present the first realisation and experimentation of a new eye tracking system using an infrared (iR) laser pointer embedded into a wireless smart contact lens. We denote this contact lens prototype as the cyclops lens, in reference to the famous hero of the X-Men comics. The full eye tracker device combines the smart contact lens...

This paper reports a novel eutectoid nano-lamellar (FCC + L12)/(BCC + B2) microstructure that has been discovered in a relatively simple Al0.3CoFeNi high entropy alloy (HEA) or complex concentrated alloy (CCA). This novel eutectoid nano-lamellar microstructure presumably results from the complex interplay between Al-mediated lattice distortion (due...

The study is aimed at investigating the radiative properties of soot aggregates at determined morphological features using both experimental and numerical methods. Soot aggregates collected from air monitoring stations in different locations were examined. The locations were divided into three groups. The first group (Case 1) included the coastal a...

Demands for chemical-free treatments for controlling insect pests are increasing worldwide. One such treatment is microwave heating; however, two critical issues arise when using microwaves as a heat source: intensive labor and excessive energy-consumption. Optimization is thus required to reduce energy consumption while effectively killing insects...

The exploration of microstructures in high temperature alloy melts is important for manufacturing of metallic components but extremely challenging. Here, we report experimental evidence of the disruption of Si-rich microstructure in engineering-lightweight Al–12.2at.%Si alloy melt at 1100 °C, via melt-spinning (MS) of Al1−xSix (x = 0.03,0.07,0.122,...

Applications of electrochemical detection methods in microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) has revolutionized the area of point-of-care (POC) testing towards highly sensitive and selective quantification of various (bio)chemical analytes in a miniaturized, low-coat, rapid, and user-friendly manner. Shortly after the initiation, these ...

© 2020 Elsevier B.V. Reliable estimations of the relative permeability of gas and water in hydrate-bearing sediments (HBS) and the dependency of the relative permeability on hydrate saturation are critical to predict the productivity of a hydrate reservoir. Yet, this remains poorly estimated owing to lack of experimental data associated with diffic...
In this study, NO2 adsorption on Pt/Ba/Al2O3 was investigated. Results show that NO2 adsorption on fresh samples quickly begins to penetrate due to the NO slip. However, after several adsorption-regeneration cycles by NH3, the NO slip significantly decreased and the NO2 adsorption amount apparently increased from 2.59 mg/g to about 47 mg/g at 90% a...
