(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Thermal management is a critical challenge for a variety of applications including integrated circuits (ICs) and energy conversion devices. As the heat fluxes exceed 100 W/cm2, novel cooling solutions need to be developed. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Solar power plants with surface receivers have low overall energy conversion efficiencies due to large emissive losses at high temperatures. Alternatively, volumetric receivers promise increased performance because solar ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This thesis focuses on characterizing and controlling the translocation of single 48.5 kbp [lambda]-DNA molecules through an artificial nanopore with the objective of enabling multiple measurements on the same molecule. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Introduction: Nanotechnology, in its many forms, has evolved as a forefront of the global scientific and technological frontier. Materials once disregarded as very small dust or particulate impurities twenty years ago, are ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)During the chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process, a critical step in the manufacture of ultra-large-scale integrated (ULSI) semiconductor devices, undesirable nano-scale scratches are formed on the surfaces being ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Thermoelectric materials have the ability to convert heat directly into electricity. This clean energy technology has advantages over other renewable technologies in that it requires no sunlight, has no moving parts, and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The theoretical calculations for near-field radiation heat transfer based on a local dielectric constant approach indicate that the heat transfer will go to infinity as the gap becomes very small. To correct this anomaly, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)A recent advancement in the area of needle-free injection systems has been the development of devices capable of epidermal delivery of powder medications. These devices use high-pressure compressed gas to accelerate drug ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Containership operators in the U.S. are confronted with a number of problems in the way they make critical fleet allocation decisions to meet the increase of shippers' demands. Instead of the empirical approach, this ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Rat neural stem cells (NSCs) were cultured in monolayer or in porous collagen scaffolds and exposed to neurogenic or non-neurogenic medium to determine the effects on neural differentiation and neurite growth. Nestin, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In the development of a powered ankle-foot prosthesis, it is desirable to provide the prosthesis with the ability to exhibit human-like dynamics. A simple method for achieving this goal involves trajectory tracking, where ...

A new coating method for semiconductor lithography : fluid layer overlap in extrusion-spin coating (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)The scope of this thesis is the development of a new numerical method to address the problem of nonlinear interactions of free-surface gravity waves. More specifically, this study addresses the case of wave interactions ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Access to drinking water is a growing issue and one of the key challenging of the twenty first century. The rapid depletion of current supply sources (aquifers, rivers, lake...) urges to find solutions, especially cost and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The problem of optimally distributing new products is common to many companies and industries. This thesis describes how this challenge was addressed at Zara, a leading retailer in the "fast fashion" industry. The thesis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis explores the application of open design to the process of developing physical products. Open design is a type of decentralized innovation that is derived from applying principles of open source software and ...
