As the demand of information capacity grows, the adoption of optical technology will increase. The issue of resistance and capacitance is limiting the electronic transmission bandwidth while fiber optic delivers data at ...

This thesis presents a novel methodology for simulating solidification using fluid structure interactions coupled with the phase-field method while allowing for topology changes in the solid-liquid interface with non-stationary ...

Hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (PBG) offer the opportunity to suppress highly the optical absorption and nonlinearities of their constituent materials, which makes them viable candidates for transmitting high-peak ...

Silicon has long been used as an alloying element in various metal alloys, in engineered ceramics, and in the semiconductor industry. However, due to its intrinsic low fracture toughness, it is generally perceived as a ...

A business model was created in order to explore the commercial application of a bi-layer bone-ligament scaffold to the treatment of torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) requiring replacement. The two main keys in producing ...

A stamped nanoparticle array patterning technology integrating interference lithography, self assembly and soft lithography is assessed. This technology is capable of parallel patterning of nanoparticles at a large scale. ...
