Highly skewed current-phase relation in superconductor-topological insulator-superconductor Josephson junctions

, 2019
Three-dimensional topological insulators (TI's) in proximity with superconductors are expected to exhibit exotic phenomena such as topological superconductivity (TSC) and Majorana bound states (MBS), which may have applications in topological quantum ...

Recent advancements in ballistic protection - a review

Journal of Student Research
This research review paper describes the historical evolution of protective armor and then delves into current methods of producing effective ballistic protection. It investigates the potential of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites, such as kenaf and ramie. Then, it discusses the exploration of 3D printed body armor, which can take on tailored
