Central Acceptance Testing for Camera Technologies for CTA

open access: yes, 2015
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is an international initiative to build the next generation ground based very-high energy gamma-ray observatory. It will consist of telescopes of three different sizes, employing several different technologies for the ...

Thermalizing a telescope in Antarctica: Analysis of ASTEP observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The installation and operation of a telescope in Antarctica represent particular challenges, in particular the requirement to operate at extremely cold temperatures, to cope with rapid temperature fluctuations and to prevent frosting.

Polymorph‐Specific Electronic Transduction in WO3 during Molecular Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Metal‐oxide polymorphs with similar surface chemistry can nevertheless exhibit distinct sensing properties. In γ‐ and ε‐WO3, analyte adsorption appears comparable; yet, only ε‐WO3 induces a pronounced lattice electronic perturbation that accommodates charge in sub‐conduction band minimum states.

Controlling Frost Propagation on Polymeric Surfaces Using SI‐ATRP Chemical Micropatterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces
Micropatterned surfaces with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions are relevant for a wide range of applications from fuel cells to water harvesting systems. The preferential nucleation of water on hydrophilic regions can also be used to control frost

De Rerum Natura: How Do Halide Perovskites Self‐Heal From Damage?

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
How can lead‐halide‐perovskites self‐heal after damage from light, heat, mechanical strain, or radiation? We show that reversible chemical defects underly performance losses and recovery, highlighting the roles of halide and proton migration, redox‐driven reactions, and acid‐base equilibria.

Ice crystallization during cold-start of a proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Under subfreezing conditions, ice forms in the gas-diffusion (GDL) and catalyst layers (CL) of proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), drastically reducing cell performance.

Two‐Photon 3D Printing of Functional Microstructures Inside Living Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates 3D printing inside living cells by using two‐photon photo‐lithography. A bio‐compatible photoresist is injected into cells and selectively polymerized with a femtosecond laser, creating custom‐shaped intracellular structures with submicron resolution.

Experimental Research on a Novel Frost-Free Air-Source Heat Pump Water Heater System

open access: yesZhileng xuebao, 2015
Aiming to the frosting problem of air-source heat pump (ASHP) at low temperatures, a novel frost-free air-source heat pump water heater (ASHPWH) system is proposed in the paper, in which dehumidification of solid desiccant is used to reduce the humidity ...
