Silicone oil–based ferrofluid microrobots for versatile magnetic digital microfluidics

open access: yesDroplet, EarlyView.
A magneto‐silicobotic system is a magnetic digital microfluidic platform that employs a silicone oil–based ferrofluid droplet as a chemically and biologically inert microrobot for the versatile manipulation of droplets and solid particles. Abstract Magnetic digital microfluidics offers a promising alternative to the dominant electrowetting‐based ...

Performance assessment of a potential underground thermal storage facility: Case study of the closed mine Prosper‐Haniel in the Ruhr coal mining area in Germany

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the feasibility of an underground closed‐loop thermal storage facility at a post‐mining site, intended for seasonal heat energy storage. Its principal design shows water flow directions in winter and summer (1, 2), heat pumps (3), an upper water reservoir (4), and connecting pipes (5).

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

The Power to Care for Oneself: Power Increases Self‐Compassion

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sense of power and self‐compassion both impact important intrapsychic and interpersonal outcomes. However, how powerholders treat themselves when experiencing failure or personal setbacks is unclear. We propose that powerholders are more apt than their lower‐power counterparts to exhibit self‐compassion when faced with difficulties. Across six

A study of chevron type plate design on pressure drop and friction factor of brazed plate heat exchanger

open access: yesEnvironmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Brazed plate heat exchanger (BPHE) was analyzed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations by ANSYS Fluent to investigate the chevron‐patterned plates. The influence of geometric parameters, including corrugation pitch, depth, and angle was analyzed.
