Microgap thermophotovoltaic systems with low emission temperature and high electric output
, 2015 We theoretically show that a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system enhanced by a wire metamaterial opens the door to a prospective microgap thermophotovoltaics which will combine high electric output with relatively low temperatures of the emitter.

Exoplanets: Possible Biosignatures
, 2017 The ancestor philosophers' dream of thousands of new worlds is finally realised: about 3500 extrasolar planets have been discovered in the neighborhood of our Sun. Most of them are very different from those we used to know in our Solar System.

Shock wave initiation of the Ti5Si3 reaction in elemental powders [PDF]
, 1997 Elemental powder mixes were subjected to plane wave shock processing which reduced the initial porosity to essentially zero. Two powder mixes in a 5:3 Ti:Si atomic ratio were used: -325 mesh Ti and Si (
