Hand‐powered and programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric droplet actuation enabled by triboelectric nanogenerator and mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array

Droplet, EarlyView.
A hand‐powered and mechanically programmable electrowetting‐on‐dielectric platform is demonstrated by integrating a contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerator with a mechanically encoded punch‐card switch array. This unified mechanical–electrical architecture enables autonomous, portable, and robust droplet control for field‐deployable microfluidic

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

Deep 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).
