Nano- and microparticles at fluid and biological interfaces
Systems with interfaces are abundant in both technological applications and biology. While a fluid interface separates two fluids, membranes separate the inside of vesicles from the outside, the interior of biological cells from the environment, and compartmentalize cells into organelles.

Photovoltaic Module Electrical Efficiency Enhancement Using Nano Fluids and Nano-Paraffin
Abstract Today, photovoltaic modules have become accepted by the public and scientists in the production of clean electricity and as a possible alternative to electricity produced from fossil fuels. These modules suffer from a deterioration in their electrical efficiency as a result of their high temperature.
