Some experiments in optical pumping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The work reported in this thesis consists of an investigation into three aspects of optical pumping in Helium. Optical pumping in He⁴ This work was initially directed towards repeating the observations of Colegrove and Franken (ref.

Multistage, Self‐Sensing Artificial Muscles With Coordination From Liquid Crystal Elastomer‐Graphene Composite Fibers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by skeletal muscles’ precision and endurance, CoilLCE integrates a self‐sensing liquid crystal elastomer/graphene artificial muscle with an embedded Joule‐heating copper coil, enabling closed‐loop multistage actuation with programmable intermediate states (strain accuracy of 2%), and antagonistic coordination (32% total strain). These features

Performance of a photothermal detector with turbid liquids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A closed-cell photothermal detector for aqueous analytes has been evaluated at 254nm and 678nm. The detector used a water meniscus as a pressure sensor, whose periodic deflection was measured using a low finesse optical fibre Fabry-Perot interferometer.

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Internal State Cooling of an Atom with Thermal Light

open access: yesEntropy
A near-minimal instance of optical cooling is experimentally presented, wherein the internal-state entropy of a single atom is reduced more than twofold by illuminating it with broadband, incoherent light.

Q-switched thulium-doped fibre laser operating at 1900 nm using multi-walled carbon nanotubes saturable absorber

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering, 2014
Simple, low-cost and stable passive Q-switched thulium-doped fibre lasers (TDFLs) operating at 1892.4 and 1910.8 nm are demonstrated using 802 and 1552 nm pumping schemes, respectively, in conjunction with a multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs ...

Anisotropic Phonon Dynamics and Directional Transport in Actinide Van der Waals Semiconductor Uranium Triselenide

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
USe3 is introduced as an actinide van der Waals semiconductor that mirrors the quasi‐one‐dimensional physics of transition‐metal trichalcogenides. Polarization‐resolved Raman spectroscopy on exfoliated flakes maps strong in‐plane phonon anisotropy and strain‐tunable mode shifts.

PIV measurements in an aerated tank stirred by a down- and up-pumping axial flow impeller [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Liquid phase hydrodynamics in an aerated tank stirred by a down- and an up-pumping pitched blade turbine have been investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry.

An Epigenetic Fate Converter Based on Nuclei‐Targeting Lipid Nanoparticles Drives Neuronal Programming of Stem Cells for Spinal Cord Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,
