Graphene‐Skinned Alumina Fiber: Continuously Scalable Fabrication and Its Electrothermal Application in Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Graphene‐skinned alumina fiber (GAF) is a new composite with graphene conformally grown on individual alumina fibers via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). GAF's dynamic, continuous and scalable production is achieved by using a home‐made roll‐to‐roll (RTR) CVD system featuring integrated degumming and growth chambers. GAF possesses tunable conductivity,

Monitoring and Modelling the Vibrational Effects of Small (<50 kW) Wind Turbines on the Eskdalemuir IMS Station [PDF]

, 2011
It is known (Styles et al., 2005) that windfarms generate low frequency vibrations which propagate through the ground and have the potential to adversely affect sensitive installations, most notably seismometer arrays set up to monitor for nuclear tests.

Scalable Laser Processing Enables Transparent, Accretion Scale‐Independent, Ice‐Shedding Glass

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We demonstrate a scalable laser‐based method to create wave‐like micro‐patterns on glass surfaces that counter the conventional view that roughness increases ice adhesion. These patterns direct crack propagation at the ice–glass interface, enabling low‐force, multi‐directional ice detachment while maintaining substrate transparency. A theoretical model

Simulation of wind turbine wake interaction using the vorticity transport model [PDF]

, 2010
The aerodynamic interactions that can occur within a wind farm can result in the constituent turbines generating a lower power output than would be possible if each of the turbines were operated in isolation.
