Low-Temperature Biosurfactants from Polar Microbes [PDF]
Surfactants, both synthetic and natural, are used in a wide range of industrial applications, including the degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons. Organisms from extreme environments are well-adapted to the harsh conditions and represent an exciting avenue of discovery of naturally occurring biosurfactants, yet microorganisms from cold environments ...

Temperature-dependent polarization in a non-polar crystal [PDF]
A crystal’s surface has been found to behave as a distinct material that has temperature-dependent electrical polarization — despite the rest of the crystal being non-polar. Pyroelectricity in the surface layers of strontium titanate.

Numerical simulation and theoretical study on effects of operating parameters in Persian Gulf desalination using vacuum membrane distillation [PDF]
The Persian Gulf and its coastal areas are considered to be the largest source of crude oil in the world. On the other hand, the waste heat from the refining and petrochemical industries located around the Persian Gulf region can be used based on simple ...

Temperature-controlled terahertz polarization conversion bandwidth
Active control of metasurfaces has attracted widespread attention because of the adjustable electromagnetic properties obtained. Here we designed and experimentally studied a dynamically controllable polarization converter in the terahertz band. By designing the structural parameters and utilizing the insulator-to-metal phase transition of vanadium ...

Observation of room-temperature polar skyrmions [PDF]
Complex topological configurations are fertile ground for exploring emergent phenomena and exotic phases in condensed-matter physics. For example, the recent discovery of polarization vortices and their associated complex-phase coexistence and response under applied electric fields in superlattices of (PbTiO3)n/(SrTiO3)n suggests the presence of a ...

Electrocaloric effect and freezing temperature in (Pb0.8Ba0.2)[(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)0.7Ti0.3]O3 relaxor ferroelectric ceramic [PDF]
The electrocaloric effect (ECE) is studied in (Pb0.8Ba0.2)[(Zn1∕3Nb2∕3)0.7Ti0.3]O3 relaxor ferroelectric ceramic by using an “indirect method”. The electric dependence for the polarization (hysteresis loops) has been obtained for several temperatures ...

CFD Investigation of Spacer-Filled Channels for Membrane Distillation
The membrane distillation (MD) process for water desalination is affected by temperature polarization, which reduces the driving force and the efficiency of the process. To counteract this phenomenon, spacer-filled channels are used, which enhance mixing
