The use of wind tunnel facilities to estimate hydrodynamic data
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016 Experimental laboratory testing of vortex-induced structural oscillations in flowing water is an expensive and time-consuming procedure, and the testing of high Reynolds number flow regimes is complicated due to the requirement of either a large-scale or

RTRI's Large-scale Low-noise Wind Tunnel and Wind Tunnel Tests
Quarterly Report of RTRI, 2001 This article describes the specifications of the Large-scale Low-noise Wind Tunnel completed at Maibara, Japan in 1996. It is used to study aerodynamic noise and other aerodynamic phenomena related to the operation of high-speed trains and to test systems to reduce deleterious effects. Two features stand out: extremely low background noise and a device

Ferroelectric Quantum Dots for Retinomorphic In‐Sensor Computing
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work has provided a protocol for fabricating retinomorphic phototransistors by integrating ferroelectric ligands with quantum dots. The resulting device combines ferroelectricity, optical responsiveness, and low‐power operation to enable adaptive signal amplification and high recognition accuracy under low‐light conditions, while supporting ...

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Resolving the Structural Duality of Graphene Grain Boundaries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Cantilever ncAFM resolves the atomic structure of grain boundaries in graphene, revealing coexisting stable and metastable types. Both contain pentagon/heptagon defects, but metastable GBs show irregular geometries. Modeling shows metastable GBs form under compression, exhibiting vertical corrugation, while stable GBs are flat.
