Synergistic effect of mixed wettability of micro-nano porous surface on boiling heat transfer enhancement
(Elsevier, 1 June 2023)In this work, a simple immersion technique was created to further enhance the pool boiling heat transfer performance of micro-nano copper foam by modifying its mixed wettability. The SEM images exhibit that the entirely-covered ... -
Bridge damage detection using precise vision-based displacement influence lines and weigh-in-motion devices: Experimental validation
(Elsevier, 5 May 2023)This study presents an experimental validation for a high-precision vision-based Displacement Influence Line (DIL) measurement system for a purpose of damage detection on bridges. The vision-based DIL measurement system ... -
Development of Cement Stabilised Compressed Blocks Using Coal Bottom Ash: Influence of the Grain Size on Mechanical and Physical Properties of Blocks
(Tecno Scientifica Publishing, 23 May 2023)This study investigated the physical and mechanical properties of cement-stabilized compressed blocks manufactured with coal bottom ash sourced from a power plant in Niger. Three different grain sizes were used for the ... -
Transformation-Optics-Designed Plasmonic Singularities for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution at Metal/Semiconductor Interfaces
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 26 May 2023)Inspired by transformation optics, we propose a new concept for plasmonic photocatalysis by creating a novel hybrid nanostructure with a plasmonic singularity. Our geometry enables broad and strong spectral light harvesting ... -
In-memory photonic dot-product engine with electrically programmable weight banks
(Nature Research, 20 May 2023)Electronically reprogrammable photonic circuits based on phase-change chalcogenides present an avenue to resolve the von-Neumann bottleneck; however, implementation of such hybrid photonic–electronic processing has not ...
