TL;DR: Reversible transmittance modulation has been achieved with sandwiched nanocarbon thin films (containing carbon nanotubes and reduced graphene oxide) via electrochemical alkali-ion intercalation/deintercalation and it is found that a larger interlayer distance in few-layer rGO results in a significant increase in transparency in the infrared region of the spectrum, in agreement with experimental results.

TL;DR: Considering field emission and gas-ionization for electric breakdown, the authors proposes new theoretical models to predict the upper limits for output performance of contact-mode TENG harvesting system, which reveals that a constant surface charge density exists on the dielectric layer with an effective thickness below a critical value.

TL;DR: A rapid, scalable, and universal strategy is reported to synthesize highly dispersed metal nanoparticles embedded in a carbon matrix via microwave irradiation of carbon black with preloaded precursors, thereby providing a general methodology for the mass production of carbon-supported catalytic nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article, a chip package featuring a TE mini-contact cooler integrated with conventional integrated heat spreader (IHS) and heat sink is designed, and the cooling performance of such chip package is investigated by using a 3D numeric model.

TL;DR: This wearable anthropometric device provides a useful index, the limb circumferential strain, for upper arm muscle contraction in isometric mode, and provides a linear relationship was found during isometric contraction.
