TL;DR: Through systematic measurements of silver nanowires of different sizes, it is shown that the Lorenz number increases with decreasing wire diameter and has a higher value at wire contacts, which helps to explain the more significant thermal conductivity enhancement of silver Nanowires-based composites.

TL;DR: A novel solid propellant micro-thruster was developed and used as the actuation assembly of a novel remote controlled capsule (RCC) as discussed by the authors, which produces sufficient gas pressure to empty the drug reservoir within the capsule.

TL;DR: It is shown that the etch rate is closely related to the polymer cross-link density in the PDMS with a higher etch rates for a lower PDMS Young’s modulus, which could provide guidance to the fabrication of microfluidic devices involving dry etching of PDMS.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of crystal size and mass fraction on the effective thermal conductivity of nanocomposite films were studied numerically using a molecular dynamics simulation and it was shown that a reduction of 25% in thermal conductivities can be achieved with the addition of nanocrystals which is comparable to that found in experimental measurement.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic study has been carried out numerically and compared with some experimental data to examine the heating effect on the corner recirculation zone (CRZ) in sudden-expansion gas flows.
