Milkfish, an important aquaculture species in Asian countries, are traditionally cultured in outdoor-based systems. There, they experience potentially stressful fluctuations in environmental conditions, such as temperature, eliciting changes in fish physiology. While th...

A green laser source was assembled consisting of a multi-section distributed feedback laser and a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal in single-pass configuration. Butt-coupling between the tilted output facet of the laser and the second harmonic generation waveg...

In this paper, we detect and characterize the carbon contamination layers that are formed during the illumination of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) multilayer mirrors. The EUV induced carbon layers were characterized ex situ using spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and laser ge...

We report on the detailed electrical investigation of all-inkjet-printed thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays focusing on TFT failures and their origins. The TFT arrays were manufactured on flexible polymer substrates in ambient condition without the need for cleanroom env...

Substrate topography can have profound effects on initial bacterial adhesion during biofilm formation. We applied and cells onto periodically structured substrates with different structure dimensions, structure types and wetting properties. We found a strong dependence ...

The application of nanosized multicomponent particles often requires tailored mixing characteristics. This involves mixing on primary particle level, on cluster level, or on aggregate level. This mixing is often evaluated qualitatively in 2D, based on image analyses. Th...

We have devolved 1064 nm high-power monolithic distributed feedback lasers which operate simultaneously on two longitudinal modes. These modes correspond to the fundamental and first-order lateral mode and arise from a 7.5 µm width ridge waveguide supporting both of the...

Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) dispersions formed by fast ionic exchange reaction between polyelectrolytes (PELs) bearing oppositely charged groups have been characterized by turbidity and dynamic light scattering. The stability of the formed PEC dispersions, the average...

Plasma patterning processes play a key role in modern Ultra Large Scale Integration (ULSI) device fabrication. With further scaling of device dimensions, plasma process characteristics become more and more the limiting factor in pattern minimization, not least due to pa...

The Ti–35Nb–7Zr–5Ta (TNZT) alloy is a promising alloy because of its biocompatibility, high specific strength, and low Young’s modulus. This work aimed at investigating the viability to process the TNZT alloy by selective laser melting (SLM) and at optimizing the proces...
