Abstract: Rectangular micro-coaxial lines have significant advantages in high power, high isolation, low loss, and miniaturization. However, electrical breakdown due to large electrical intensity is ...

This paper aims to elucidate the clear visibility of attenuating seismic waves (SWs) with forest trees as natural metamaterials known as forest metamaterials (FMs) arranged in a periodic pattern ...

Integration of information across heterogeneous sources creates added scientific value. Interoperability of data, tools and models is, however, difficult to accomplish across spatial and temporal ...

Abstract: This paper adduces 4x4 butler matrix beamforming network employing a new technique in transmission line structure-- open circuit coupled lines and a metamaterial structure of composite right ...

Inertial microfluidics is a promising approach for particle separation because of the superior advantages of high throughput, simplicity, precise manipulation, and low cost. However, the current ...

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is comprised of more than 50% carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) (Figure 1). Although CFRP composites have many inherent advantages, they cannot mitigate the potentially ...

Cell encapsulation with biocompatible and permeable hydrogels may allow transplantation without immunosuppression. As an alternative to standard microencapsulation approaches that create single-sized ...
