Prospective life cycle assessment (pLCA) is a key tool for evaluating future environmental impacts and supporting environmental policies. Recent pLCA methods integrate technological projections from transition scenarios modeled with integrated assessment m ...

Arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) are widely used photonic components for splitting and combining different wavelengths of light. They play a key role in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems by enabling efficient routing of multiple data channels ...

Copiotrophic marine bacteria contribute to the control of carbon storage in the ocean by remineralizing organic matter. Motility presents copiotrophs with a risk-reward trade-off: it is highly beneficial in seeking out sparse nutrient hotspots, but energet ...

We demonstrate a hybrid integrated frequency-agile laser based on an InP gain chip and an extended electro-optic Bragg waveguide reflector manufactured with a wafer-scale lithium niobate-on-insulator process featuring 10 GHz tuning range with high optical ...

The question of whether static stress in fused silica relaxes at room temperature is still under debate. Here, we report experimental data investigating the behavior of fused silica at room temperature when subjected to static tensile stress up to 2 GPa st ...

We report on the use of photonic resonances in Raman spectroscopy on single nanowires for the enhancement of forbidden modes and the study of the interaction of phonons with free-carriers. This is achieved by suspending nanowire over a trench and detecting ...

Peatlands are important sinks for atmospheric carbon (C), yet the role of plant functional types (PFTs) for C sequestration under climatic perturbations is still unclear. A plant-removal experiment was used to study the importance of vascular PFTs for the ...
