The evaluation of lightning ElectroMagnetic (EM) fields represents the most cumbersome part of the lightning-induced voltages computation process. Their evaluation is usually performed through a numerical routine or with simplified analytical expressions, ...
To exploit fusion as a source of energy, a hot and dense confined plasma is needed. This is
achieved in tokamaks by actively controlling the plasma state meaning shape, position and
internal kinetic profiles. This thesis addresses two topics: the developme ...
Brain functionality relies on the neuronal-glial-vascular (NGV) ensemble for energy support. However, the details of the complex biological mechanisms involved in these processes and the microscopic interactions between these three components are not yet f ...
The development of new solid-state electrolytes is a key step
in improving the performance and safety of battery technology.
Although the use of first-principle methods has proved invaluable
in better understanding the process at play in these materials, ...
Transparent conductive materials (TCMs) with high p-type conductivity and broadband transparency have remained elusive for years. Despite decades of research, no p-type material has yet been found to match the performance of n-type TCMs. If developed, the ...
Being able to replicate real experiments with computational simulations is a unique opportunity to refine and validate models with experimental data and redesign the experiments based on simulations. However, since it is technically demanding to model all ...
Intense x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) pulses hold great promise for imaging function in nanoscale and biological systems with atomic resolution. So far, however, the spatial resolution obtained from single shot experiments lags averaging static experime ...
