Techno-economic and environmental analysis of methanol and dimethyl ether production from syngas in a kraft pulp process

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego

The conventional configuration of a pulp mill, in which black liquor is concentrated and burnt, is compared to the upgrading gasification routes for methanol (MeOH) or dimethyl ether (DME) co-production. To this end, various exergy-based and environmental ...

A Low-Temperature Annealing Method for Alloy Nanostructures and Metasurfaces: Unlocking a Novel Degree of Freedom

Olivier Martin, Christian Santschi, Hsiang-Chu Wang, Jeonghyeon Kim, Debdatta Ray

The material and exact shape of a nanostructure determine its optical response, which is especially strong for plasmonic metals. Unfortunately, only a few plasmonic metals are available, which limits the spectral range where these strong optical effects ca ...

Light-Based Printing of Leachable Salt Molds for Facile Shaping of Complex Structures

Cyril Henri Dénéréaz

3D printing is a powerful manufacturing technology for shaping materials into complex structures. While the palette of printable materials continues to expand, the rheological and chemical requisites for printing are not always easy to fulfill. Here, a uni ...

Online Bipedal Locomotion Adaptation for Stepping on Obstacles Using a Novel Foot Sensor

Milad Shafiee Ashtiani

In this paper, we present a novel control architecture for the online adaptation of bipedal locomotion on inclined obstacles. In particular, we introduce a novel, cost-effective, and versatile foot sensor to detect the proximity of the robot's feet to the ...

Engineering Absorption for Foil Applications

Sebastian Mader

Light matter interactions such as extinction, reflection, and transmission can be described by classical optics. Dur-ing the past decades, research focused on a novel resonant extinction type called plasmonics that allows for en-hancement of both types of ...

OnePot PURE Cell-Free System

Sebastian Maerkl, Barbora Lavickova, Laura Sophie Grasemann

The defined PURE (protein synthesis using recombinant elements) transcription-translation system provides an appealing chassis for cell-free synthetic biology. Unfortunately, commercially available systems are costly, and their tunability is limited. In co ...

Monodisperse Selectively Permeable Hydrogel Capsules Made from Single Emulsion Drops

Esther Amstad, Alexandre Louis André Persat, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Alice Cont

Capsules are often used to protect chemical and biological entities from the environment, to control the timing and location of their release, or to facilitate the collection of waste. Their performance depends on the thickness and composition of their she ...

In-situ laser sintering for the fabrication of fully 3D printed electronics composed of elastomeric materials

Danick Briand, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Sébastien Lani, Ryan Mitchell van Dommelen

In-situ laser sintering can be used to locally sinter conductive inks in an uninterrupted process, enabling the embedding of printed electronics within 3D printed structures. In this work we apply a laser sintering method to create highly conductive silver ...

Innovative Renewable Technology Integration for Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings within the Re-COGNITION Project

Alessandro Francesco Aldo Virtuani

With the 2010/31/EU directive, all new buildings shall be nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) from 2020 onward, with the aim of strongly reducing the energy consumption related to the building sector. To achieve this goal, it is not sufficient to focus on ...
