New trends in electroactive-polymers (EAP) based devices for soft actuators and for electrocaloric cooling revive studies on compact, efficient, reversible and low power supply. High electrode resistance, high voltage and small capacitance of EAPs represen ...

A classical particle moving in a periodic potential can localize inside a single potential minimum, but a quantum particle forms extended states by tunnelling to neighbouring minima. These two limits are separated by a quantum Schmid-Bulgadaev phase transi ...
Graphene/cotton fibers show significant promise in wearable energy storage due to their low cost, porous structure, and exceptional integration ability into wearable systems. However, the eco-unfriendly reductants and standalone electric double-layer capac ...
A variety of biosensors have been proposed to quickly detect and measure the properties of individual microorganisms among heterogeneous populations, but challenges related to cost, portability, stability, sensitivity, and power consumption limit their app ...
We model interactions following the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) framework in disordered graphene flakes up to 300 000 atoms in size (-100 nm in diameter) subjected to an out-of-plane magnetic field B of 5-20 Tesla within the tight-binding formalism. We investi ...
This paper addresses the complexity reduction of stochastic homogenization of a class of random materials for a stationary diffusion equation. A cost-efficient approximation of the correctors is obtained using a method designed to exploit quasi-periodicity ...
In this paper, lightning electromagnetic (EM) fields radiated by a lightning strike to the Gaisberg Tower in Salzburg, Austria, and propagating over irregular terrain are calculated using a 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. With topographic h ...
In the framework of EU design activities for dimensioning the future fusion DEMOnstration reactor (DEMO), in-depth analyses were conducted in EUROfusion context, aiming to define the design of the DEMO magnets system. For the last DEMO baseline, CEA has pr ...

Local river widening aims to reduce the flood risk and enable the self-morphodynamic development of the river. However, a large amount of transported sediments settles due to the flow velocity reduction in the widening. Assessing the flow and the grain mot ...
In this paper, we study the behavior of miniaturized high-order waveguide filters, constructed by loading a hollow metallic waveguide with resonant pins, to form a locally-resonant metamaterial. Such composite pin-pipe structure supports a guided-mode with ...
