Indirect evaporative coolers (IECs) offer a unique opportunity to meet the rapidly growing global cooling demand while reducing the environmental impact of traditional vapor compression systems. Despite their promise, widespread adoption of IECs has been...
The performance of bimetallic dilute alloy catalysts is largely determined by the size of minority metal ensembles on the nanoparticle surface. By analyzing the synthesis of catalysts comprising Pd8Au92 nanoparticles supported on silica using surface...
We present a dehumidification concept which reduces building cooling energy loads, achieving higher efficiency comfort conditions and healthier air for hot and humid climates. We demonstrate an alternative to vapor-compression air conditioning, by using...
Au supported on TiO2 is a promising photocatalyst due to its ability to catalyze reactions under illumination and store electrons for sustained reactivity in the dark. Using density functional theory (DFT), we investigate the structural evolution and...
In the one-pot reaction between nitroarenes, aldehydes, and hydrogen, the desired outcome is the selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes to form aminoarenes that condense with aldehydes to yield pharmaceutically relevant imines and N-alkylamines. One...
We develop a quantitative Raman microscopy approach to study erythrocyte biochemistry at the sub-cellular level. To model Raman microscopy images, we review theory of Raman tensors and derive expressions for Raman responses suitable to compute Raman micro...
Coral reefs are undergoing unprecedented degradation due to rising ocean temperatures, acidification, overfishing, and coastal pollution. Despite conservation efforts, including marine protected areas and sustainable fishing practices, the magnitude of...
Living organisms absorb external nutrients to grow, changing their macroscopic shapes to meet various challenges through mass transport and integration. While several strategies have been developed to create dynamic polymers that allow for mainchain...
Abstract Nanoparticle-supported Pt and Pd catalysts are employed industrially to convert CO and hydrocarbon residue from incomplete diesel fuel combustion into more environmentally-benign products. However, these catalysts deactivate over time due to...
Abstract Natural olfactory systems possess remarkable sensitivity and precision beyond what is currently achievable by engineered gas sensors. Unlike their artificial counterparts, noses are capable of distinguishing scents associated with mixtures of...
Most supported catalysts are produced by forming or attaching nanoparticles onto surfaces of supports. However, controlling the interfacial contact between the nanoparticles and support?which has been reported to be the active site for many catalytic...
We present an alternative concept to vapor-compression air conditioning, by using sorption-based and separation-based methods to manipulate air humidity and velocity, in order to achieve higher efficiency comfort conditions and healthier air for hot and...
