The ten papers in this focused section present relevant new models, devices and applications of three families of iconic EAPs (conducting polymers, carbon nanotubes, and ionic polymer-metal composites) and one…

Laboratory measurements are reported of the rate coefficient for collisional removal of O2(𝑋3𝛴−𝑔 , υ = 1) by O(3P), and the rate coefficients for removal of O2(a1Δg, υ = 1)…

The result for OH(υ = 9) + O indicates that fast O-atom processes play an important role in determining the OH emission and chemical heating rates in the middle terrestrial atmosphere.

We report a new mineral that occurs in shock-induced melt veins of the Tenham L6 chondrite.

Close to the burner surface, successive dehydrogenation of the fuel is found to be important for the cyclohexane flame and to some smaller extent for the methylcyclopentane flame.

We demonstrate optical manipulation of nanoliter aqueous droplets containing surfactant or lipid molecules and immersed in an organic liquid using near infrared light.

The synthesis and the effect of a combination of 6-glycine and 14-phenylpropoxy substitutions in N-methyl- and N-cycloproplymethylmorphinans on biological activities are described.

We created mutants of each of the four classical N. crassa HDAC genes and tested their effect on histone acetylation levels and DNA methylation.

We propose a sound generator structure that provides a mechanical bias with the EAP without an external device and efficiently uses transformation of the EAP to drive the diaphragm.

The structural and electrical properties of BST varactors fabricated on nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films as the diffusion barrier layer are reported here.
