Hydrogen (H 2) is currently considered a clean fuel to decrease anthropogenic greenhouse
gas emissions and will play a vital role in climate change mitigation. Nevertheless, one of …

The oxidation of fossil fuels produces billions of tons of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2)
emissions from stationary and nonstationary sources per annum, contributing to global …

As mechanical structures enter the nanoscale regime, the influence of van der Waals forces
increases. Graphene is attractive for nanomechanical systems, because its Young's …

Although negligible at large scales, capillary forces may become dominant for submillimetric
objects. Surface tension is usually associated with the spherical shape of small droplets and …

A few years after the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM), the atomic force
microscope (AFM) was developed. 1 Instead of measuring tunneling current, a new physical …

In recent years, near-nano (submicron) and nanostructured materials have attracted
increasingly more attention from the materials community. Nanocrystalline materials are …

The molecular configuration of water adsorbed on a hydrophilic silicon oxide surface at
room temperature has been determined as a function of relative humidity using attenuated …

Although negligible at macroscopic scales, capillary forces become dominant as the sub-
millimetric scales of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are considered. We review …

Tissue adhesives have attracted more attention to the applications of non-invasive wound
closure. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the recent progress of developing …

Micro-milling is a precision manufacturing process with broad applications across the
biomedical, electronics, aerospace, and aeronautical industries owing to its versatility …
