Laser-produced plasmas (LPPs) engulf exotic and complex conditions ranging in
temperature, density, pressure, magnetic and electric fields, charge states, charged particle …

Various infectious agents are known to be transmitted naturally via respiratory aerosols
produced by infected patients. Such aerosols may be produced during normal activities by …

The paper describes past and present efforts in modeling of laser-induced plasma and
overviews plasma diagnostics carried out by pump-probe techniques. Besides general …

Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO 2) exhibits unique thermophysical and transport
properties, which have the potential to enhance a wide range of thermal systems. Significant …

Purpose Irreversible electroporation (IRE) uses high-voltage electric fields to achieve cell
death. Although the mechanism of IRE is mainly designated as nonthermal, development of …

The energy needed to deform an elastic solid may be recovered, while in Newtonian fluids,
like water and glycerol, deformation energy dissipates on timescales of the intermolecular …

When a high-intensity laser pulse is focused into a liquid the energy is converted into
mechanical energy via an optodynamic process. The conversion starts with plasma …

High-intensity light from a laser pulse can produce optical breakdown in a liquid, followed by
a shock wave and the growth of a cavitation bubble. When the bubble reaches its maximum …

We use high-speed video imaging to study laser disruption of the free surface of a
hemispheric drop. The drop sits on a glass surface and the Nd: YAG (yttrium aluminum …

As well as preventing oxidation, a cross-flow of inert gas over the powder bed extracts
process by-products, making it critical for process repeatability and build quality during the …
