Synthetic fibers are used extensively as reinforcement in composite materials, but many of
them face environmental concerns such as high energy consumption during production and …

Gas hydrates (GHs) in water close to freezing temperatures can be stabilised via the
formation of ice layers. In a recent work [Boström et al., Astron. Astrophys., A54, 650, 2021], it …

The effect of an implicit medium on dispersive interactions of particle pairs is discussed, and
simple expressions for the correction relative to vacuum are derived. We show that a single …

The paper presents the design and technological fabrication process of Yin or Yang-shaped,
micron-sized electromechanical system (MEMS) elements displaying asymmetric hollow …

The exact Lifshitz theory is utilized for the systematic calculation of the retarded room
temperature Hamaker coefficients between 26 identical isotropic elemental metals …

We present a model of a novel measurement scheme to detect small amounts of a gas
species via the ground-state fluctuations of the electromagnetic field (dispersion forces) …

The integration of MOEMS microelement arrays into smart glass for light steering shows
promising features and valuable advantages in terms of energy conservation, enhancing …

This thesis presents a model of a gas sensor that uses quantum vacuum fluctuations to find
the concentration of CO2 in a mixture of other gases, to demonstrate that such a sensor …
