The interface between plasma and liquid plays an important role in the generation and transfer of reactive species. Plasma bubbles offers the means of providing energy efficiency and enhanced mass transfer facilitating effective and competitive scaling of plasma systems for energy applications. A number of green chemistry examples will be presented including; Example One will focus on the...
The basic principle of plasma technologies is the modification of surface properties of solid materials by treatment with species of high potential and/or kinetic energy. The surface finish usually depends on the dose of plasma species (charged particles, neutral radicals, and radiation) and sometimes also on the fluxes of plasma species. Scientific literature, however, rarely reports the...
Australia’s enviable endowment of untapped solar energy renders it very attractive for investment in solar energy infrastructure. This is exemplified by Sun Cable Pty Ltd who are planning to build the world’s largest solar power plant in outback Australia. The time is ripe to create advanced plasma-based manufacturing capabilities that leverage our vast renewable energy reserves and develop...
Modifying the surface properties is often a necessary part of the industrial process as most of the components manufactured by common material processing methods have limited abilities when operated for specific applications. These applications require improvement in surface properties like wear resistance, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, etc.
Surface modification by plasma is...
The plasma process contributes a high proportion of the semiconductor manufacturing process, and the complexity of the process is gradually increasing. To improve the degree of integration of semiconductor chips, various plasma sources and processes have been developed Furthermore, efforts have been made to design and optimize sources and processes using plasma simulators.
Although various...
The fundamental idea in Machine Learning (ML) is that, for many applications, training a computer algorithm for predicting or finding patterns in the behavior of a complex system by observing many input-output samples of its behavior can be significantly simpler than developing physics-based models.
Many of the ideas underlying this data-driven approach to understanding complex systems have...
Globally, biomedical researchers are hampered in reagent, consumable and product development by the inability of functional biomolecules to bind to polystyrene, glass and other important materials. Functional biomolecules - used in products ranging from diagnostics to cell culture to drug delivery systems - are most often physisorbed to the surface, meaning their attachment is relatively weak...
In many areas of energy production and application, materials with superb thermal and mechanical properties are required. In particular in fusion devices, first wall materials are exposed to extreme heat, neutron and particle fluxes, leading to material degradation. In solar tower power plants the exposure to highly concentrated and alternating solar fluxes, leading to cyclic thermal loads,...
