Assessing the severity of the internal corrosion of structures is of paramount importance in the oil & gas industry. Modelling and simulation of this process proved to be key techniques to understand its mechanism and the main factors influencing its severity [1-4]. Considerable ... Read More

Neurological disorders afflict tens of millions in the US. We are developing technology to advance capabilities for monitoring the neurotransmitters, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (the catecholamines), to facilitate direct observations of their mutual interactions in brain ...

This report explores the utilization of COMSOL® to investigate material properties and perform finite element analysis in solid-state batteries. Over the years, the increase of energy density in Lithium-Ion batteries has begun to plateau. The impact of mainstream consumer electronics ... Read More

There is great interest in developing all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. They are ideal micro-power sources for many applications in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles and biomedical engineering. The batteries are possessed of high energy and power densities, good ... Read More

Electric vehicles (EVs) powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been developed as a replacement for the conventional internal-combustion-engine automobiles. Research has been yielding a stream of improvements to the traditional LIB technology, focusing on energy and ... Read More

Lithium ion batteries and similar energy storage devices have an increasing importance for the modern society as they are present in many portable electronic devices and have perspectives in the fields of electric vehicles and renewable energy accumulation. Herein, we present results ... Read More

Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) is a powerful noninvasive analytical technique employed in a variety of applications ranging from electrochemical characterization of material surfaces, to bioanalytical characterization of single live cells [1]. When applied to live cells, SECM ... Read More

Most of the reported studies on the electrical characteristics of biological cells assume that they have simple shapes like spheres or ellipsoids due to the lack of information about their accurate 3D shape. However, the actual shape of a cell can be quite fractal and it must be taken ... Read More

Fast charging of lithium-ion batteries is critical to commercial application of electrical vehicles (EV). Recharging lithium-ion batteries using standard charging methods usually takes more than one hour which is considerably longer than refueling an internal-combustion-engine (ICE) car. ... Read More

This paper explores the performance of a microfluidic mixer that uses a sinusoidal electric field to accelerate the diffusion process between two Newtonian liquid species in an electrolytic solution. The 2D model was developed using the Microfluidics module in the COMSOL Multiphysics® ... Read More
