Imaging Tandem Mass Spectrometry: Reduction to Practice
Currently, tandem mass spectrometry is typically performed by selecting a single mass peak in a time of flight or quadrupole mass spectrometer, which is then fragmented through collision, after which the products are mass-selected in a quadrupole or similar secondary mass spectrometer. A Wayne State University researcher has developed an alternative...

Infinite-dimensional integrated digital image correlation (IDIC)
Background Digital image correlation (DIC) methods are common in laboratory experi­ments. Often termed two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D-DIC), the method uses a camera to acquire images of a planar object that is deforming nominally within the specimen surface plane that is being imaged. DIC algorithms typically perform the image registration...

Rare earth metal extraction from ash
Background Rare earth elements (REEs), such as lanthanides, yttrium, and scandium, are critical components in numerous advanced technologies, including electronics, energy storage systems, and medicine. Currently, the majority of REEs are sourced from a limited number of mining operations, which poses substantial risks to geopolitical tensions, supply...

Negative enthalpy collector coatings to enhance stability of metal anodes
Problem Anodeless or anode-free liquid, solid and hybrid liquid-solid batteries hold tremendous promise, offering lower cost in parallel to over 50% higher energy by weight and by volume. However, because of the poor Coulombic efficiency (CE)—which leads to poor cathode utilization, rapid capacity fade during cycling, an unstable solid electrolyte...

Synchronous ripple filter for switch-mode systems
Problem statement Switch-mode systems such as power converters usually generate significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the form of high-frequency current at their input (e.g., the grid) and/or output (e.g., processor supply voltages), which must be filtered to meet product specifications and/or regulations. This is typically accomplished...

Observing single nanoparticle collisions at ultramicroelectrodes
Technology description Metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been of interest in many fields, often because of their large surface-to-volume ratio and size dependent optical properties. Most research on NPs has focused on ensemble-averaged properties, but there have been investigations of the electrochemical behavior of an immobilized single NP, despite the...

Ad-Hoc Communication System for Intelligent Transportation with Simultaneous Transmission and Sensing
Background The performance of an intelligent transportation system depends on many factors, but most significantly the supporting V2X communication technologies. 3GPP standardised C-V2X technology is shown only being able to support basic applications, and advanced applications require a better communication system. An ad-hoc V2X scenario is regarded...
