Abstract: A simplified method of making an adsorbent layer can permit design and analysis of sorption systems having improved performance can include generation of one dimensional channels.

Abstract: A surface with selective wetting properties is described.

Abstract: A water-harvesting system can operate with a material that can take up and release water with minimum energy requirements and powered by low-grade energy sources, such as sunlight, in order to potentially allow its deployment into households, especially those located in sunny regions. A water-harvesting method and system can include multiple layers of adsorptive material.

Abstract: Engineered surfaces, such as surfaces having nano- and/or micro-scale features, may provide an enhanced flow boiling Critical Heat Flux (CHF) at ambient or higher pressures, which may enhance cooling. Enhancing flow boiling CHF may be desirable for nuclear reactors, where heat is generated by a heater such as a nuclear reactor core. Enhanced flow boiling CHF may provide larger safety margins and/or better economics of nuclear reactors, for example, because reactor power rating may be increased as cooling is enhanced.

Abstract: A two-phase microchannel heat sink can be a fluid channel including a bottom wall including a superhydrophilic surface with microstructures and a side wall including a surface that is hydrophobic relative to the superhydrophilic surface of the bottom wall. When heat flux is applied to the fluid channel, a liquid film on the bottom wall is maintained and nucleation of boiling occurs only on the side wall.

Abstract: A hybrid surface can have hydrophobic properties and high thermal conductance.

Abstract: Described are methods of treatment of a small cell lung cancer subject expressing Schlafen-11 (SLFN 11) with a Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Specifically, the method comprising detecting SLFN 11 in a tumor cell sample from the subject, and administering effective amount of a PARP inhibitor, such as talazoparib or the tosylate salt of talazoparib, to the subject.

Abstract: A device for thermal energy harvesting can use pulsed heat.

Abstract: A device for providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection includes circuitry configured to detect an occurrence of an ESD event at one or more voltage rails. An ESD clamp is activated via a clamp triggering path to provide a discharge path for an ESD current. A gate voltage of the ESD clamp is maintained greater than a predetermined threshold via a holding path in parallel with the clamp triggering path.

Abstract: Condensation can he an important process in both emerging and traditional power generation and water desalination technologies. Superhydrophobic nanostructures can promise enhanced condensation heat transfer by reducing the characteristic size of departing droplets via a surface-tension-driven mechanism. A superhydrophobic surface can include nanostructures of a metal oxide having further surface modification.

Abstract: The present invention provides an article for immobilizing functional organic biomolecules through a covalent bond to a thiolate monolayer on a coinage metal surface. Also provided are methods for making the article and method for the immobilization of functional organic biomolecules on the article. The thiolate monolayer contains two moieties, one having an inert group that is resistant to reacting with biomolecules and one having a covalent bond forming group that reacts with the functional organic biomolecule to covalently immobilize it on the monolayer.
