Light allows to non-invasively study the complex and dynamic biological phenomenon undergoing within cells and tissues in their native state. The development of super-resolution microscopes in recent years has helped to ...

Optically-transparent solids have a significant role in many emerging topics of fundamental and applied research, in areas related to Applied Optics and Photonics. In the functional devices based on them, the presence of ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene have been one of the noticeable research areas in science and technology. In recent years, the assembly of these carbon nanostructures is one of the most interesting topic to the scientific ...

Transition metal carbides have great industrial importance with a wide area of applications. Unlike many ceramic materials which can be produced from raw materials found in nature, the refractory carbides generally do not ...

This thesis presents results of investigations on fields and multipole expansion coefficients in axially symmetric (referred to as 3D)and two dimensional (2D)ion trapmass analysers. 3D mass analysers have a three-electrode ...

Electrical contact resistance (ECR) measurements are needed for judging the performance of electrical appliances. Understanding the behaviour of ECR at low temperature gives a unique opportunity for understanding the contact ...

The study of cultured neuronal networks has opened up avenues for understanding the ion channels, receptor molecules, and synaptic plasticity that may form the basis of learning and memory. The hippocampal neurons prepared ...
