Heat Harvesting with Cellulosic Membranes

Left: The cellulose fibers are naturally aligned along the growth direction. Cellulose exhibits a hierarchical alignment, in which the nanofibres consist of aligned cellulose molecular chains. Right: Schematic of the ionic device after infiltrating electrolyte into the nanofluidic cellulosic membrane. Under a thermal bias, the surface charged nanofibres regulate ionic movement via nanofluidic effects (that is, the overall effect created by a high degree of confinement and the charged walls of the cellulose

Potential high-yield fabrication of x-ray transmission mirror optics

Schematic side view (top) and photographic top view (bottom)of the transmission mirror test set up. A comparison of the reflected intensity of the tungsten Lα, Lβ, and Lγ lines provided by a microfoucs tube source were used to quantify the rejection ratio of the XTM for different angles of incidence.
