Read moreCoexistence of wrinkles and blisters in supported graphene Kuan Zhang (LaCàN, U. Politècnica de Catalunya) and Marino Arroyo (LaCàN, UPC) During this project we examined the mechanics of bubbles in supported graphene. In experiments, graphene bubbles have been observed with different sizes and shapes. The reported radii of the circular […]
Read moreModelling the efficiency of a nanofluid-based direct absorption collector Solar energy has the capacity to solve one of the most pressing needs facing modern society: namely the development of a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source. The potential benefit of this decentralised and inexhaustible natural source is demonstrated by the […]
