Wearable biosensors are critical for enabling real-time and continuous health monitoring disease management.
Geothermal energy offers the potential to provide continuous baseload renewable energy. Unlike conventional geothermal approaches, emerging closed-loop can employ specialized fluids that improve thermal recovery and expand range of applications. However, requirements for candidate are challenging. The must be physically chemically stable under high-temperature, -pressure, -shear conditions. Their effective heat capacity high their viscosity also low, factors motivated us use a high-latent...
Phase change materials that leverage the latent heat of solid-liquid transition have many applications in thermal energy transport and storage. When employed as particles within a carrier fluid, resulting phase slurries (PCSs) could outperform present-day single-phase working fluids─provided viscous losses can be minimized. This work investigates rheological behavior encapsulated nonencapsulated for applicability flowing systems. The physical properties PCS candidates, along with their...
The complexation of MgII with adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is omnipresent in biochemical energy conversion, but difficult to interrogate directly. Here we use the spin- 1/2 β-emitter 31 Mg study -ATP 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM-Ac) solutions using β-radiation-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (β-NMR). We demonstrate that (nuclear) spin-polarized Mg, following ion-implantation from an accelerator beamline into EMIM-Ac, binds ATP within its radioactive lifetime before...

Geothermal energy offers a route to clean power generation with baseload reliability that is unique among renewable sources. Current geothermal systems employ water, brine, or CO2 as working fluid and rely on sensible heating extract energy. In this work, latent heat based phase change slurries (PCSs) are assessed geo-fluids for use in closed-loop systems. The PCS property data its thermal, physical, chemical, rheological behaviour at reservoir-relevant high-pressure high-temperature...
