Abstract Self‐rolled‐up membrane (S‐RuM) 3D microtube inductors represent a significant advancement in miniaturization for radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit applications, particularly internet‐of‐things and 5G/6G communications. These have excellent high‐frequency performance due to better confinement of the magnetic field weak dependence on substrate conductivity. However, previously reported S‐RuM inductor frequencies are limited by crosstalk capacitance between overlapping metal...

Radio frequency (RF) induction heating was compared to conventional thermal for the hydrogenation of oleic acid stearic acid. The RF reaction demonstrated decreased coke accumulation and increased product selectivity at comparable temperatures over mesoporous Fe3O4 catalysts composed 28–32 nm diameter nanoparticles. supports were decorated with Pd Pt active sites served as local heat generators when subjected an alternating magnetic field. For Pd/Fe3O4, both methods gave similar liquid...
