The mini review summarizes the interactions between biological cells and high aspect ratio nanostructures termed as biological metamaterials, while focusing on what happens at the fundamental level. The questions pertaining to the interfacial phenomenon producing modes of interaction, what instigates them, what are the favourable conditions for controlled interaction, and how are they influenced by […]
The microbial inactivation ability of low temperature plasma treatment generated by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) on bread-born mold (black bread mold) is investigated. It is shown that the plasma treatment can effectively decrease the mold growth rate. The longer plasma treatment time is, the more mold spores are inactivated. On the other hand, plasma treatment […]
Silicon (Si) photovoltaic cells and their production play a pivotal role in advancing energy utilization within the rapidly expanding solar industry, which serves as a critical driver in realizing global sustainability objectives and mitigating environmental repercussions associated with energy production. Here, we introduce a novel two-step pattern transfer technique to successfully imprint a two-dimensional plasmonic […]
Recently, the antibacterial effects of plasma-activated liquids have been noticed by food industries and researchers. Some research reported that reactive oxygens and nitrogen species (RONS) that are generated in the treatment liquids destroyed cells. In this study, we evaluated surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD) -plasma for inactivation of Escherichia coli and quality attributes of fish […]
We investigated CdTe thin-film solar cell configuration using Silvaco Atlas. We simulated a fundamental CdTe cell at an ambient temperature of 298 K. Subsequently, we compared our simulation results to both theoretical and experimental data. The outputs demonstrated a compelling concurrence with the performance of the experimental CdTe solar cell, renowned for its record-breaking efficiency, […]
Boron doped tin oxide nanocrystals with tetragonal symmetry (space group: P42/mnm) were prepared by sol-gel route using three different polyhydroxy alcohols like starch, glycerol and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA). Morphological and structural properties were studied for these samples by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The morphology […]
The study of lead-free glasses for radiation shielding applications has drawn global attention. This work aimed to theoretically investigate the impact of Bi2O3 on X-ray shielding characteristics of telluro-borate-bismuth glass samples, in the 15 – 300 keV energy region. Sample S5 (55B2O3 – 5TeO2 – 20SrO – 5ZnO – 15Bi2O3) yielded highest LAC, MAC, and […]
Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma has several applications in different fields.

The prepared nanoparticles were deposited on a silicon wafer of (100) direction by dip coating technique. The FE-SEM results showed the nanoparticles that the spherical shapes with […]
VERA benchmark cases have been introduced by ORNL and detailed guidelines have been provided including the burnup chain data for a depletion analysis. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the performance of MCNP Monte Carlo code using VERA benchmark cases. Research on the VERA benchmark cases become important because its results will be […]
Tokamak reactors’ performance is inherently tied to the precise control of plasma shape, position, and current while staying within the operational constraints, specifically managing the control signals and power supply voltages. Furthermore, many tokamak models exhibit strong coupling between control variables, necessitating the use of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) decoupling controllers. The primary control objectives include […]
The impact of rotation and dust polarization force on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) in a magnetized, velocity-sheared dusty plasma is explored in this study. The investigation involves deriving the general dispersion relation from the linearized perturbation equations. The dispersion relation is solved numerically to analyze how dust polarization force and rotation influence the critical shear and […]
We investigate the effect of pre-bunched relativistic electron beams on the output power of a free electron laser by two electron beams in a theoretical study. In general, this highly coherent and stable pulse of laser is known as the best investigator of basic importance for present-day science. Free electron lasers are the best candidates […]
