Polymeric particle formation through electrospraying at low atmospheric pressure.

Electrospraying is a simple and versatile technique capable of producing polymeric particles. However, most investigations carried out thus far have been performed at ambient atmospheric pressure without studying the influences of pressure on the formation of polymeric particles. Here, we report our investigation on the effects of varying the pressure and the solution concentration on the micro...

Ams, a Particle Spectrometer in Space

The results of the precursor flight of the AMS experiment are reviewed, the interpretation of the measured proton flux reported, and the prospects for the forthcoming main phase on the International Space Station outlined.
