Atmospheric pressure microwave plasma has the lead in synthesizing freestanding and scalable graphene within seconds without need for high vacuum temperature. However, process is limited utilizing chemical sources synthesis, such as methane ethanol. Herein, usage of an extract a sustainable precursor, that is, Melaleuca alternifolia, commonly known tea tree, first time reported to synthesize na...

Recently, the mechanical behavior of micro-/nano-structures has sparked an ongoing debate, which leads to a fundamental question: what steps can be taken investigate characteristics these structures, and characterize their performance? From standpoint non-classical materials, size-dependent theories considered analyze behavior. The application classical in investigation small-scale structures l...

A patterned coreeshell tin (Sn) nanorod anode is fabricated by pulse electrodeposition of Sn onto a selfassembled Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) structured nickel current collector. Pulse electrodeposition onto the virus assembled 3D electrode surfaces produces homogenous Sn coatings with significant void space to accommodate the large volume change associated with Sn lithiation. The TMV enabled 3D...

Recently NAano-Plasmonic, Laser Inertial Fusion Experiments (NAPLIFE) were proposed, as an improved way to achieve laser driven fusion. The improvement is the combination of two basic research discoveries: (i) possibility detonations on space-time hyper-surfaces with time-like normal (i.e. simultaneous detonation in a whole volume) and (ii) increase this volume target, by regulating light absor...

We investigate geometric percolation and scaling relations in suspensions of nanorods, covering the entire range of aspect ratios from spheres to extremely slender needles. A new version of connectedness percolation theory is introduced and tested against specialised Monte Carlo simulations. The theory accurately predicts percolation thresholds for aspect ratios of rod length to width as low as...

The conversion of waste to wealth has recently grossed high attention as it possesses the ability boost economy any nation; hence, this research. In study, characterization and investigation mechanical properties nano- flux (CaO) welding powder developed from bio-agrowaste (eggshell) was carried out. Mild, galvanized stainless steel plates rods were used parent metals for experiment. Results ob...
