Recent research in wireless power transfer (WPT) using resonant inductive coupling has demonstrated very high e±ciencies (above 40%) at large distances compared to the antenna dimensions, which has exponentially increased ...

Recently, it has been found that off-center carbon burning in a subset of intermediate-mass stars does not propagate all the way to the center, resulting in a class of hybrid CONe cores. The implications of a significant ...

Abridged: Observed abundances of extremely metal-poor (EMP) stars in the Halo hold clues for the understanding of the ancient universe. Interpreting these clues requires theoretical stellar models at the low-Z regime. We ...

Getting a better understanding of the evolution and nucleosynthetic yields of the most metal-poor stars ( Z ¿ 10 ¿5 ) is critical because they are part of the big picture of the history of the primitive universe. Yet many ...

The reduction in size of satellites is reaching at the range of femto-satellites, i.e. satellites less than 100 grams in mass. One of the key points to achieve such a reduc tion is to simplify the design of the satellite, ...

Historically, planetary and lunar rovers have been wheeled-driven. While this is usually seen as an advantage –due to the flight experience– in some cases, the unavoidable presence of gears and mobile parts can be a ...
