In recent years, conventional rigid and planar sensor devices are gradually substituted by flexible and stretchable alternatives. This paradigm shift has paved the way to entirely new applications, particularly in the field of personalized health monitoring or environmental sensing. ... Mehr lesen

Materials such as aluminium with high thermal and electrical conductivities are of industrial interest, particularly for the automotive industry in the current context of increasing production of electric vehicles. The reflective properties of this material make it difficult to process ... Mehr lesen

Effectively storing hydrogen in solid form using metal hydrides requires careful attention to thermal management challenges due to the exothermic nature of hydrogen absorption in metal hydrides [1], [2]. The generated heat during this process must be efficiently removed to achieve ... Mehr lesen

Traffic noise pollution has represented a significant challenge for modern societies, requiring the development of innovative noise mitigation strategies. In the last decades, intensive research has been developed into the design and evaluation of noise barriers but there still lacks a ... Mehr lesen

Foundation scour is a major cause of bridge collapse worldwide (e.g., Kirby et al., 2015). Indeed, several studies have demonstrated its detrimental effects on the soil-structure system, both in terms of the foundation capacity and stiffness (e.g., Foti et al., 2023). Furthermore, the ...

Obtaining a good coverage of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) service, in the 200 MHz band, in motorway tunnels is quite a challenging task. Recently, Rai Research Centre (CRITS) has been involved in investigating alternative (and cheaper) solutions than those adopted so far (radiating ... Mehr lesen

The low-temperature electrochemical conversion of CO₂ to ethylene offers significant potential for reducing the chemical industry’s reliance on fossil fuels. Despite recent advancements, the key performance indicators—activity, selectivity, and durability—are insufficient for industrial ... Mehr lesen

In structural optimization, the norm has long been to use maximum stress or compliance as objectives to be minimized. However, probabilistic quantities, such as the probability of failure, offer a fresh and powerful alternative. These quantities are inherently dimensionless, confined to ... Mehr lesen

A Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) can convert the chemical energy of a fuel (H2-rich gas mixture [1] or syngas [2, 3] or biogas [4]) in electric and thermal energies with high electric efficiency. It is composed of two porous gas diffusion electrodes and an electrolyte (Figure 1). The fuel ... Mehr lesen

The goal of this study is to exploit the phase change in vanadium dioxide (VO₂) for optical sensing. Infrared (IR) sensing is of paramount interest for next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Phase change materials (PCMs) are expected to enable low-energy consumption sensors, ... Mehr lesen
