Lithium ion batteries are used to store and produce electric energy. During the charging- and discharging processes, net heat is released or adsorbed in the battery. Temperature is one of the most important factors for battery ageing. In this study we are seeking a fundamental understanding of one of the heat effects, the reversible heat
PhD candidate Magnus Aa. Gjennestad (PoreLab/NTNU) and Senior Researcher/Professor Øivind Wilhelmsen (SINTEF/PoreLab/NTNU) recently published the paper “Thermodynamic stability of droplets, bubbles and thick films in open and closed pores” in Fluid Phase Equilibria. In this work, a thermodynamic description was developed to study the stability of droplets, bubbles and films of water in a pore. For a particular set of conditions,
The FRIPRO project, entitled “Ultrasound-mediated transport of nanoparticles in tissue: A predictive model” and developed by Professor Catharina de Lange Davies, associated member to PoreLab, has received funding from the Norwegian Research Council. This is a main accomplishment! The project can be summarized as follow: A prerequisite for successful cancer chemotherapy is that the drugs

Do you remember the YouTube video from Marcel and the relevant publications on the flying chain? Well, the flying chain strikes again! The group has produced a new theoretical model for explaining the phenomenon that included the effects of fluctuations along the chain length. This model, backed up by experiments and numerical simulations, successfully predicted
