Photoluminescence (PL) is a fundamental light-matter interaction where absorbed photons are re-emitted, playing a major role in optoelectronics, energy harvesting, and spectroscopy. This talk explores the temperature-dependent evolution of PL, exploiting the tools of optics and thermodynamics. A key focus...

The problem of escape attracted a lot of attention over an extended period of time. Recently, the analytic approach towards this sort of problem had been suggested in the context of the primary 1:1 resonance. The effect of the secondary...

Variation bounding, i.e., preventing an increase of zero-crossings or local extrema is an elementary property that we often expect from tools in signal processing, statistics, geometric modelling or approximation theory. The old and well-established theory behind this concept, however, has...

As the need for sustainable, high-performance materials grows, creating eco-friendly alternatives to traditional composites has become increasingly critical. Renewable biomaterials, including bioplastics and natural fibers, offer a promising pathway toward sustainability. However, their incorporation in composites typically necessitates high-energy processing...

The Applied Thermal Engineering Laboratory at the Guangdong Technion – Israel Institute of Technology was established in 2022 with the main goal of studying energy conversion in fuel-consuming equipment and the associated problems in thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and...

Acoustic levitation (AL) is a technique that employs ultrasonic sound waves to suspend and manipulate small objects in mid-air at specific locations. This method leverages a nonlinear phenomenon called acoustic radiation forces (ARF), which arise from a high-intensity acoustic field....
