119. Investigation of pore scale phenomena in CCS applications using X-ray Micro Computed TomographyGiacomo Luani (NTNU)16/06/2025, 15:45
The effects of climate change make atmospheric CO2 reductions a necessity. This effort is mostly represented by Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere and its transport to safe and permanent storage. Injecting, trapping and storing CO2 within the subsurface requires a deep understanding of the geological and geophysical processes that are involved. At the pore...

A tunable cryogenic thermoelectric generator needs a high conversion factor between electricity and heat and a large change in the thermoelectric output when switching the magnetic state of the device. Recent studies have revealed magnetically controllable thermoelectric effects in superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) structures. However, the reported modifications in thermoelectric power are...

Pattern recognition is fundamental to human nature that has allowed humanity to evolve and thrive. As a result, we have a natural affinity for patterns that exist all around us in the natural world, from honeycomb to constellations. Here, we present the pattern formation of colloidal droplets allowed to dry slowly in a vertical confinement. The pattern left behind is a unique labyrinth of...

Over the past decades, numerous observations and model studies have provided substantial evidence that energetic particle precipitation (EPP) affects the chemistry and dynamics of the stratosphere. Concurrently, the significance of stratospheric dynamics, particularly in winter short-range and seasonal forecasts, has been highlighted. However, there has been little effort to integrate the...

It has been a long-standing problem in quantum integrability whether Reshetikhin's condition, which provides a three-local conserved charge, implies the existence of sufficient many mutually commuting local charges that guarantee integrability. In an attempt to answer this question, I reveal the discrete conformal algebra hidden in Yang-Baxter integrable 1D systems, and propose a practical...

By means of laser optical pumping and Larmor-resonance detection, it is possible to use the naturally occurring sodium layer in the mesosphere to measure Earth’s magnetic field magnitude at 90 km above ground. This is an altitude otherwise only accessible by rockets, which only will provide point measurements of very short time scales.

The triple-alpha process is one of the most fundamental processes in stellar nucleosynthesis, particularly the production of $^{12}$C. This process entails the fusion of three helium nuclei to form an intermediate state in $^{12}$C. This intermediate state can decay back into its three constituent alpha particles or radiatively decay to form stable $^{12}$C. At temperatures between 0.1 - 2 GK,...

Charmonium production has long been recognized as a key probe for studying the properties of the quark–gluon plasma (QGP). The early formation of heavy-quark pairs, such as $c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$, makes charmonia ideal tools for investigating the evolution of the hot and dense medium created in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. At LHC energies, the recombination of uncorrelated...

A major challenge in cancer chemotherapy is the targeted delivery of drugs to tumor cells.

In nuclear fission, a heavy nucleus typically divides into two fission fragments. The fragments are observed to have an angular momentum of 6-7 $\hbar$ on average, the mechanism behind this generation of angular momentum is still not fully understood.
