The Oligocene age Boom Clay is a potential host material for radioactive waste disposal in
Belgium. To better understand the physical basis of transport mechanisms of radionuclides, …

The technology for producing microelectrode arrays (MEAs) has been developing since the
1970s and extracellular electrophysiological recordings have become well established in …

A central goal in microbiome research is to learn what distinguishes a healthy from a
dysbiotic microbial community. Shifts in diversity and taxonomic composition are important …

We present a multi-scale 3D analysis of the pore network in a Rotliegend reservoir sandstone,
both at the scale of the sand grains and the scale of the diagenetic clay cements that grow …

Background Bacterial invasion through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) during
bacterial meningitis causes secretion of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines followed by …

Aims To explore the ultrastructure of interstitial cells in the upper lamina propria of the human
bladder, to describe the spatial relationships and to investigate cell‐cell contacts. Methods …

The authors investigated the effect of an applied high voltage (1 kV) across the thickness of
a soda-lime glass substrate of Cu(In,Ga)Se 2 (CIGS) thin-film solar cells. Two types of CIGS …

Sodium-activated calcium bentonite is used as a binder in iron ore pellets and is known to
increase strength of both wet and dry iron ore green pellets. In this article, the microstructure of …

Perovskite solar cells promise to deliver high efficiencies at low manufacturing costs. Yet on
their way towards commercialization, they have to face the associated risk of potential lead …

State of the art electrophysiological experiments use technical devices where an electrode–cell
pair can be used to stimulate neurons and to record neuronal answers to these stimuli …
