Abstract: Abstract The potential use of changes in buoyancy as a reactivity feedback mechanism during temperature transients in heavy liquid metal fast reactors (HLMFRs) is discussed. It is shown that with the use of ballast pellets… read more here.

Abstract: In this Letter, we developed a sprayable superhydrophobic coating with micro-sized disorder indentations to survey the self-ejections of isolated slushes on it during the defrosting process. The microstructures, chemical composition, hydrophobic characteristics, and self-ejection phenomenon… read more here.
