Electrolyte droplet spraying in H2 bubbles during water electrolysis under normal and microgravity conditions
Electrolyte spraying
The main phenomenon under study, spray formation inside a H2 bubble during water electrolysis, is presented in Fig. 1. This observation was made under microgravity conditions provided by parabolic flights of an Airbus A31041….

Exploring phonon mediated superconductivity of $$\hbox {LiB}_{{2}} \hbox {N}_{{2}}$$ and $$\hbox {LiC}_{{2}} \hbox {N}_{{2}}$$ under high pressure insight from first-principles calculations
Initiating structural prediction involves exploring a range of materials. Our investigation reveals that \(\hbox {LiB}_{{2}} \hbox {N}_{{2}}\) and \(\hbox {LiC}_{{2}} \hbox {N}_{{2}}\) remain thermodynamically stable at pressures of at least 100…

Unsupervised detection of semantic correlations in big data
Bayesian inference of the BID by Markov Chain Monte Carlo
The parameters of model (2) can be found minimizing Eq. (4), as we did in our work, or alternative using the Metropolis Hastings algorithm on model (2), with a flat prior. Here we sample…
