In der Fortsetzung der Kreator-Trilogie prallen Welten aufeinander. Der brüchige Friede war nie in größerer Gefahr. Keylam Baine versucht fieberhaft, die Daten der künstlichen Intelligenz zu entschlüsseln. Sein an Besessenheit grenzender Eifer führt ihn in ein persönliches Drama, das ihn aus der Bahn zu werfen droht. Juna wird unterdessen immer mehr in den Bann der Retrobewegung gezogen und erfährt schmerzhaft, wie gefährlich es ist, sich mitreißen zu lassen. Die Distanz zwischen den Liebenden bringt beide näher an ihre persönlichen Ziele, treibt sie dabei jedoch auseinander. Während all dessen bricht eine junge Frau aus dem Wildland in das Abenteuer ihres Lebens auf. Zusammen mit einem Begleiter hat sie den Auftrag übernommen, nach einer Lösung für das Energieproblem ihrer Siedlung zu suchen. Während der gefährlichen Reise erwacht ihre Neugier auf die Städter. Das Ziel scheint mit Händen greifbar, doch für Mana gibt es Grenzen, im Gegensatz zu ihrem Begleiter.
Since their discovery in 2011, MXenes (2D carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides of early transition metals) have developed into one of the largest and most intensively studied families of 2D materials. They offer unique properties and are being explored in a large variety of applications. This book compiles the most important research from a pioneer of the field, Professor Yury Gogotsi, and his interdisciplinary research team, as well as numerous collaborators worldwide. It reports on the discovery and rise of MXenes and describes their synthesis and processing, properties, and incorporation into polymer, ceramic, and metal matrices to produce composites. It also discusses the potential of MXenes for use in energy storage, optics, electronics, and sensing, as well as biomedical, environmental, and electrocatalysis applications. The book will appeal to anyone interested in nanomaterials and their synthesis, properties, and applications.
Die Welt der Zukunft ist nicht dieselbe - die Menschheit ist nicht dieselbe. Der Wissenschaftler Keylam Baine lebt in einer Gesellschaft, die Vernunft und Emotionen trennt. Es ist ein Leben, das ihn zwischen diesen Polen zu zerreißen droht. Als er von rätselhaften Visionen geplagt wird, stellt sich eine Frage: Ist es sein Verstand, der ihm Streiche spielt oder versucht etwas Kontakt aufzunehmen, das nicht von dieser Welt ist? Als wäre das nicht schon schwer genug zu meistern, verliebt er sich in eine Frau, die seine rationalen Gewissheiten ins Wanken bringt. Liebe und Erkenntnis zwingen ihn zu einer Gratwanderung, auf der Geheimnisse und Lügen mit kaum akzeptablen Wahrheiten kämpfen und ihn zwingen, Position zu beziehen. Falsch zu wählen kann er sich dabei nicht leisten. Der Kreator zeigt eine Welt, wie sie vielleicht bald schon existieren könnte. Mit Menschen, die anders sind und wieder werden wollen, was sie einst waren.
This book, divided in two volumes, originates from Techno-Societal 2018: the 2nd International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Societal Applications, Maharashtra, India, that brings together faculty members of various engineering colleges to solve Indian regional relevant problems under the guidance of eminent researchers from various reputed organizations. The focus is on technologies that help develop and improve society, in particular on issues such as the betterment of differently abled people, environment impact, livelihood, rural employment, agriculture, healthcare, energy, transport, sanitation, water, education. This conference aims to help innovators to share their best practices or products developed to solve specific local problems which in turn may help the other researchers to take inspiration to solve problems in their region. On the other hand, technologies proposed by expert researchers may find applications in different regions. This offers a multidisciplinary platform for researchers from a broad range of disciplines of Science, Engineering and Technology for reporting innovations at different levels.
The 21 chapters in this book presents a comprehensive overview of flexible supercapacitors using engineering nanoarchitectures mediated by functional nanomaterials and polymers as electrodes, electrolytes, and separators, etc. for advanced energy applications. The various aspects of flexible supercapacitors, including capacitor electrochemistry, evaluating parameters, operating conditions, characterization techniques, different types of electrodes, electrolytes, and flexible substrates are covered. This is probably the first book of its type which systematically describes the recent developments and progress in flexible supercapacitor technology, and will be very helpful for generating new and innovative ideas in the field of energy storage material for wearable/flexible industry applications.
This book presents the fundamental aspects, recent developments in fabrication and characterization techniques, structure, properties, and emerging applications of MXenes. It shows the advancement in scale-up, challenges, and their futuristic perspectives. An overview of all the latest developments in energy storage and conversion applications, catalysis, environmental remediation, and radiation shielding, etc is reported.
This is the very first book on the highly promising topic of MXenes; focusing on their fundamental characteristics and properties, fabrication techniques and applications. MXenes are two-dimensional materials consisting of few atoms thick layers of transition metal carbides or nitrides. These are characterized by high electrical conductivity, good hydrophilicity, chemical stability, and ultrathin 2D sheet-like morphology. Applications in the energy, environmental, biomedical and electronic industries include catalysis, membrane separation, supercapacitors, hybrid-ion capacitors, batteries, flexible electronics, hydrogen storage, nanoelectronics, and sensors.
As cyberattacks continue to grow in complexity and number, computational intelligence is helping under-resourced security analysts stay one step ahead of threats. Drawing on threat intelligence from millions of studies, blogs, and news articles, computational intelligence techniques such as machine learning and automatic natural language processing quickly provide the means to identify real threats and dramatically reduce response times. The book collects and reports on recent high-quality research addressing different cybersecurity challenges. It: explores the newest developments in the use of computational intelligence and AI for cybersecurity applications provides several case studies rel...
Battery technology is constantly changing, and the concepts and applications of these changes are rapidly becoming increasingly more important as more and more industries and individuals continue to make “greener” choices in their energy sources. As global dependence on fossil fuels slowly wanes, there is a heavier and heavier importance placed on cleaner power sources and methods for storing and transporting that power. Battery technology is a huge part of this global energy revolution. Potassium-ion batteries were first introduced to the world for energy storage in 2004, over two decades after the invention of lithium-ion batteries. Potassium-ion (or “K-ion”) batteries have many ad...
