Summary: In this study, a multi-physics electrical contact model is developed to accurately predict the distributions of contact pressure, temperature, and electric current density on the contact surface. The model takes into account interfacial electrical resistance and Joule heating. Theoretical calculations and numerical simulations demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the proposed model.

Summary: Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven separation process that is challenged by high energy consumption and membrane degradation. The use of electrically conductive membranes (ECMs) shows promise in overcoming these challenges. This review consolidates recent advances in ECMs, including conductive materials, membrane fabrication methodologies, and applications in MD.

Summary: Contact resistances are important in Joule heating systems. Measuring the contact resistances between metal roller electrodes and carbon fiber tows provides a better understanding and improves the accuracy of the heating process. The study shows that contact resistances in the towpregging line are significant and contact resistance heating changes the heating profile.

Summary: The research demonstrates the direct observation of vibrational heating in a single C60 molecule using TERS, revealing qualitatively different heating mechanisms in distinct electron transport regimes. Strong Joule heating occurs in the SMPC regime, while optical heating is predominant in the tunneling regime.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the effect of current injection on the surface junction of Bi-2212 by conducting a series of experiments on samples with different doping levels. We found that electronic doping can restore the superconducting properties of Bi-2212 by increasing the hole concentration.

Summary: This study systematically investigates the Seebeck effect in nano scale p-MTJs induced by Joule heating. Experimental results show a sign change of the thermovoltage between different magnetic states, indicating the significant dependence of the Seebeck effect on the magnetic state of the p-MTJ. The efficiency of energy re-use can be improved by optimizing the non-magnetic layers.

Summary: Modeling ski friction requires understanding of the ski-snow contact; therefore, we implemented Euler-Bernoulli beam equations to simulate the contact of a cross-country skiing ski. The apparent contact area and pressure distribution were calculated based on the ski's penetration depth using a hypoplastic force-penetration relation of snow. The study found that the contact area and pressure distribution are influenced by factors such as normal load, snow hardness, ski stiffness, and camber.

Summary: This study provides a detailed understanding of nucleation kinetics, induction time, and supersaturation in membrane distillation crystallization. By increasing the membrane area, the supersaturation rate can be controlled without modifying the boundary layer conditions. The study reveals that increasing supersaturation reduces induction time and increases the level of supersaturation at the start of crystallization. This study also challenges the existing literature by showing that increasing supersaturation can minimize membrane scaling.

Summary: This article introduces two methods for measuring variations in contact area - an improved fingertip imaging technique and an acoustic energy absorption and reflection method. The ultrasonic method, utilizing a recently developed model, provides precise measurements and shows good agreement with the fingertip imaging technique. These methods are essential for studying human grasping, understanding friction perception, and controlling surface-haptic devices.

Summary: This paper compares the contact resistance values estimated using both DC and impedance spectroscopic data of alkanethiolate SAM-based molecular junctions reported previously. It shows that DC measurements alone fail to show the actual molecular behaviour of the junction for molecular tunnel junctions with a resistive protective layer (PL), while impedance measurements estimate the actual values of contact resistance and identify the bottlenecks in charge transport through such a defective molecular junction.
