(author)We report measured T<sub>c</sub> of superconducting Ti/Au bilayer strips with a width W varying from 5 to 50 µm. The strips were fabricated based on a Ti/Au bilayer that consists of a 41-nm-thick Ti layer to which a 280-nm-thick Au layer was added. We find that the T<sub>c</sub> drops as W decreases and the declining trend almost perfectly...journal article 2022

van der Sar, S.J. (author), Brunner, Stefan (author), Schaart, D.R. (author)We investigate X-ray photon-counting scintillation detectors with silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) readout. These circumvent some drawbacks of direct-conversion detectors. We measured observed count rate (OCR) versus X-ray tube current for single-pixel detectors consisting of LYSO:Ce and YAP:Ce scintillators coupled to ultrafast SiPMs. For a 30...journal article 2022

(author), Younes, S.H.H. (author)The synthesis of aldehydes from carboxylic acids has long been a challenge in chemistry. In contrast to the harsh chemically driven reduction, enzymes such as carboxylic acid reductases (CARs) are considered appealing biocatalysts for aldehyde production. Although structures of single- and didomains of microbial CARs have been reported, to...journal article 2022
