This book contains the key themes and insights from the presentations and posters presented at the Seventh International Workshop on the TianQin Science Mission (TQ7). TianQin, a Chinese space-based gravitational wave detection mission was initiated in 2014 and has since achieved several significant milestones, including the launch of the TianQin-1 experimental satellite. The construction of the TianQin-2 experimental satellites is currently underway, with a projected launch date set for 2...

This book introduces the most inspiring progress in the production of ferronickel from laterite ores, from both theoretical and technological perspectives. Based on a detailed overview of nickel utilization from laterite ores, it provides the advances of four main methods for laterite ore processing, including the solid-sate reduction-magnetic separation process, the rotary kiln reduction-electric arc furnace smelting process, the Krupp-Renn process, and the sintering-blast furnace smeltin...

This book highlights the fundamentals and practical methods of metamaterials-based optical and radio frequency sensing. Combined with engineering practices, the book illustrates in detail wide frequency electromagnetic signal cloaking and the detection behavior of metasurfaces, including the structure of metasurfaces, electric-controlled behaviors, layout design and fabrication methods, and related experiment results. This book is expected to inspire the research and development of new opt...

This book introduces a unique 3D printing method that prints metal parts by ejecting metal micro-droplets: a low-cost, contactless, and environmentally friendly 3D printing technology. This book follows a deductive approach to describe the fundamentals of metal droplet-based 3D printing and reveal the relationships and unique features among multiple specific techniques used in droplet-based 3D printing. It starts with a general description of the principles and techniques involved in this ...

This book provides an overview of the brand construction process of manufacturing enterprises in Zhejiang province, China. There are now a number of industry-leading enterprises that are trying to build their own brands and manufacture products of higher quality in Zhejiang. The first chapter focuses on the place branding strategy employed by the Zhejiang Provincial Government in launching the “ZhejiangMade” brand to improve the perception of products made by Zhejiang manufacturing firms a...

CMOS Past, Present and Future provides insight from the basics, to the state-of-the-art of CMOS processing and electrical characterization, including the integration of Group IV semiconductors-based photonics. The book goes into the pitfalls and opportunities associated with the use of hetero-epitaxy on silicon with strain engineering and the integration of photonics and high-mobility channels on a silicon platform. It begins with the basic definitions and equations, but extends to present...
