    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus and method for generating a plurality of substantially collimated charged particle beamlets. The apparatus includes a charged particle source for generating a diverging charged particle beam, a beam splitter for splitting the charged particle beam in an array of charged particle beamlets, a deflector array includes an array of deflectors including one deflector for each charged particle beamlet of said array of charged particle beamlets, wherein the deflector array is configured for substantially collimating the array of diverging charged particle beamlets. The apparatus further includes a beam manipulation device configured for generating electric and/or magnetic fields at least in an area between the charged particle source and the deflector array. The apparatus has a central axis, and the beam manipulation device is configured for generating electric and/or magnetic fields substantially parallel to the central axis and substantially perpendicular to the central axis.

    Abstract: An energy apparatus comprising at least one functional unit including a first cell comprising a first cell electrode and at least one first cell opening for a first cell aqueous liquid and for a first cell gas. The first cell electrode comprises an iron-based electrode; a second cell comprising a second cell electrode and at least one second cell opening for a second cell aqueous liquid and for a second cell gas. The second cell electrode comprises at least one metal comprising 60-99.9 at. % nickel, and 0.1-35 at. % iron and a separator. The first cell and the second cell share the separator which is configured to block transport of at least one of O2 and H2 from one cell to another while having permeability for at least one of hydroxide ions (OH−) monovalent sodium (Na+), monovalent lithium (Li+) and monovalent potassium (K+).

    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, an apparatus comprising: a membrane having a first side and a second side, wherein the membrane has first and second pores disposed therein, a processing system; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations comprising: setting a first physical characteristic in a vicinity of the first pore to cause a first end of a molecule having the first end and a second end to be moved through the first pore; setting a second physical characteristic in a vicinity of the second pore to cause the second end of the molecule to be moved through the second pore; and adjusting the first physical characteristic to cause the molecule to be tightened, with a first given amount of force, between the first pore and the second pore. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
