The integrity and safety of reinforced concrete structures are of paramount importance in civil engineering. Detection of flaws in prestressed tendons, especially those buried at critical depths greater than 20 cm, presents a significant challenge. Magnetic flux leakage (MFL) is a non ... Read More
Spinal cord injury triggers an initial inflammatory response followed by scar tissue formation, hindering the repair of severed neural tracts and sensorimotor function.1 Injectable hydrogels consisting of a water-swollen polymer network can be engineered to mimic the environment of ... Read More
The discharge of an alkaline Zn anode involves the conversion of Zn metal to solid ZnO through the zincate ion. With the heterogeneous dissolution of Zn and mobility of zincate in the electrolyte, complex radial distributions of Zn and ZnO have been observed to occur in the anodes of ... Read More
In diatomic molecules, the anti-bonding eigenstate is the higher energy state as the chemical bond is weakened between the two atoms due to the destructive interference of electronic wavefunctions. It is counterintuitive for the anti-bonding state to have lower energy given the bonding ... Read More
The scale up of electrical energy storage is one of the great technological challenges of our time as the world must quickly transform its energy infrastructure away from fossil fuels. Companies striving to commercialize new battery technologies must solve numerous electrochemical, ... Read More
Fast mixing of reagents in microfluidic devices is important for DNA sequencing, mRNA vaccine production in small-batch pharmaceutical processes, and point-of-care diagnostics. A key challenge in microfluidics is mixing reagents rapidly in a minimal amount of space. One way to do this is ... Read More
Artificial muscles are materials or devices that mimic the motion of muscles and can change their shape and stiffness in response to external stimuli. We consider pneumatic soft actuators with fiber reinforcements designed to contract upon pressurization and mimic the motion of skeletal ... Read More
The incorporation of two dimensional MXenes with perovskite solar cells have garnered much attention in recent years. MXenes of the form Ti3C2Tx have shown unique electrical capabilities due to its surface terminating functional group, Tx. Additionally, the inclusion of this material to ... Read More
There has been a great amount of interest in nanopores as the basis for sensors and templates for preparation of biomimetic channels as well as model systems to understand transport properties at the nanoscale. The presence of surface charges on the pore walls has been shown to induce ... Read More
Polymers are increasingly used in many sectors, including consumer products and electronics, automotive and aerospace industries, medical devices and biopharma, and clean energy and batteries. These industries extensively use Multiphysics simulation to predict product performance, ... Read More
