Nanolattices exhibit attractive mechanical, energy conversion, and optical properties, but it is challenging to fabricate nanolattices in large scale while maintaining the dense hierarchical nanometer features that enable their properties. […]
For over 6,000 years, repairing high-strength metallic materials has required high temperatures and large energy inputs. Likewise, recent innovations in self-healing and repairable metals have remained limited by the need […]
Different from neuron-based computational intelligence through the brain, physical intelligence leverages structural designs and smart materials to physically encode sensing, actuation, control, adaption, and decision-making into the body of an […]
Manipulation of particles in micro and nano scale has been invaluable in a variety of scenarios in applied physics, chemistry and biomedicine. Acoustic microfluidics has emerged as a powerful and […]
In response to the grave and escalating threat of climate change, the US Department of Energy has announced a series of ambitious Energy Earth Shot Initiatives. These target an 80% […]
The increasing demand for structural metals has driven increasingly complex compositions, which bring critical challenges in processing of these materials. Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is a disruptive technology […]
Exergy-based methods are powerful tools for developing, evaluating, understanding, and improving energy conversion systems. In addition to conventional methods, advanced exergy-based analyses consider (a) the interactions among components of the […]
Abstract: Flow-induced noise is a significant problem for air, road and marine vehicles as well as many other engineering applications. At low Mach numbers, large disparities in energy levels and […]
The intense noise radiated by supersonic jets leads to sound-induced structural vibration, fatigue and personnel-related operational difficulties. Experimental, theoretical, and computational investigations into the physics and control of jet noise […]
In recent years polymer chemists have made tremendous strides in the synthesis of biocompatible, tough, self-healing hydrogels. However, there are not many comprehensive mechanical models that capture the observed time […]
