Magnetized target fusion (MTF) is a promising approach to achieve fusion conditions that relies on the heating of a magnetized plasma by the rapid compression of a magnetic flux conserver. The compression timescale must be significantly shorter than the plasma’s thermal confinement time, ... En savoir plus
Skin, the largest organ in the body, comprises three major layers: the epidermis, dermis, and adipose tissue. Its complex microstructure results in non-linear stress-strain responses when subjected to large deformations, necessitating non-linear constitutive relations like the Mooney ... En savoir plus
This research introduces an electro-optic modulator based on a Metal-Semiconductor (M-S) junction, aimed at advancing functional plasmonic circuits through active control of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) at the interfaces of M-S devices. To evaluate the device's performance, we ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
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 ...

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 ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
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, ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
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 ... En savoir plus
