A droplet-based electricity generator with high instantaneous power density, Xu, Zheng, etc., Wang, Zeng, Wang, Nature, 2020
Novelty/impact/significance:
A novel water droplet-based electricity generator with significantly high instantaneous power density, several orders of magnitude higher over conventional equivalent ones, is developed. A new operating mechanism through the ingenious device design is presented.

2 MSc positions are available in the Shock Physic and Chemistry Lab (https://shock.bit.edu.cn/Home/index.htm) in Beijing Institute of Technology. The research topic is in the area of mechanics of biomaterials. Theoretical and computational modeling along with 3D printing and experimental characterization will be conducted for a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of bioceramics. The candidates will work under the supervision of Dr. Xie Jing and Dr. Ali Arab.
The University of Limerick (Ireland) is seeking candidates for the position of Professor of Aerospace Engineering.
Salary Scale: €120,262 - €154,506 p.a.
Areas of specialisation sought:Flight dynamics, aerospace control systems and/or aerospace vehicle design (“aerospace” here means spacecraft or aircraft, including UAVs and/or drones).

The effects of applied load on the formation and reorientation of deltahydrides in alpha-zirconium matrix are studied by a multiphase field model. Simulations with only one hydride seed indicate that the hydride reorientation occurs only when a tensile or compressive strain of ~0.02 is applied along [112-0] (hoop or circumferential direction) or [0001] (radial direction aligned with the basal pole direction), respectively.
Application deadline: 28 February 2021
