Swelling under constraints: Exploiting 3D-Printing to Optimize the Performance of Gel-Based Devices

Submitted by noyco on

Check out our new work at Advanced Materials Technologies

Simuli-responsive hydrogels that swell under constraints such as spatial geometric confinement are commonly employed in many applications to perform mechanical work. In this contribution, we present a simple 3D-printing based method to quantify the mechanical interactions between the gels and their environment. Our findings underscore the potential of gels in the design of actuators, sensors, biomedical devices, etc…

Data-Driven State of Health Estimation for Lithium-Ion Batteries Based on Universal Feature Selection

Submitted by zhan-sheng guo on

A simple yet effective health indicator (HI)-based data-driven model forecasting the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and thus enabling their efficient management is developed. Five HIs with high physical significance and predictive power extracted from voltage, current, and temperature profiles are used as model inputs. The generalizability and robustness of the proposed ridge regression–based linear regularization model are assessed using three NASA datasets containing information on the behavior of batteries over a wide range of temperatures and discharge rates.

Postdoctoral Associate- Nanoscale Mechanics

Submitted by Yasin Dhaher on

We are searching for a Postdoctoral Associate in collagen and single-molecule biophysics in the laboratory of Drs. Dhaher and Lin. We seek an enthusiastic and talented postdoc to develop and apply state-of-the-art atomic force microscopy (AFM) to elucidate the dynamics and energetics of single biomolecules and their interactions with collagen.
