Postdoc in Mechanics of Materials at University of Sydney, Australia

Submitted by Luming Shen on

An exciting research position for a Postdoctoral Research Associate is available
in a project to understand the dynamic properties of alloys and composites
under high strain rates. The project is funded by the Australian Research
Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence (CoE) for Design in Light Metals. As the
School is strengthening its research and teaching capabilities in the area of
Mechanics and Materials, this is an opportunity for individuals to expand on
their pre-existing research findings or to start a new research career. 

Looking for a postdoctoral position of synthesis and application of nanocomposites or other materials in energy storage

Submitted by xwguo on

    I am looking for a possible opening for a postdoctor concerning the synthesis and utilizations of nanomaterials and metal oxides nanocomposites or any other else in the energy-related materials. I am a PhD candidate now in Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and I will graduate in June 2012.



During my PhD, my work mainly focuses on the synthesis of nanomaterials and carbon materials and evaluate their electrochemical energy storage performances and explore other useful energy storage devices and tecnologies.

Harnessing snap-through instability in soft dielectrics to achieve giant voltage-triggered deformation

Submitted by Christoph Keplinger on

For a dielectric elastomer membrane we show giant voltage-triggered expansion of area by 1692%, far beyond the largest values reported in the literature.
