Multidirectional Cylindrical Piezoelectric Force Sensor: Design and Experimental Validation

A common design concept of the piezoelectric force sensor, which is to assemble a bump structure from a flat or fine columnar piezoelectric structure or to use a specific type of electrode, is quite limited. In this paper, we propose a new ...

Soft Robotics

This description of "soft robotics" is not intended to be a conventional review, in the sense of a comprehensive technical summary of a developing field. Rather, its objective is to describe soft robotics as a new field-one that offers oppo...

Quantum Computing

Quantum Computing The twenty-first century has witnessed remarkable advancements in computing technologies, transforming every aspect of modern society. As conventional computing systems approach their physical and computational limits, the...

Dislocation- and crosshatch-free high-mobility silicon two-dimensional electron gases

Si/SiGe heterostructures play pivotal roles in both gate-all-around technology for integrated circuits and spin qubits for quantum computing. Here, we report dislocation-free Si/SiGe heterostructures grown via molecular beam epitaxy on stra...

From molecules to data: the emerging impact of chemoinformatics in chemistry

Abstract Chemoinformatics is a rapidly advancing field that integrates chemistry, computer science, and data analysis to enhance the study and application of chemical systems. This interdisciplinary approach leverages computational tools an...

Efficient thermal dissipation in wafer-scale heterogeneous integration of single-crystalline β-Ga2O3 thin film on SiC

The semiconductor, β-Ga2O3 is attractive for applications in high power electronic devices with low conduction loss due to its ultra-wide bandgap (∼4.9 eV) and large Baliga's figure of merit. However, the thermal conductivity of β-Ga2O3 is ...

Prospects of quantum computing for molecular sciences

Abstract Molecular science is governed by the dynamics of electrons and atomic nuclei, and by their interactions with electromagnetic fields. A faithful physicochemical understanding of these processes is crucial for the design and synthesi...

Materials challenges and opportunities for quantum computing hardware

Quantum computing hardware technologies have advanced during the past two decades, with the goal of building systems that can solve problems that are intractable on classical computers. The ability to realize large-scale systems depends on ...

Oxidation‐etching induced morphology regulation of Cu catalysts for high‐performance electrochemical N2 reduction

Abstract Renewable‐electricity‐driven N2 reduction is an attractive approach for ambient NH3 synthesis, but active electrocatalysts are needed to enable the N2 reduction reaction. Monolithic electrodes with active components anchored on con...

Loss of Dead end1 induces testicular teratomas from primordial germ cells that failed to undergo sexual differentiation in embryonic testes

Abstract Spontaneous testicular teratomas (STTs) are tumours comprising a diverse array of cell and tissue types, which are derived from pluripotent stem-like cells called embryonal carcinoma cells (ECCs). Although mouse ECCs originate from...

Lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidation caused by dental filling materials

Background/purpose: The two direct dental restorative materials most commonly used today are silver-mercury amalgam and resin-based composites. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of these two restorative materials and subs...

Liquid lithium wettability studies on novel zirconium-alloyed porous tungsten

Liquid lithium wettability has been investigated on novel zirconium-alloyed porous tungsten fabricated by the place-holder spark plasma sintering technique. This paper investigates the wetting properties of liquid lithium on the substrates ...

The Microstructures and Electrical Resistivity of (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNiOx High-Entropy Alloy Oxide Thin Films

The (Al, Cr, Ti)FeCoNi alloy thin films were deposited by PVD and using the equimolar targets with same compositions from the concept of high-entropy alloys. The thin films became metal oxide films after annealing at vacuum furnace for a pe...

Effect of Surface Roughness on Adhesive Instabilities for the Elastic Layer

If an incompressible elastic layer bonded to a rigid plane is placed close to a second rigid plane, adhesive interactions between the surfaces can cause elastic instabilities. These lead to spatially non-uniform traction and gap distributio...

Study on the preparation of multifunctional bacterial cellulose-based wound dressings and their in vitro hemostatic performance

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a favored material for medical wound dressings due to its biocompatibility and water-holding capacity, yet it lacks inherent antibacterial and hemostatic capabilities. To enhance its functionality, a nov...
