Tunable Plug‐and‐Play Meta‐Nanogenerator Materials for Multi‐Range Force Measurements

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The multifunctional and tunable meta‐nanogenerator material system combines a mechanical metamaterial and a triboelectric nanogenerator enabling self‐powered, real‐time force sensing across application‐specific ranges. Geometrical tuning adjusts stiffness and the force sensing range, while modular integration streamlines assembly.

Advancing Energy Materials by In Situ Atomic Scale Methods

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
Progress in in situ atomic scale methods leads to an improved understanding of new and advanced energy materials, where a local understanding of complex, inhomogeneous systems or interfaces down to the atomic scale and quantum level is required. Topics from photovoltaics, dissipation losses, phase transitions, and chemical energy conversion are ...

3D investigation and modeling of the geometric effects on porosity in packed beds

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In porous beds, physical boundaries restrict particle arrangement, leading to inhomogeneous porosity. This paper reports on the porosity profiles that are the result of geometric effects on monodisperse packed beds in cylindrical and cubic arrangements. Special focus is given to the influence of edges and corners in cubic geometries.
