Design and construction of a carbon fiber gondola for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope

, 2014
We introduce the light-weight carbon fiber and aluminum gondola designed for the SPIDER balloon-borne telescope. SPIDER is designed to measure the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation with unprecedented sensitivity and control of ...

Event‐Driven Elongation Monitor for Soft Devices Using a Deformation‐Activated Piezoconductive Switch

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A stretchable, event‐driven strain sensor with low energy consumption is developed using positive piezoconductive composites. These composites remain insulative when relaxed, while they become conductive when stretched. Their electrical characteristics are modifiable by the nickel's weight ratio and cross‐sectional geometry. Strain‐induced switching is

Oligomerization‐Induced Supramolecular Glass with Superior Processability and Optical Functions

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Oligomerization‐induced supramolecular glass (BGG) is formed via a catalyst‐free melt‐quenching strategy from benzoguanamine. The in situ formation of diverse oligomers suppresses crystallization, enabling glass formation. BGG exhibits a high Tg (100.1 °C), polymer‐like modulus, and bright aggregation‐induced emission, and is readily processed into ...

LESSONS FROM A BALLOON

, 2022
Leading historians, anthropologists, educators and designers explore the role of materiality in medical education. With a broad focus, international scope and experimental format, this is the first book to seriously reflect on the material relationship between the medical school and reproduction of medical knowledge.

Low‐Strain Flexible Ink‐Based Sensors Enable Hyperelastic Inflation Perception Via Geometric Patterning for Balloon‐Type Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Integrating proprioceptive capabilities in balloon‐type robots enhances safe human–machine interactions. Traditional pressure estimates are inadequate due to nonlinear relationships. Instead, embedding stretchable sensors effectively measures deformation. This design optimizes sensor geometry to minimize damage risks.
