Cleaning up the cosmological constant
, 2012 We present a novel idea for screening the vacuum energy contribution to the overall value of the cosmological constant, thereby enabling us to choose the bare value of the vacuum curvature empirically, without any need to worry about the zero-point ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Excellent combinations of strength and impact toughness are obtained in a bilayer composite of high‐strength carbide‐free bainitic (CFB) steel and high‐ductility twinning‐induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. The composite absorbs energy at small strains when the notch is placed on the TWIP side and at high strains when the notch is placed on the CFB side ...

Transient Thermal Behavior of Internal Short-circuit in Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2018 Thermal safety is the most important issue in Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery applications because of the large amount of energy stored inside them and also because of their great sensitivity to the conditions in which these batteries are used ...

An Inkjet‐Printed Platinum‐Based Temperature Sensing Element on Polyimide Substrates
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An inkjet‐printed, meander‐structured, nanoparticle platinum‐based resistive temperature sensors on polyimide substrates are demonstrated as proof‐of‐concept. Optimized sintering at 250°C enables stable conductive structures. The Pt100‐ and Pt1000‐type sensors exhibit linear resistance–temperature characteristics with stable TCR in the 20°C–80°C range,

Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...
