Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Unraveling the Impact of Electrosorbed Ions on the Scaling Behavior of Fast‐Charging Dynamics of Nanoporous Electrodes Toward Digital Design of Iontronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Electrosorbed ions under nanoconfinement (see TOC figure) critically reshape electrochemical potentials and impact ion transport in porous electrodes. By integrating modified Poisson–Nernst–Planck simulations with multilayered graphene membrane experiments, this study establishes a scaling relation and reveals electrosorption‐enhanced transport ...

Unraveling the Effects of Improved Cooling and Bias Force in the Actuation of a Shape‐Memory Soft Multimaterial Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study examines a soft gripper with a NiTiCu6 Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire embedded in a graphene nanoparticle (GNP)‐functionalized PDMS matrix. Comparing GNP‐enhanced and plain elastomer prototypes, results show that GNPs improve cooling rates, accelerating release by 40%, but increase energy consumption in low‐current activations.

Conservation tillage is not conservation agriculture [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Soil and Water Conservation, 2015
A LOOMING COLLISION: GLOBAL POPULATION AND FOOD SECURITY As world population increases and food production demands rise, keeping our soil healthy and productive while protecting the environment is of paramount importance for agriculture. The expanding global population—expected to reach 9.5 billion people by 2050 (United Nations 2014)—is putting ...
