Developing Soft Interconnected Microchannel Network for 2D Skin-Like Actuator. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
A soft interconnected network of microchannels is proposed to develop new pneumatic actuators for future bio‐inspired soft robots. Simultaneous stimulation of this network generates regional asymmetric strains in walls of microchannels whose interaction across the entire surface leads to bending curvatures in multidimensions.

Spontaneous Cyclic Levitation of Glycerol-Water Droplets at Low Pressures. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Under low pressure, a minute glycerol addition transforms the chaotic dynamics of freezing water droplets into cyclic levitation. Freeze‐concentration preserves liquid pathways that relax expansion‐induced stress, while freezing point depression weakens asymmetric vaporization recoil.

Numerical Investigation of Depressurization through Horizontal Wells in Methane-Hydrate-Bearing Sediments Considering Sand Production

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Sand production has been identified as a key reason limiting sustained and commercial gas production in methane-hydrate-bearing sediments. Production tests in Canada and Japan were terminated partially because of excessive sand production in pilot wells.
