Force chains and networks: wet suspensions through dry granular eyes

, 2019
Recent advances in shear-thickening suspension rheology suggest a relation between (wet) suspension flow below jamming and (dry) granular physics. To probe this connection, we simulated the contact force networks in suspensions of non-Brownian spheres ...

Self‐Adaptive Gradient Interphase Enables Durable Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a machine learning‐guided interfacial design that forms a self‐adaptive graded interphase on lithium metal anode. A B105M40 composite interlayer evolves into lithiophilic, porous, and fast‐ion‐conducting phases, enabling intimate contact, dendrite suppression, and uniform lithium deposition.

Scalable Fabrication of Thermally Reconfigurable Ge Metasurfaces Using Stencil Lithography for Mid‐Infrared Molecular Fingerprinting

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Scalable stencil lithography enables resist‐free fabrication of high‐index Ge metasurfaces for mid‐infrared molecular fingerprinting. Reversible thermo‐optic tuning provides post‐fabrication spectral control for precise resonance–vibration mode alignment, enabling enhanced molecular fingerprinting of microplastic particles.

A Systemic Shift towards Hydroclimatic Whiplash in India: Event-Based Evidence of Escalating Dry-Wet Transitions since 1951

Abstract. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the evolution of hydroclimatic extremes, dry spells (DS), wet spells (WS), and their rapid transitions (whiplash) across India from 1951 till 2019. A marked reorganization of extremes emerged around the 1980s regime shift, characterized by widespread intensification of WS and a 40 % rise in DS-

Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...
