Quantum Saturation of the Electro‐Optic Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
At low temperatures, quantum fluctuations saturate the ferroelectric soft mode, suppressing thermal sensitivity in functional properties. By tuning the phase boundaries of ferroelectric materials to 0 K, large temperature insensitive electro‐optic effects are realized, establishing a pathway toward high‐efficiency optical modulation for quantum ...

Reducing Interfacial Separation Force in High‐Speed Constrained‐Surface Projection Stereolithography Using a Dual‐Modulus Silicone Release Film

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A dual‐modulus silicone release film creates distributed stress concentrations at high‐/low‐modulus boundaries, triggering multi‐site crack initiation and rapid interfacial detachment. The architecture lowers the peak separation force by 97.6%, shortens detachment time, and enables stable continuous projection stereolithography at 720 mm h−1, offering ...

Kyoto and the Carbon Footprint of Nations [PDF]

open access: yes
A country’s carbon footprint refers to the CO 2 emissions caused by domestic absorptionactivities. Trade in goods drives a wedge between the footprint and local emissions. Weprovide a panel database on carbon footprints and carbon net trade.

Light‐Controlled Localized Delamination and Blistering of Azobenzene‐Containing Polymer Thin Films in an Aqueous Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
When exposed to light of a defined wavelength, the photoisomerization of azobenzene chromophores leads to polymer reorientation, generating stresses that result in solvent‐facilitated localized delamination of the film from the substrate. Additionally, blisters that form spontaneously when exposed to an aqueous environment can be manipulated via ...

Blast tube design: How shape and size influence the resultant shock wave

open access: yesAIP Advances
Shock tubes and tunnels are often used in research settings as a way of producing high pressure shock waves in a smaller footprint or without the use of explosives. However, there is no standard geometric design across laboratories.

Leveraging Mechanical Resonances for the Selection of Promising Materials in Complex Phase Spaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A central challenge in materials science is the design of new functional materials with enhanced performance for targeted applications. This paper demonstrates that “listening” to materials through measuring their mechanical resonances is a rich, and largely untapped, platform for the rapid identification of promising novel compounds and a powerful ...
