Unstable Giants

open access: yes, 2006
We find giant graviton solutions in Frolov's three parameter generalization of the Lunin-Maldacena background. The background we study has $\tilde{\gamma}_1=0$ and $\tilde{\gamma}_2=\tilde{\gamma}_3=\tilde{\gamma}$.

Mechanically Robust Phase‐Change Multiscale‐Architected Metastructures Integrating Asymmetric MXene/T‐CNF Aerogel for Thermal Energy Storage and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiscale‐architected phase change material (PCM) composite combines latent heat storage, PCM leakage proof, directional thermal conduction, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and mechanical reinforcement via asymmetric MXene/cellulose aerogel and 3D‐printed metastructures, enabling effective thermal regulation, strong EMI shielding, and ...

Spinning particles, axion radiation, and the classical double copy

open access: yes, 2018
We extend the perturbative double copy between radiating classical sources in gauge theory and gravity to the case of spinning particles. We construct, to linear order in spins, perturbative radiating solutions to the classical Yang-Mills equations ...

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...

Condensed matter applications of the Gauge/Gravity correspondence

open access: yes, 2014
In this thesis, we investigate non-perturbative features of strongly coupled condensed matter systems, generically, placed at finite temperature, charge density and, possibly, in a magnetic field using the theoretical framework of the gauge/gravity correspondence.

The Effect of Amino Acids on the Formation of Amorphous Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biomineral formation often proceeds via the assembly of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Using in situ SAXS coupled to a stopped‐flow device, we follow synthetic ACC formation with a 10 ms time resolution and show that amino acids narrow the size distribution at low supersaturation, highlighting their key ...

A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Wetting Interactions Between Porous Carbon Hosts and Liquid Sodium‐Potassium Alloys Toward Their Use in Negative Electrodes of Alkali‐Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Porous carbon host materials are investigated for their possible usage in liquid alkali‐metal negative electrodes. X‐ray computed tomography reveals pore‐filling behavior under various conditions: non‐wetting, forced wetting, and spontaneous wetting. The applicability of porous carbon in electrochemical cells is demonstrated at high areal capacities ...

Rolling and Impacting Caustic Drops on Super Liquid‐Repellent Surfaces: In Situ Force and Energy Monitoring of Surface Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The use of continuous drop‐based force and energy probing methods is introduced to evaluate in situ chemical degradation of super liquid‐repellent surfaces by caustic liquids. By tracking the velocity of rolling drops and energy dissipation of impacting drops, degradation dynamics are resolved under high spatio‐temporal precision. Using this technique,
