From continuous to interruptible distillation: Flexible electric heating column architecture with fast start‐up

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Electrification of distillation offers a promising route to reducing scope‐1 emissions from one of the chemical industry's most energy‐intensive unit operations. However, conventional adiabatic columns are dynamically inflexible: Long, energy‐intensive start‐ups make shutdown and restart impractical under variable electricity prices and ...

Modeling the separation of water‐in‐oil emulsions in continuously fed gravity settlers using millifluidic experiments

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Emulsion separation remains a persistent challenge in chemical and process industries due to the metastable nature of dispersed droplets. In gravity separators, the overall separation rate is governed by the formation of a densely packed zone (DPZ) of deforming and coalescing droplets that mediates between the dispersed and continuous phases ...

SigmaFormer: Augmenting transformer encoders with COSMO sigma profiles for pure component property prediction

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Transformer‐based molecular models pretrained on SMILES strings demonstrate strong performance in property prediction. However, these model often lack explicit integration of molecular surface charge distributions that govern intermolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding and polarity.

Membrane‐aided simultaneous reaction–separation for liquid phase products

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Conventionally, reaction and separation are conducted as separate steps in liquid‐phase manufacturing, with products formed during reaction and subsequently separated from unreacted reagents, solvents, and byproducts. Integrating these steps into a simultaneous reaction–separation process can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

A Computational Approach for Biomimetic Design of Liver‐On‐A‐Chip

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A biomimetic liver‐on‐a‐chip with antiparallel perfusion was designed using COMSOL‐guided simulation to replicate hepatic acinus transport. Full‐scale modelling revealed diffusion‐dominated, length‐dependent nutrient gradients and low‐shear conditions.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Prediction‐Guided Two‐Step Solid‐State Exploration of Unknown Pseudo‐Ternary Oxides

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Prediction‐guided selection combined with two‐step solid‐state exploration enables efficient search of unknown pseudo‐ternary oxides. Broad robotic slurry screening followed by manual single‐phase isolation leads to the discovery of a new oxide, Ba5SnV6O22, showing how data‐guided experiments connect unexplored composition regions to new materials ...

Self‐Sensing Artificial‐Muscle‐Empowered Humanlike Perception, Interaction, and Positioning

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
The proposed self‐sensorized artificial muscle (SSAM) can sense its length change as small as 0.01 mm via a seamlessly integrated multi‐segment induction coil. The SSAM provides accurate length information regardless of its loadings, driving pressure, or muscle design, adequate for robust data‐driven feedback control.
