Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Water impacting, freezing, melting, and being mechanically removed from the designed dielectric surfaces generates a triboeletric signal that can be used to detect various icing and de‐icing scenarios. The charge transferred directly scales with the interfacial fracture mechanism, further validating triboelectricity as an excellent ice‐detection ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Low‐interfacial toughness PDMS/SiO2 coatings are applied to aluminum substrates and tested under natural high‐altitude conditions. The coatings demonstrate strong anti‐icing, icephobic, and large‐scale deicing performance. Field results highlight delayed freezing, reduced ice adhesion, and stable durability, offering practical insights into the use of ...

Numerical Research on Cooling Performance of Magnetic Nanofluids in a Natural Convection Transformer
Chemical Engineering TransactionsThe transformer is extensively cooled internally by natural convection, which can handle most electrical load conditions and ensure that the maximum internal temperature (hot spot temperature) does not exceed the allowable value.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This study examines a soft gripper with a NiTiCu6 Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire embedded in a graphene nanoparticle (GNP)‐functionalized PDMS matrix. Comparing GNP‐enhanced and plain elastomer prototypes, results show that GNPs improve cooling rates, accelerating release by 40%, but increase energy consumption in low‐current activations.

How to Manufacture Photonic Metamaterials
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Metamaterials boast applications such as invisibility and “hyperlenses” with resolution beyond the diffraction limit, but these applications haven’t been exploited in earnest and the market for them hasn’t grown much likely because facile and economical methods for fabricating them without defect has not emerged.
