A Stopped‐Flow Instrument for Millisecond Timescale Reaction Monitoring on a Standard NMR Spectrometer

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
A new stopped‐flow instrument allows kinetic measurements of reactions 10 milliseconds after initiating them by mixing in a flow cell inserted into a standard NMR probe and spectrometer. High‐speed video, pressure and NMR line‐shape data are used to characterise mixing and stopping, and a protodeboronation reaction with a 5‐millisecond half‐life used ...

Interaction Between Vortex‐Induced Vibrations and Base Vibrations in Piezoelectric Harvesters

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present era, powering sensors using green energy is a significant challenge. One promising solution for the power supply of small sensors relies on piezoelectric energy harvesters excited by vortex‐induced vibrations (VIVs) generated by wind.

Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Three-level neutral-point-clamped matrix converter topology [PDF]

Matrix converter is a direct AC-AC converter topology that is able to directly convert energy from an AC source to an AC load without the need of a bulky and limited lifetime energy storage element. Due to the significant advantages offered by matrix converter, such as adjustable power factor, capability of regeneration and high quality sinusoidal ...

Evaluation of a High‐Performance Monopropellant Formed of Microencapsulated Hydrocarbon Fuels in Combination With Gelled Hydrogen Peroxide in a Strand Burner Setup

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
A high‐performance premixed monopropellant is prepared from hydrocarbon‐filled microcapsules and hydrogen peroxide. This propellant is burned in a strand burner, and the effect of different parameters on the burn rate is evaluated. ABSTRACT A dispersion of hydrocarbon‐fuel‐filled microcapsules in gelled hydrogen peroxide can form a premixed ...

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

High‐Power Performance of Textured Piezoelectric Ceramics Through Synergistic A‐Site Donor and B‐Site Acceptor Doping

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A/B‐site co‐doping combined with templated grain growth enables synergistic defect and domain engineering in textured PIN–PMN–PT ceramics. The approach simultaneously enhances piezoelectric response and mechanical quality factor, achieving a balanced soft–hard characteristic.
