Thermal Performance Enhancement With DRX in 5G Millimeter Wave Communication System

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
The evolution of the communication and computation systems enables the user equipment (UE) to handle tremendous transmission data. However, the high-speed data processing also makes UEs release heat and might burn the chips inside the devices.

Crystallization of Supercooled Liquid Elements Induced by Superclusters Containing Magic Atom Numbers

open access: yesMetals, 2014
A few experiments have detected icosahedral superclusters in undercooled liquids. These superclusters survive above the crystal melting temperature Tm because all their surface atoms have the same fusion heat as their core atoms, and are melted by liquid

Variable Stiffness Flexure Structures Enabled by Phase‐Change Gallium and Adhesive Interfacial Locking for Soft Robotic Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A flexure‐based variable stiffness structure is developed by integrating phase‐change modulation and adhesive interfacial locking of gallium. The design enables a wide stiffness variability, transitioning from soft, flexible behavior to rigid, load‐supporting performance.
