3D‐Printed Hygroscopic Polymer Networks for High‐Humidity Triboelectric Nanogenerators to Wirelessly Power Implantable Electronic Devices‐ A Conceptual Pathway

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops 3D‐printable tribopolymer networks that can enhance triboelectric performance under high humidity environments. Polar hydrophilic functional groups and incorporation of zwitterionic monomers promote bound‐water–dominated interfacial polarization thereby increasing electrical outputs.

Flight Dynamics Operations of the TanDEM-X Formation [PDF]

, 2012
Since end of 2010 the German TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites are routinely operated as the first configurable single-pass Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometer in space. The two 1340 kg satellites fly in a 514 km sun-synchronous orbit.

Polymer Interface Enables Reversible Quasi‐Solid Sulfur Conversion in Sodium‐Sulfur Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polymer interface enables a stable quasi‐solid sulfur conversion pathway in room‐temperature Na─S batteries. The coating regulates Na+ transport, stabilizes the cathode–electrolyte interphase, and accommodates mechanical stress, suppressing electrolyte decomposition and sulfur migration, thereby improving reaction uniformity, reducing polarization,

Inter-satellite Ranging Augmented GPS Relative Navigation for Satellite Formation Flying [PDF]

Journal of Navigation, 2013
An Augmented Relative Navigation System (ARNS) is proposed for autonomous satellite formation flying in low-Earth-orbit (LEO). Inter-satellite ranging systems such as those based on radio frequency transmissions can provide additional observation information, e.g.

Coagulative Granular Hydrogels with an Enzyme Catalyzed Fibrin Network for Endogenous Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Coagulative granular hydrogels are composed of packed thrombin‐functionalized microgels that catalyze the conversion of fibrinogen into a secondary fibrin network, filling the interstitial voids. This bio‐inspired approach stabilizes the biomaterial to match the robustness of bulk hydrogels without compromising injectability, mimicking the initial ...

Consensus SE(3)-Constrained Extended Kalman Filter for Close Proximity Orbital Relative Pose Estimation

Aerospace
In this paper, a recently proposed SE(3)-constrained extended Kalman filter (EKF) is extended to formulate a strategy for relative orbit estimation in a space-based sensor network. The resulting consensus SE(3)-constrained EKF utilizes space-based sensor
