Analytical Determination of the Slot and the End-Winding Portion of the Winding-to-Rotor Capacitance for the Prediction of Shaft Voltage in Electrical Machines

Energies, 2020
Common-mode voltage, caused by a 2-level inverter, is a source of discharge currents in motor bearings. Due to the capacitive coupling, between the stator winding and the rotor, an image of the common-mode voltage is produced on the shaft—which can ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

A Magneto‐Mechanically Activated Nerve Guidance Conduit Promotes Peripheral Nerve Regeneration via TIMP1‐Mediated Membrane Tension Transfer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a magneto‐mechanical strategy that incorporates FP@MSCs into an aligned PCL/GelMA nerve guidance conduit. Magnetic stimulation increases membrane tension in FP@MSCs, triggering cytoskeletal remodeling, Schwann cell‐like differentiation, and TIMP1 secretion. TIMP1 activates ITGB1/CD63–FAK signaling in NE‐4C cells, increasing membrane

Al3+/Ta5+ Co‐Doping Promotes Homogeneous Li+ Transport Enabling High Performance Ni‐Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Al3+/Ta5+ co‐doping refines the primary particles of LiNiO2, reduces Li/Ni antisite disorder, and expands the c‐axis lattice parameter, thereby enabling faster and more homogeneous Li+ transport. Such rapid and homogeneous Li+ transport suppresses high‐voltage phase transitions and microcrack formation, ultimately improving the rate capability and long‐

A novel stable nanopositioner based on a single piezoelectric stack: PistolDrive

AIP Advances, 2018
We describe a novel stable piezoelectric nanopositioner which just use one piezoelectric stack and one simple driving signal, in which the central shaft is clamped by one BeCu spring and four SiN balls that bonded to the inner wall of the cylindrical ...

Self‐Healing Hydrogel‐Enabled Modular Assembly of Bilayered Skin Construct for Hair Follicle Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐healing assembly of two cell‐laden hydrogel layers creates a biomimetic skin construct that restores both dermal and epidermal functions, resulting in accelerated wound healing and enhanced hair follicle regeneration in a full‐thickness skin wound model. ABSTRACT Alopecia remains a pervasive clinical challenge, largely owing to the limited ability
