Gradient‐Conductivity Architecture Enables Synchronous Enhancement of Sensitivity and Detection Range in Multifunctional All‐Paper Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,

The slow slip of viscous faults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We examine a simple mechanism for the spatio-temporal evolution of transient, slow slip. We consider the problem of in-plane or anti-plane slip on a fault that lies within an elastic continuum and whose strength is proportional to sliding rate. This rate

Detection of Cascadia Slow Slip in Borehole Pore Pressure Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Cascadia subduction zone hosts quasi-periodic, large-scale slow slip events which have been shown to be precursors to large, tsunamigenic earthquakes at other active subduction zone margins.

Slow Earthquakes: Tremor, Low-frequency Earthquakes and Slow Slip Events

open access: yes, 2022
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2022The focus of this thesis is slow earthquakes, that is earthquake-like events that release energy over a period of hours to months, rather than the seconds to minutes characteristic of a typical earthquake ...

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

The influence of the brittle-ductile transition zone on aftershock and foreshock occurrence

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Earth surface continues to slip after large earthquakes at a slow velocity for a period of a year or more. In this study, the authors show how such slow slip before and after large earthquakes relates to the interaction of the brittle zone of the fault ...

Measurements of velocity-dependent and slip-dependent frictional strength in laboratory friction experiments on natural samples from IODP Expedition 316 and ODP Hole 190-1174B

open access: yes, 2014
Slowslip forms part of the spectrum of fault behaviour between stable creep and destructive earthquakes. Slow slip occurs near the boundaries of large earthquake rupture zones and may sometimes trigger fast earthquakes.

Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

Parallel dynamics of slow slips and fluid-induced seismic swarms

open access: yesNature Communications
Earthquake swarms may be driven by fluids, through hydraulic injections or natural fluid circulation, but also by slow and aseismic slip transients. Understanding the driving factors for these prolific sequences and how they can potentially develop into ...

In Situ Magnetic Ordering and Microfabrication of Liquid Crystal Networks with Discretized Alignment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Miniaturizing liquid crystal network actuators typically demands costly laser writing or digital light processing. A low‐cost photolithography platform couples rotating photomasks with a Halbach magnetic array to discretize in‐plane molecular alignment down to 50 µm, producing programmable, light‐responsive grippers, checkerboards, and origami‐inspired
