Electrodeposition in Structural Lattices of Variable Architectures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Electrodeposition enables geometry‐sensitive, autonomous void filling while simultaneously tuning chemical and mechanical properties. The development of approaches that can autonomously fill and heal material voids and yield composites with tailorable properties is increasingly relevant in engineering.

Impact of Hydrogen Incorporation on Electronic and Magnetic Structure of X2CrNi18‐9 Stainless Steel

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogen uptake in austenitic stainless steel alters both its electronic and magnetic structure. Seebeck measurements reveal hydrogen‐induced shifts in the electronic density of states, while neutron scattering uncovers nanoscale inhomogeneities that grow upon hydrogen incorporation, with the most pronounced effect observed in the PBF as‐built state ...

Gyroid Structured Globugraphite Carbon Foam With Hierarchical and Tailored Pore Size

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Secondary sacrificial templates were designed and printed to create a defined network within a porous carbon. Lattices thermally degrades during the sintering process. Lattices are imprinted into the ceramic template and transferred to the morphology of Globugraphite.

Investigation of Resonance Characteristics of More Than 10 000 Metal‐Coated Silicon MEMS Cantilevers Using Machine Learning

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
More than 10 000 metal‐coated silicon MEMS cantilevers are fabricated and characterized to build a large‐scale experimental dataset spanning multiple vibrational modes. Machine learning algorithms are benchmarked to predict resonance frequency and quality factor, with ensemble based models achieving accuracy approaching experimental uncertainty.

Slow-water strategy for fracture-resistant hydrogels

Nature Communications
Water in hydrogels has often been overlooked or deemed detrimental to the mechanical properties of hydrogels due to the plasticizing effect of water, which weakens interchain interactions and accelerates crack propagation.
