Inverse Design of Nanoparticulate Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inverse design shifts nanomaterial development from empirical trial‐and‐error to predictive model‐driven strategies. It can rely on knowledge‐based, data‐based, or hybrid process and property functions. This perspective article provides a practical framework for applying inverse design based on instructive examples. It discusses which modeling approach

High‐Mobility Chalcogenophene‐Engineered Diketopyrrolopyrrole Mixed Ionic‐Electronic Conductors With Doping Tolerance for Low‐Power Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chalcogen substitution emerges as a powerful strategy for designing high‐performance OMIECs. In aliphatic–glycol side chain diketopyrrolopyrrole polymers, biselenophene incorporation promotes a planar, polarizable, and doping‐tolerant quinoidal framework, enabling PDPP‐4EG‐Se2 to combine high hole mobility, large µC*, enhanced operational stability ...

Parametric Study of Bolt Clamping Effect on Resonance Characteristics of Langevin Transducers with Lumped Circuit Models

Sensors, 2020
We recently proposed a numerical model using equivalent circuit models to analyze the resonance characteristics of Langevin transducers and design them in a systematic manner. However, no pre-load torque biased by a metal bolt was considered in the model.

Water Ski Binding Release Characteristics in Forward Lean

Proceedings, 2020
To reduce the risk of injury, waterski bindings should secure the foot to the ski when the likelihood of lower leg injury is low (retention) and free the foot when the likelihood of injury is high (release).

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Dynamic Fluorescence Modulation via Light‐Driven Competitive Protonation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐component molecular system demonstrates reversible, light‐driven fluorescence write–erase cycling and thermal imaging. Illumination of a merocyanine photoacid transfers a proton to a highly efficient fluorescent pyridinium dye, switching its emission color; thermal relaxation reverses the process in the dark.
