Quantum Measurement Cooling

open access: yes, 2019
Invasiveness of quantum measurements is a genuinely quantum mechanical feature that is not necessarily detrimental: Here we show how quantum measurements can be used to fuel a cooling engine.

Mechanically Robust Phase‐Change Multiscale‐Architected Metastructures Integrating Asymmetric MXene/T‐CNF Aerogel for Thermal Energy Storage and Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multiscale‐architected phase change material (PCM) composite combines latent heat storage, PCM leakage proof, directional thermal conduction, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, and mechanical reinforcement via asymmetric MXene/cellulose aerogel and 3D‐printed metastructures, enabling effective thermal regulation, strong EMI shielding, and ...

Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles Based on Carbon Nanotube Yarns and Eutectogel Derivatives

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Solid‐state artificial muscles based on coiled commercial carbon nanotube yarns coated with eutectogel derivatives exhibit unipolar actuation through selective ion intercalation. Combining polyanionic and polycationic gels enables enhanced contractile stroke and high energy density.

Energetics and performance of a microscopic heat engine based on exact calculations of work and heat distributions

open access: yes, 2009
We investigate a microscopic motor based on an externally controlled two-level system. One cycle of the motor operation consists of two strokes. Within each stroke, the two-level system is in contact with a given thermal bath and its energy levels are ...

Soft Magnetic Artificial Muscles with High Work Density and Actuation Strain via Dual Cross‐Linking Design

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A high‐performance magnetic composite actuator that integrates covalent and reversible physical cross‐links within a stiffness‐tunable polymer matrix embedded with functionalized magnetic particles is presented. The actuator exhibits programmable magnetic responsiveness, a stiffness switching ratio of 1.37 × 103, stretchability up to 1274%, large ...

Charge‐Induced Morphing Gels for Bioinspired Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel electroactive actuation mechanism that enables the gel material to generate substantial and reversible shape‐changing while preserving topological and isochoric (volumetric) equivalence. The resultant morphing behaviors can mimic the movements of muscle‐driven organelles in nature, including cilia‐like beating and ...
