Properties and influence of magnetic fields on iron particles of anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers

The magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is an intelligent material whose mechanical properties can be rapidly adjusted under a magnetic flux density. This material’s mechanical properties change due to the interaction between the iron particles inside the material.

Research on control strategy of flywheel energy storage system based on active disturbance rejection control

The flywheel energy storage system (FESS) has been attracting the attention of national and international academicians gradually with its benefits such as high energy power density, high conversion productivity, and inexpensive pollution.

Impulse coupling enhancement of aluminum targets under laser irradiation in a soft polymer confined geometry

Laser pulses were applied to a target mounted on a ballistic pendulum to study the momentum imparted by a laser shock impact. Photonic Doppler Velocimetry was used to assess the momentum imparted by each laser pulse.

First-principles calculations of defects and electron–phonon interactions: Seminal contributions of Audrius Alkauskas to the understanding of recombination processes

First-principles calculations of defects and electron–phonon interactions play a critical role in the design and optimization of materials for electronic and optoelectronic devices. The late Audrius Alkauskas made seminal contributions to developing rigorous first-principles methodologies for the computation of defects and electron–phonon interactions, especially in the context of understanding the fundamental mechanisms of carrier recombination in semiconductors.

Ultrasonic manipulation of particles and cell aggregates with simultaneous acoustic visualization

Acoustical tweezers can manipulate inanimate particles as well as living cells in liquid in 2D using surface acoustic waves and in 3D using bulk acoustic waves. Here, we demonstrate a MHz twin-trap device for underwater manipulation of particles and cell aggregates and show that it operates effectively within a Petri dish and a plastic tube.

Efficient extreme ultraviolet emission by multiple laser pulses

We demonstrated an efficient extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source at a wavelength of 13.5 nm using spatially separated multiple solid-state-laser pulse irradiation.

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution system: Past, present, and future

Quantum key distribution provides secure keys with information-theoretic security ensured by the principle of quantum mechanics. The continuous-variable version of quantum key distribution using coherent states offers the advantages of its compatibility with telecom industry, e.g., using commercial laser and homodyne detector, is now going through a booming period.
