Local high strain in solid rocket motor grains is a primary cause of structural failure. However, traditional numerical simulations are computationally expensive, and existing surrogate models cannot explicitly establish geometric models…
This letter presents the design and implementation of a compact high-efficiency octave microwave rectifier. A key highlight is the novel segmented impedance matching method, a unique approach that expands the rectifier bandwidth. The diode…
Most use cases of reconfigurable antennas require an accurate forward model mapping configuration to radiated field (and reflections at feeds). Emerging dynamic metasurface antennas (DMAs) confront the conventional approach of extracting…
Ferroelectricity is characterized by the presence of spontaneous and switchable macroscopic polarization. Scaling limits of ferroelectricity have been of both fundamental and technological importance, but the probes of ferroelectricity have…
Magnetic skyrmions exhibit particle-like stability and rich dynamical behaviour arising from their topological nature, making them promising building blocks for future spintronic devices. In this work, we investigate the interaction…
A novel method for enhancing microwave heating uniformity using a 2-bit coding metasurface is proposed. This metasurface is specially designed to scatter incident waves into multiple directions at 2.45 GHz rather than just one,…
Visualization of internal deformation fields in crystalline materials helps bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical applications. Applying Bragg coherent diffraction imaging under X-ray dynamical diffraction conditions…
Lens tension is essential for accommodative vision but remains difficult to measure with precision. Here, we present an optical coherence elastography (OCE) technique that quantifies both tension and elastic modulus in the lens capsule and…
Nanophotonics enables unprecedented control over light-matter interactions, yet conventional isotropic materials limit the spectral range and mode response in subwavelength structures. Anisotropic nanoparticles -- ubiquitous in natural and…
In this research, we report the fabrication and characterization of a Ta/HfO2-x/Mo memristor. The synaptic behavior of a Ta/HfO2-x/Mo memristor has been investigated. HfO2-x (15 nm) was grown using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method.…

We demonstrate a dual nanopore platform (DNP) containing a top 2D MoS2 pore in series with a 3 to 5 nm thick SiN pore, vertically separated by 30 nm, with diameters of 1.0 and 3.0 nm, respectively. This platform enables independent probing…
This work proposes a tri-band shared-aperture antenna array with three wide bands, covering the 5G mid-band and the 6G centimetric band, which is a promising candidate for future 6G base station antennas. The challenge of suppressing…
This work presents a wideband tri-band shared-aperture antenna array covering the 5G mid-band and 6G centimetric band. The challenge of scattering and coupling suppression is holistically addressed across the wide bands. Guided by…
Dynamic radiative thermal control is crucial for normal operation and energy saving of spacecraft that copes with changing thermal environment involving heat dissipation to cold deep space, external heating from the Sun and nearby planet,…
The depletion of energy sources, worsening environmental issues, and the quantum limitations of integrated circuits for information storage in the post-Moore era, are pressing global concerns. Fortunately, two-dimensional (2D) Janus…
Acoustic metamaterials enhance traditional material properties through microstructure engineering, providing new opportunities to shape sound fields in applications ranging from biomedical imaging, clinical therapy to non-destructive…
Surfaces and structures capable of multiple stable configurations have attracted growing interest for on-demand shape morphing. In this work, we consider an elastic compliant plate coupled to a two-dimensional foundation comprising an array…
Ultrasound transducers made from rigid piezoceramics are difficult to adapt for wearable or conformal applications. Piezopolymer-based transducers offer a practical alternative; however, most existing studies focus on piezoelectric…
An increasing number of studies are moving towards the combination of quantum mechanics and gravity, where studying gravity from a very small source mass is a viable starting point. Preparing for such experiments, investigations of weak…
