5G millimeter wave (mmWave) technology is envisioned to be an integral part of next-generation vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks and autonomous vehicles due to its broad bandwidth, wide field of view sensing, and precise localization…
Electrically driven insulator-metal transitions in prototypical quantum materials such as VO2 offer a foundational platform for designing novel solid-state devices. Tuning the V: O stoichiometry offers a vast electronic phase space with…
In passive sky-facing radiative cooling, wavelength-selective thermal emitters in the atmospheric transparency window of 8-13 $\mu$m can reach lower temperatures compared to broadband emitters, but broadband emitters always have higher…
Long term stability is the most pressing issue that impedes commercialization of Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) based functional films, which show a gradual loss of relative phase transition performance, especially in humid conditions when serving…
Mobile operators are poised to leverage millimeter wave technology as 5G evolves, but despite efforts to bolster their reliability indoors and outdoors, mmWave links remain vulnerable to blockage by walls, people, and obstacles. Further,…
