Cryogels represent a class of porous sponge-like materials possessing unique properties including high-fidelity reproduction of tissue structure and maximized permeability. Their architecture is mainly based on an interconnected network of macropores...
This study employs a stacked ensemble machine learning approach to predict carbonate rocks' porosity and absolute permeability with various pore-throat distributions and heterogeneity. Our dataset consists of 2D slices from 3D micro-CT images of four...
We adopt convolutional neural networks (CNN) to predict the basic properties of the porous media. Two different media types are considered: one mimics the sand packings, and the other mimics the systems derived from the extracellular space of biologi...
This paper proposes a method for accurate 3D posture sensing of the soft actuators, which could be applied to the closed-loop control of soft robots. To achieve this, the method employs an array of miniaturized sponge resistive materials along the so...

We predict steady-state Stokes flow of fluids within porous media at pore scales using sparse point observations and a novel class of physics-informed neural networks, called "physics-informed PointNet" (PIPN). Taking the advantages of PIPN into acco...
Respiratory pattern is one of the most crucial indicators for accessing human health, but there has been limited success in implementing fast-responsive, affordable, and miniaturized platforms with the capability for smart recognition. Herein, a full...
Bone material contains a hierarchical network of micro- and nano-cavities and channels, known as the lacuna-canalicular network (LCN), that is thought to play an important role in mechanobiology and turnover. The LCN comprises micrometer-sized lacuna...
The surfactant-enhanced bioremediation (SEBR) of organic-contaminated soil is a promising soil remediation technology, in which surfactants not only mobilize pollutants, but also alter the mobility of bacteria. However, the bacterial response and und...
Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) is emerging as an effective method for water desalination, known for its efficiency and adaptability. This study delves into the performance of DCMD by integrating two powerful analytical tools: Computation...
