Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in humans, with dozens of sequence variants accounting for over 30% of the protein in an animal body. The fibrillar and hierarchical arrangements of collagen are critical in providing mechanical proper...
Photothermal therapy (PTT) requires tight thermal dose control to achieve tumor ablation with minimal thermal injury on surrounding healthy tissues. In this study, we proposed a real-time closed-loop system for monitoring and controlling the temperat...
The content of fat, oil and grease (FOG) in the sewer network sediments is the key indicator for diagnosing sewer blockage and overflow. However, the traditional FOG detection is time-consuming and costly, and the establishment of mathematical models...
Physics-based models are the primary approach for modeling the phase behavior of block copolymers. However, the successful use of self-consistent field theory (SCFT) for designing new materials relies on the correct chemistry- and temperature-depende...
Soft grippers that incorporate functional materials are important in the development of mechanically compliant and multifunctional interfaces for both sensing and stimulating soft objects and organisms. In particular, the capability for firm and deli...
In the search for increased productivity and efficiency in the industrial sector, a new industrial revolution, called Industry 4.0, was promoted. In the electric sector, power plants seek to adapt these new concepts to optimize electric power generat...
In this paper, we demonstrate the application of deep neural networks (DNNs) for processing the reflectance spectrum from a fiberoptic temperature sensor composed of densely inscribed fiber bragg gratings (FBG). Such sensors are commonly avoided in p...
In modern smarthomes, temperature regulation is achieved through a mix of traditional and emergent technologies including air conditioning, heating, intelligent utilization of the effects of sun, wind, and shade as well as using stored heat and cold....
Finding optimal parameters for force fields used in molecular simulation is a challenging and time-consuming task, partly due to the difficulty of tuning multiple parameters at once. Automatic differentiation presents a general solution: run a simula...
Beyond a traditional stimuli-responsive soft actuator that shows a single motion by a stimulus, multidirectional actuation reversal with a single stimulus is highly required in applications such as shape morphing sensors and soft robotics. Liquid cry...
