Transforming Auxetic Metamaterials into Superhydrophobic Surfaces
(Wiley, 17 January 2024)Superhydrophobic materials are often inspired by nature, whereas metamaterials are engineered to have properties not usually occurring naturally. In both, the key to their unique properties is structure. Here, it is shown ... -
Strain relaxation and multidentate anchoring in n-type perovskite transistors and logic circuits
(Nature Research, 2024)The engineering of tin halide perovskites has led to the development of p-type transistors with field-effect mobilities of over 70 cm2 V-1 s-1 . However, due to their background hole doping, these perovskites are not ... -
Integrated sensor FTC using integral sliding mode control
(Elsevier, 2024)In this paper, a sliding mode sensor fault tolerant control scheme which involves a first order sliding mode observer, fault compensation logic and an integral sliding mode controller, is proposed for a class of uncertain ... -
Enhancing the mobility of small-scale robots via nonlinear structural springs exhibiting negative stiffness
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 17 April 2024)Compared to traditional robotic systems, small-scale robots, ranging from several millimetres to micrometres in size, are capable of reaching narrower and vulnerable regions with minimal damage. However, conventional ... -
A novel in-vitro model of intervertebral disc degeneration using hyperphysiological loading.
(Elsevier, 31 March 2024)Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration includes changes in tissue biomechanics, physical attributes, biochemical composition, disc microstructure, and cellularity, which can all affect the normal function of the IVD, and ...
