Manipulating Molecular Ion Trains: New Strategies for Targeted Gas-Phase Ion Chemistry

Soft robotic devices show particular promise for medical applications where the ability to perform snake-like manipulations with soft devices could radically improve the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic and intravenous procedures. Where traditional catheter devices for these procedures can only be steered at the tip, there exists a need for more maneuverable devices with a high number of degrees of freedom (DOF) that can be controlled throughout the entire length.

he ongoing decarbonization efforts in the United States require a combination of various energy technologies with a low carbon foot print, including nuclear energy. A summary of recent progress in nuclear materials chemistry involved in the synthesis and performance of advanced nuclear fuels, as well as their disposal to increase the safety and efficiency of the nuclear energy sector will be presented. Utilization of wet-chemical, innovative synthesis approaches in combination with a wide range of characterization tools, facilitate a better understanding of the structure-property relationships of advanced nuclear fuel and its waste forms.

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulation technique is a promising tool to study various properties of vibrational spectra, X-ray spectra, free energy, entropy, etc. even at high temperatures. With the harmonic phonon model, all interatomic forces are treated as purely harmonic so that the equilibrium distance between atoms is independent of temperature.

Birds have deployable covert feathers that are hypothesized to aid in aerodynamic flow control. Inspired by this biological control solution, we use high-fidelity simulations to explore a simplified configuration in which a flat plate is mounted via a torsional spring on an airfoil. We first characterize what dynamical regimes this system can undergo for various spring and inertia values, explaining some of the underlying fluid-structure interaction mechanism and their implications on performance changes.

Nanostructures (particularly with sizes below 10 nm) are inherently challenging to characterize on the atomic scale, due to broadening which occurs in diffraction-based characterization methods, and the high concentration of surface defects and energy-minimization effects. Characterization challenges compound when investigating nanoscale actinide oxides, such as uranium oxide, due to radioactive sample constraints and rich electronic structure which can potentially stabilize a wide range of crystallographic arrangements.

Few would disagree that inclusion is the right thing to do and good for business. So why are we so terrible at it? If we believe in the “why” of being diverse, inclusive, and equitable leaders, then why are we still struggling to put it into action? Because true change requires inclusion on purpose, which takes more than just knowing inclusion is right, it commands personal intention and awareness when creating inclusive workplaces. In this research-backed webinar, inclusion strategist and author Ruchika Tulshyan will set the stage for why we must take an intersectional, purposeful approach to create an inclusive workplace.

Given the ten-fold difference in resting heart rates and twitch kinetics between small and large mammals, it is likely that the cooperative phenotype is a species-dependent property of mammalian myocardium instances. Such a mechanism suggests a molecular basis for beat-to-beat synchronization of ventricular contractility and circulatory demand.

Structural chemistry has played an important role in our understanding of the chemical and physical behavior of the heavy elements. Yet our understanding of the chemistry, bonding, and reactivity of actinide complexes and clusters still lags behind that of the rest of the Periodic Table. This lack of structural and chemical information has led to large discrepancies in thermodynamic data, significant challenges in process chemistry, and the unexpected mobility of heavy elements in the environment.

Greenhouse gases emitted by the manufacturing of building materials makes up 11% of global emissions. While the building industry has made significant progress toward eliminating carbon from building operations, material emissions have been flying under the climate radar. The urgency of reducing global carbon emissions in the next decade puts building materials on center stage – these emissions have an impact on our environment before materials even arrive to the jobsite.

This dissertation considers various machine-learning-based signal processing architectures for equalization and detection of two- and three-dimensional magnetic recording signals for hard disk drives (HDDs). Recording in multiple dimensions on magnetic hard drives has been a challenge in the HDD industry.
