Rethinking walkability: Exploring the relationship between urban form and neighborhood social cohesion

Recent research has investigated the importance of both walkable urban design and social cohesion. Social cohesion has been shown to have broad social and health benefits, and scholars have hypothesized that walkable urban design can influence cohesion, th ...

Subharmonic parametric instability in nearly brimful circular cylinders: a weakly nonlinear analysis

François Gallaire, Alessandro Bongarzone, Francesco Viola

In labscale Faraday experiments, meniscus waves respond harmonically to small-amplitude forcing without threshold, hence potentially cloaking the instability onset of parametric waves. Their suppression can be achieved by imposing a contact line pinned at ...

This thesis is a detailed description of three experimental investigations on aqueous interfaces. All projects made use of the microjet technology or the more recently developed flat-jet technique which enables the implementation of liquid water in vacuum ...

We model, via classical molecular dynamics simulations, the plastic phase of ice VII across a wide range of the phase diagram of interest for planetary investigations. Although structural and dynamical properties of plastic ice VII are mostly independent o ...

Stretchable and Soft Electroadhesion Using Liquid‐Metal Subsurface Microelectrodes

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey

Electroadhesion is an attractive mechanism to electrically modulate adhesion to surfaces. Electroadhesion arises from the interaction of electric fields with conductive or dielectric materials. Electroadhesion devices consist of in-plane, interdigitated el ...

To examine whether suitable conditions occur for the water splitting reaction at their interfaces with liquid water, we determine the pH-dependent surface coverage for a series of semiconductors, including GaAs, GaP, GaN, CdS, ZnO, SnO2, and rutile and ana ...

High-Throughput Nanocapillary Filling Enabled by Microwave Radiation for Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy Imaging

Aleksandra Radenovic, Georg Fantner, Vytautas Navikas, Sanjin Marion, Sebastian James Davis, Samuel Mendes Leitão

Solid state nanopores provide a highly sensitive tool for single-molecule sensing and probing nanofluidic effects in solutions. Glass nanopipettes are a cheap and robust type of solid-state nanopore produced from pulling glass capillaries with opening orif ...
