Force Scaling Comparison of Transport Phenomena in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Flow Channels

Liquid-gas two-phase flow in flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been investigated extensively in the literature; however, a comparison between the order of the magnitude of the forces occurring within the flow channels has not b ...

Air mediates the impact of a compliant hemisphere on a rigid smooth surface

John Martin Kolinski, Siqi Zheng

Fleeting contact between solids immersed in a fluid medium governs the response of critically important materials, from coffee to soil. Rapid impact of soft solids occurs in systems as diverse as car tires, soft robotic locomotion and suspensions, includin ...

Force Adaptation in Contact Tasks with Dynamical Systems

Aude Billard, Mahdi Khoramshahi, Walid Amanhoud

In many tasks such as finishing operations, achieving accurate force tracking is essential. However, uncertainties in the robot dynamics and the environment limit the force tracking accuracy. Learning a compensation model for these uncertainties to reduce ...

Photothermal Off-Resonance Tapping for Rapid and Gentle Atomic Force Imaging of Live Cells

Georg Fantner, John McKinney, Adrian Pascal Nievergelt, Haig Alexander Eskandarian, Charlène Cécile Geneviève Brillard

Imaging living cells by atomic force microscopy (AFM) promises not only high-resolution topographical data, but additionally, mechanical contrast, both of which are not obtainable with other microscopy techniques. Such imaging is however challenging, as ce ...

Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds

Stéphane Joost, Devis Tuia

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments, tasks ...

Experimental evolution of slowed cognitive aging in Drosophila melanogaster

Brian Dennis Hollis

Reproductive output and cognitive performance decline in parallel during aging, but it is unknown whether this reflects a shared genetic architecture or merely the declining force of natural selection acting independently on both traits. We used experiment ...

Force Field Development from Periodic Density Functional Theory Calculations for Gas Separation Applications Using Metal-Organic Frameworks

Berend Smit, Rocio Mercado, Yongjin Lee, Miguel Gonzalez

We present accurate force fields developed from density functional theory (DFT) calculations with periodic boundary conditions for use in molecular simulations involving M-2(dobdc) (M-MOF-74; dobdc(4-) = 2,5-dioxidobenzenedicarboxylate; M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, ...

Skating on a Film of Air: Drops Impacting on a Surface

John Martin Kolinski

The commonly accepted description of drops impacting on a surface typically ignores the essential role of the air that is trapped between the impacting drop and the surface. Here we describe a new imaging modality that is sensitive to the behavior right at ...
