A Multiscale Modeling Suite for Part Qualification in Metal Additive Manufacturing

Liu J., Liu Z., Jalalahmadi B., Liu J., Liu Z., McReynolds M., Rios J., Sentient Science, US

Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) shows great potential for producing light-weight structures, reducing development cost and lead time in critical industies such as aerospace and medical device. However, a major barrier that remains is rapid qualification [...]

Potential of Water‐Responsive Materials to Harvest Energy from Evaporation

Cavusoglu A.‐H., Chen X., Sahin O., Columbia University, US

Water-responsive materials swell and shrink in response to changes in relative humidity (RH) and can be potentially used to harvest energy from evaporating water. Here, we investigated the potential of harvesting energy from naturally evaporating [...]

Theoretical Synthesis of Mixed Materials for CO2 Capture Applications

Duan Y., DOE-National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Since the current technologies for capturing CO2 are still too energy intensive, to develop new materials that can capture CO2 reversibly with acceptable energy costs are needed. By combining thermodynamic database mining with first principles [...]
