Wrinkles invariably form during graphene growth and post-growth transfer, limiting graphene films' large-scale uniformity for electronic applications. We report a transfer-free synthesis route for highly-uniform bilayer graphene directly on …
After Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD), faceted structures are routinely observed on a variety of metal catalyst surfaces in the graphene-covered regions. In spite of having its bare surface flattened through high diffusivity and surface pre-melting …
Metal additive manufacturing (AM) will impact many industries, including those producting of advanced structural, propulsion, electronic, and thermal systems. Many established metal AM processes involve layer-by-layer deposition and selective binding …
Industrial production of graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) requires more than the ability to synthesize large domain, high-quality graphene in a lab reactor. The integration of graphene in the fabrication process of electronic devices …
This study addresses the synthesis and mechanical behavior of graphene-metal composites comprising palladium (Pd) nanoribbons wrapped with graphene. Coating Pd nanoribbons with graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) considerably increases their …
The skin of the cephalopod is a 3D display, where the papillae muscles control the protrusion of each voxel by several millimeters out of the skin plane, create hierarchical textures, and collectively change the overall skin pattern in a fraction of …
The mechanical behavior of high quality two-dimensional (2D) crystals offers exciting opportunities for new material design, such as the combination of extremely high in-plane stiffness and bending flexibility, compared to existing three-dimensional …
Owing to the capability to induce a time-averaged pressure drop in oscillatory flow, a jet pump has been used to suppress the Gedeon streaming in a looped thermoacoustic engine. The suppression capacity originates from the asymmetric pressure drop …
Gedeon streaming is known to considerably deteriorate the thermal efficiency of a traveling-wave thermoacoustic engine with looped configuration. The time-average pressure drop induced by a jet pump can efficiently suppress the Gedeon streaming. In …
