Seasonal thermal energy storage systems are key enablers of future low-carbon and flexible energy infrastructures. Among the different storage technologies, water-gravel thermal energy storage (WGTES) offers a robust, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solution for large ... En savoir plus

As semiconductor devices continue to shrink and incorporate complex 3D architectures, conventional optical metrology faces limitations in resolving features smaller than the optical wavelength or those hidden beneath opaque layers. Ultrafast photoacoustic spectroscopy provides a ... En savoir plus

Phase change materials (PCMs), including shape memory alloys (SMAs), often exhibit thermal hysteresis behavior during phase transitions. Traditional modeling approaches employ binary or threshold-based phase transition models, which is often sufficient for steady-state applications or ... En savoir plus

Simulation has become a critical part of product development, but workflows remain heavily manual and require significant expertise. Engineers often wait months on simulation requests. The delay slows design iterations and hinders early-stage feasibility assessments in the design ... En savoir plus

Large underground mines (LUMs), which constitute over 60% of metal and nonmetal mining operations in the United States, are critical to national infrastructure and materials supply (Bhattacharyya et al., 2023; Gendrue et al., 2021). These mines are characterized by vast entries exceeding ... En savoir plus

Many industrial processes involving chemical reactions rely on heat addition, which accounts for approximately 50% of all energy consumed in the United States' industrial sector. Examples include metallurgical processes, chemical processing, and heating process fluids. Traditionally, ... En savoir plus

Electric vehicles (EVs) present a sustainable alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles. However, their widespread adoption remains hindered by limited driving range and insufficient charging infrastructure. Wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, particularly those enabling ...
