Scheer Partners Scientific Real Estate’s Post

MIT’s research community had another year full of scientific and technological advances in 2024. To celebrate the achievements of the past twelve months, MIT News highlights some of our most popular stories from this year. We’ve also rounded up the year’s top MIT community-related stories.3-D printing with liquid metal: Researchers developed an additive manufacturing technique that can print rapidly with liquid metal, producing large-scale parts like table legs and chair frames in a matter of minutes. Their technique involves depositing molten aluminum along a predefined path into a bed of tiny glass beads. The aluminum quickly hardens into a 3D structure. Tamper-proof ID tags: Engine ...

Exploring the synergy between laser technology & sustainability at CLASCO’s next training and education event in Aachen, Germany.🌿✨ Prof. Gesa Beck (ABCircular GmbH) led the dialogue on sustainable design in emerging technologies, while Prof. Andres Fabian Lasagni (TU Dresden) showed with first results how laser-based technology is revolutionising the lifecycle of additive manufactured metallic parts. Dr. Sebastian Slawik's (German Society for Materials Science - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Materialkunde e.V. (DGM)) comparison on laser surface structuring opened a new chapter in sustainable manufacturing. The event was part of a joint DGM Expert Committee Meeting.

Building on our NSW SRN Pilot Project 3D-Printed Self-Deployable Antenna Arrays for CubeSat Applications, we’ve developed an innovative approach that merges 4D printing with origami-inspired shape-morphing antennas for CubeSats. I’m excited to collaborate closely with Prof. Manos Tentzeris and Prof. Shlomo Magdassi on this project, and I look forward to visiting Prof. Tentzeris' lab at Georgia Tech next April. A comprehensive review of 4D printing/origami technologies applied to microwave/RF/antenna designs can be found in our recently published article in Proceedings of the IEEE: https://lnkd.in/gigkdA5e The recorded Webinar on Additively Manufactured Electronic Components in Multimaterial 3-D and 4-D Printing can be found: https://lnkd.in/g2bDGrjp Acknowledgement: The pilot studies were supported by the NSW Space Research Network. Further research will be supported by the Australian Research Council. Follow us. More to come... University of Technology Sydney, Georgia Institute of Technology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

Innovation at 32,000 feet. This experiment aboard a microgravity flight started when a research team led by Iowa State’s Shan Jiang, associate professor of materials science and engineering, and Hantang Qin, formerly of Iowa State, wondered if their ink and printer technologies would work in the zero gravity of space.

Check out our recent publication (published in Small journal) on fabrication of porous graphene networks following the photothermal processing. Leveraging a high throughput technique, graphene was produced over large areas within milliseconds. The resultant graphene-based devices on carbon fiber demonstrated outstanding capacitance performance, eliminating the need for metallic current collectors. This research presents significant potential for the mass production of lightweight and multifunctional supercapacitor devices via a cost-effective and energy-efficient approach.

#HighThroughput experimentation (HTE) is a method used to rapidly screen and evaluate a very large number of experimental samples simultaneously and under specified conditions. 🔬 This method is crucial in the energy sector as it enables researchers and engineers to efficiently explore a wide range of materials and conditions, leading to the development of more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable energy technologies. 💡Join our next webinar on 13 June, as we delve into importance of accelerating the development of critical energy materials to combat climate change and the role of HTE in generating extensive data for informed technical decisions. 👉Register here: https://lnkd.in/eynxcTES

Have you ever wondered about how fast porous graphene networks can be formed on a large scale? Check out our recent work published in Small (Wiley) led by my buddy Ayush Bhardwaj. We introduce a low-cost, energy-efficient production of such structures in less than a minute via a photothermal approach for high-performance supercapaciors without any binder addition!

📚 Excited to announce the publication of our latest paper titled "Femtosecond laser induced- plasticity in CuO nanowires" in Journal of Applied Surface Science! 📚 In this study, for the first time, we employed ultrafast laser techniques to modify the mechanical properties of metal oxide nanowires. Our approach successfully enhanced the plasticity of inherently brittle CuO nanowires by introducing artificial vacancy defects with femtosecond laser. These defects led to localized phase transformations into oxygen-deficient phases during bending, significantly improving the efficiency of electro-mechanical nanodevices, such as strain sensors. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my colleague, Amirsalar Anousheh, for his insightful perspectives on materials characterization and deeply thankful to my supervisors, Prof. Walter Duley, Prof. Norman Zhou, and Prof. Peng Peng for their invaluable knowledge, assistance, and  support.
