Technique developed to help 2D materials expand

Control Engineering

Zhong is co-lead author of a research paper that demonstrates just such a “ruler.” We believe this has very important implications for the electronic device and packaging community,” says co-lead author and former mechanical engineering graduate student Lenan Zhang SM ’18, PhD ’22, who is now a research scientist.

Elastic material impervious to gases, liquids developed

Control Engineering

This is an important step because there has long been a trade-off between elasticity and being impervious to gases,” said Michael Dickey, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work and the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University.

Self-driving robot powered only by light and radio waves

Control Engineering

“We took inspiration from ‘intermittent computing,’ which breaks complex programs into small steps, so a device with very limited power can work incrementally, as energy is available,” said co-lead author Kyle Johnson , a UW doctoral student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering.

Robotic grippers developed to pick up delicate, heavy objects

Control Engineering

“It is difficult to develop a single, soft gripper that is capable of handling ultrasoft, ultrathin, and heavy objects, due to tradeoffs between strength, precision and gentleness,” said Jie Yin, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at NC State. graduate from NC State.
