Scanning transmission electron microscopy performed in a scanning electron microscope (STEM-in-SEM) is undergoing a striking resurgence, with continuing developments in methodology and hardware, as well as applications to a wide range of materials in

Surface Feature Characteristics of Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Nickel Super Alloy 625 Bulk Regions

June 1, 2022
Author(s)
Jason Fox, Romaine Isaacs, Aarush Sood, Paul Brackman, Brigid Mullany, Edward Morse, Angela Allen, Edson Santos, Christopher Evans
Coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) surface inspection of additively manufactured nickel super alloy 625 reveal features over a broad range of length scales beyond those typically reported. High resolution

Agile Robotic Planning with Gwendolen

May 31, 2022
Author(s)
John L. Michaloski, Craig I. Schlenoff, Rafael Cardoso, Michael Fisher
The future of robotics foresees autonomous behavior that can complete tasks intelligently, with a focus on adaptability, flexibility, and versatility. In such systems, it is critical for robots to quickly and safely perform an operation. However, such

Assessment of intra-build variations in tensile strength in electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V part 2: Effects of powder mixing

May 31, 2022
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing, Orion Kafka, Newell Moser, Priya Pathare, Michael Walker, Frank DelRio, Nik Hrabe
In Part 2 of this paper series, high-throughput tensile testing and characterization of porosity, microstructure, and oxygen content was carried out on Ti-6Al-4V samples that were fabricated via electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) to test our

Anisotropic Acoustodynamics in Gigahertz Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducers

May 30, 2022
Author(s)
Jingjie Cheng, Zhaoliang Peng, Penghui Song, Bo Peng, Jason J. Gorman, Justin Kuo, Amit Lal, Wenming Zhang, Lei Shao
In this work, we employed our newly developed optical imaging method to probe detailed acoustodynamic physics in gigahertz (GHz) unreleased ultrasonic transducers based on an AlN-on-silicon system, revealing mode superposition, anisotropic transduction

5G NR and LTE Coexistence in Public Safety Communications

May 27, 2022
Author(s)
Sneihil Gopal, David W. Griffith
5G New Radio (NR) offers the promise of supporting new Public Safety Communications (PSC) services. Since the majority of the frequency bands worldwide are used by 4th Generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) and because options such as acquiring new

Implementing NIST Infiltration Correlations

May 27, 2022
Author(s)
Jyrteanna Teo, Lisa Ng
This tutorial is a guide on how to implement the NIST infiltration correlations (Ng et al., 2021) into EnergyPlus building energy simulation software for the US Department of Energy prototype commercial buildings. The implementation can also be generalized

Blockchain for Access Control Systems

May 26, 2022
Author(s)
Vincent C. Hu
The rapid development and wide application of distributed network systems have made network security – especially access control and data privacy – ever more important. Blockchain technology offers features such as decentralization, high confidence, and

Communicating Confidence of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Identification via High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

May 26, 2022
Author(s)
Joseph Charbonnet, Carrie McDonough, Feng Xiao, Trever Schwichtenberg, Dunping Cao, Sarit Kaserzon, Kevin Thomas, Pradeep Dewapriya, Benjamin Place, Emma Schymanski, Jennifer Field, Damian Helbling, Christopher Higgins
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are important environmental contaminants, yet relatively few analytical reference standards exist for this class. Nontarget analyses performed by means of high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) are increasingly

Consumer Perspectives on Loss of Support for Smart Home Devices

May 26, 2022
Author(s)
Julie Haney, Susanne M. Furman
Unsupported smart home devices can pose serious safety and security issues for consumers. However, unpatched and vulnerable devices may remain connected because consumers may not be alerted that their devices are no longer supported or do not understand

Real-time estimation of cutting forces via physics-inspired data-driven model

May 25, 2022
Author(s)
Gregory W. Vogl, Dominique Regli, Gregory Corson
A method is presented to estimate the cutting forces in real time within machine tools for any spindle speed, force profile, tool type, and cutting conditions. Before cutting, a metrology suite and instrumented tool holder are used to induce magnetic

A Framework to Evaluate the Cost-Effectiveness of Recovery-Based Design

May 24, 2022
Author(s)
Juan Fung, Yating Zhang, Katherine Johnson, Dustin Cook, Siamak Sattar
Modern building codes and standards are generally focused on safeguarding public health and safety by ensuring buildings meet life safety performance objectives following an earthquake event. Certain classes of buildings, such as hospitals and schools, may

Engineering Magnetic Anisotropy and Emergent Multidirectional Soft Ferromagnetism in Ultrathin Freestanding LaMnO 3 Films

May 24, 2022
Author(s)
Qinwen Lu, Zhiwei Liu, Qun Yang, Hui Cao, Purnima P. Balakrishnan, Qing Wang, Long Cheng, Yalin Lu, Jian-Min Zuo, Hua Zhou, Patrick Quarterman, Shinichiro N. Muramoto, Alexander Grutter, Hanghui Chen, Xiaofang Zhai
Owing to their small coercive fields and weak magnetic anisotropy, soft ferromagnetic films are extremely useful for nanoscale devices that need to easily switch spin directions. However, they are rare, particularly when a film thickness is reduced to a
