Frequency equations of nonlocal elastic micro/nanobeams with the consideration of the surface effects by Zhao, Haisheng, Zhang, Yao, Lie, Seng Tjhen

“…In sum, the explicit frequency equations for the micro/nanobeam under three types of boundary conditions are proposed to reveal the dependence of the natural frequency on the effects of the nonlocal elasticity, the surface elasticity, the residual surface stress, and the rotatory inertia, providing a more convenient means in comparison with numerical computations.…”

Control of the metal-to-insulator transition by substrate orientation in nickelates by Peng, Jingjing, Ouyang, Bin, Liu, H. Y., Hao, Changshan, Tang, S. S., Gu, Y. D., Yan, Y.

“…We proved that the critical thickness for metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) of LaNiO3 could be controlled by substrate orientation. By means of density functional theory calculations, films grown on SrTiO3 substrates with (001), (110) and (111) orientations have different amount of charge transfer across the interface. …”

Electroadhesion for vertical locomotion in soft robotics by Chan, Benjamin Weijie

“…Electroadhesion is an electrostatic attraction phenomenon which is implemented in manufacturing facilities to handle complex materials, and in climbing robots as the means for adhesion during locomotion. Major drawbacks of this system are the requirement for high-voltage power supply when in use, and lengthy detachment process upon the removal of power supply due to residual charge polarization of the dielectric material which diminishes sluggishly with dielectric relaxation. …”
