Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence. by Lohmeyer, Whitney, Carlton, Ashley, Wong, Frankie, Bodeau, Michael, Kennedy, Andrew, Cahoy, Kerri

“…We also find that the accumulated voltages reached are high enough to compromise components in the amplifier system, for example, the direct current (DC) blocking capacitor. An electron beam test using a representative coaxial cable terminated in a blocking capacitor showed that discharges could occur with peak voltages and energies sufficient to damage active RF semiconductor devices.…”

Tunable Mechanical Response of Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Superlattices by Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Yee, Daryl W., Zhou, Ziran, Sun, Rachel, Andrade, José E., Macfarlane, Robert J., Portela, Carlos M.

“…Here, we perform in situ nanomechanical experiments that evidence up to an 11-fold increase in stiffness (∼1.49 to 16.9 GPa) and a 5-fold increase in strength (∼88 to 426 MPa) because of surface stiffening/strengthening from shaping these nanomaterials via focused-ion-beam milling. To predict the mechanical properties of shaped NPSLs, we present discrete element method (DEM) simulations and an analytical core-shell model that capture the FIB-induced stiffening response. …”

Opto-mechatronics instrumentation of a specialty optical fiber based optogenetic probe by Gokulnath, Rajendran

“…The galvanometric mirrors in the conventional targeted neuronal stimulation studies were replaced by the Spatial Light Modulators (SLM) in the state of the art optogenetics system due to its superior beam modulation options and response time. However, most of the SLM integrated with the optogenetic systems using coherent fiber bundle are the reflective type which suffers from a major drawback of complex optical configuration. …”

Fracture energy and mechanical properties of toughened epoxy resin with eggshell powder by Fong, Collin, Sugiman, Sugiman, Chin, Desmond, Ahmad, Hilton

“…Dog-bone specimens were fabricated to investigate the mechanical properties of TEEP (i.e. elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratios and tensile strength) and tested under quasi-static tensile loading. Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) and End-Notched Flexure (ENF) tests were used to determine the mode I and Mode II fracture energies of TEEP specimens, respectively. …”

Current affairs: a security measurement study of CCS EV charging deployments by Szakály, M, Köhler, S, Martinovic, I

“…We find that only 12% of the charging stations we analyzed implement TLS at all, leaving all others vulnerable to attacks that have already been demonstrated many years ago. We observe an increasing trend in support for ISO 15118- 2 over the years, reaching 70% of chargers manufactured in 2023. …”
