Thermodynamics of multi-sublattice battery active materials: from an extended regular solution theory to a phase-field model of LiMnyFe1-yPO4 by Ombrini, Pierfrancesco, Bazant, Martin Z, Wagemaker, Marnix, Vasileiadis, Alexandros

“…We apply the model to phospho-olivine materials and demonstrate its quantitative accuracy in predicting the composition-dependent redox shift of the plateaus of LiMnyFe1-yPO4 (LFMP), LiCoyFe1-yPO4 (LFCP), LiCoxMnyFe1-x-yPO4 (LFMCP), as well as their phase separation behavior. Furthermore, we develop a phase-field model of LFMP that consistently matches experimental data and identifies LiMn0.4Fe0.6PO4 as a superior composition that favors a solid solution phase transition, making it ideal for high-power applications.…”

Microfluidic Hanging Droplet as a Programmable Platform for Mammalian Egg Vitrification by Feng, Haidong, Katsikis, Georgios, Napier, India, Du, Gong, Lim, Josh, Doyle, Joseph, Manalis, Scott R, Griffith, Linda G

“…However, the method is typically performed by hand, requiring precise (∼0.1 to 10 μL) and time-sensitive (∼1 s) liquid exchange of cryoprotectants (CPA) around eggs as well as fine handling of eggs (∼100 μm) for immersion into liquid nitrogen (LN2). …”

Tiny Pointers by Bender, Michael, Conway, Alex, Farach-Colton, Martin, Kuszmaul, William, Tagliavini, Guido

“…Using tiny pointers, we revisit five classic data-structure problems: the data-retrieval problem, succinct dynamic binary search trees, space-efficient stable dictionaries, space-efficient dictionaries with variable-size keys, and the internal-memory stash problem. These are all well-studied problems, and in each case tiny pointers allow for us to take a natural space-inefficient solution that uses pointers and make it space-efficient for free.…”

Dip coating of bidisperse particulate suspensions by Jeong, Deok-Hoon, Lee, Michael Ka Ho, Thiévenaz, Virgile, Bazant, Martin Z, Sauret, Alban

“…Dip coating consists of withdrawing a substrate from a bath to coat it with a thin liquid layer. This process is well understood for homogeneous fluids, but heterogeneities, such as particles dispersed in liquid, lead to more complex situations. …”
