Molecular-level methylcellulose/mxene hybrids with greatly enhanced electrochemical actuation by Chen, Shaohua, Ciou, Jing-Hao, Yu, Fei, Chen, Jian, Lv, Jian, Lee, Pooi See

“…Based on direct strain measurements, in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the actuation enhancement can be ascribed to the enlarged layer distance allowing more water and ions to be intercalated/de-intercalated and MC-induced sliding of MXene sheets. The assembled soft actuator has a high Young's modulus of 1.93 GPa and can be operated in air, generating a peak-to-peak strain difference up to 0.541% under a triangular wave voltage of ±1 V and a blocking force of 4.7 times its own weight.…”

Mind the perception gap: The impact of bus rapid transit infrastructure on travelers’ perceptions of affective subjective well-being by Navarrete-Hernandez, Pablo, Christopher Zegras, P

“…We find that: (1) compared to regular bus services, a ‘standard BRT’ consisting of a painted bus lane and the addition of a cycle lane significantly enhances SWB; (2) an ‘SWB infrastructure’ option that replaces car parking with improvements for cyclists and pedestrians and adds street amenities further enhances SWB; and, (3) the BRT infrastructure elements most effective in enhancing affective SWB for users of all transport modes are the addition of green spaces, improvement of crosswalks, and provision of more space for pedestrians and cyclists. …”

Active mobility device parking characteristics at MRT stations by Ng, Yi Shien

“…With a growing population, scarce land with limited road expansion capacity, and increasing public expectations for convenience in travel, active mobility devices (AMDs – personally-owned and shared bicycles as well as personal mobility devices like electric scooters and skateboards) are playing an important role in Singapore’s efforts to work towards a “car-lite” nation. Shared bicycles grew in popularity in 2017 and reached the peak of 100,000 shared bicycles in early 2018. …”
