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.…”

Beyond Detection: Towards Actionable Sensing Research in Clinical Mental Healthcare by Adler, Daniel, Yang, Yuewen, Viranda, Thalia, Xu, Xuhai, Mohr, David, Van Meter, Anna, Tartaglia, Julia, Jacobson, Nicholas, Wang, Fei, Estrin, Deborah, Choudhury, Tanzeem

“…Our findings motivate research on actionable sensing, as an alternative to detection research, studying how passive sensing can be used alongside traditional mental health measures to support actions in clinical care. Specifically, we identify how passive sensing can support clinical actions by revealing patients' presenting problems for treatment and identifying targets for behavior change and symptom reduction, but passive data needs to be contextualized with patients to be appropriately interpreted and used in care. …”
