Crosslinking polymers break membrane separation boundaries
Current membranes suffer from the well-known permeability-selectivity upper bound. Here is the story behind the work of making the most selective microporous polymer membranes with record high gas separation efficiency, beating the latest gas separation upper bounds.
Magnetic manipulation of non-magnetic objects: Our solution to a seemingly paradoxical problem
We've discovered how to use rotating magnetic fields to dexterously manipulate objects made of metals that are typically considered non-magnetic. This has the potential to contribute a solution to the problem of space debris.
Building the next generation of Shape Displays
Shape displays are devices that can mechanically deform their surface to render particular objects or shapes. If a regular display is made of an array of pixels, a shape display is made of an array of physical parts that can move.
Chemistry in plasmonic nanocavities
While trying to experimentally uncover what is the physical mechanism that governs plasmon-mediated chemistry, its energy-dependent nature was revealed.
Non-line-of-sight reconstruction with signal-object collaborative regularization
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging aims at recovering obscured objects from multiple scattered light. Our recent work provides a signal-object collaborative regularization (SOCR) framework for high-quality and noise-robust NLOS reconstructions.
