Flexoelectric manipulation of ferroelectric polarization in self-strained tellurium Prof. Yang Lu’s group and collaborators recently published an article in Science Advances, demonstrating a novel flexoelectric strategy to enhance ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties in self-strained tellurium (Te) nanowires. By leveraging ultrafast …
Quadrupedal robots on challenging terrains Professor Peng Lu and his team from the Adaptive Robotic Controls Lab (ArcLab), the Department of Mechanical Engineering, have developed a physical intelligence controller for quadrupedal robots: TumblerNet. The learning-based controller can enable quadrupedal robots …
Reconfigurable rectifiers for versatile 3D liquid manipulation Professor Alan Cheng Hou Tsang of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and his student Jiaqi Miao have recently designed novel reconfigurable rectifers with magnetized microratchets for liquid manipulation. The morphologies of the rectifiers …
Engineering ultrafast exciton dynamics to boost organic photovoltaic performance Professor Philip C.Y. Chow from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and his PhD student Yu Guo have recently discovered that controlling the dynamics of photoexcited electrons on the sub-picosecond timescale can …
