DSIAC was asked to investigate recent advancements regarding fabrics, materials, nanomaterial embedded/coated fabrics, metamaterials, etc, that have the potential to manipulate and reduce soldier electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) signatures. The inquirer was particularly interested in the advancement…
DSIAC received a request for more information and related articles on the topic of a journal article “Dry Adhesive Holds in Extreme Cold, Strengthens in Extreme Heat,” which had an excerpt in the Defense Systems Digest. This article details…
Ten years after producing the first sample of the now widely studied family of nanomaterials, called MXenes, Drexel University researchers have discovered a different way to make the atom-thin material that presents a number of…
MIT engineers have developed a continuous manufacturing process that produces long strips of high-quality graphene. The custom-built, roll-to-roll CVD system makes graphene on copper foil at 1,000 °C. The results, published in the American Chemical Society (ACS), are the first demonstration of an industrial, scalable method for manufacturing high-quality graphene that is tailored for use
Engineers from the University of California at Los Angeles ( UCLA), four other universities produce nanoscale device that mimics the structure of tree branches. Mechanical engineers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and four other institutions have designed a super-efficient and long-lasting electrode for supercapacitors. The device’s design was inspired
