Optical and Microcantilever-Based Sensors for Real-Time In Situ Characterization of High-Level Waste

Fundamental research is being conducted to develop sensors for cesium and strontium that can be used in real-time to characterize highlevel waste (HLW) process streams. Two fundamentally different approaches are being pursued, having in common the dependence on highly selective molecular recognition agents. In one approach, an array of chemically selective sensors with sensitive fluorescent pro...

In situ TEM creation and electrical characterization of nanowire devices.

We demonstrate the observation and measurement of simple nanoscale devices over their complete lifecycle from creation to failure within a transmission electron microscope. Devices were formed by growing Si nanowires, using the vapor-liquid-solid method, to form bridges between Si cantilevers. We characterize the formation of the contact between the nanowire and the cantilever, showing that the...

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).

By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
