Experimental Quantification of the Phonon Drag Deformation Mechanism in Metals at Extreme Strain Rates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)Extreme strain rate deformations, above 10⁶ s⁻¹, are seen across many fields of science and engineering; from meteorite impacts and impact induced crystallographic phase changes to high-speed machining and additive ... -
Concentration-Dependent Thermodynamics and Kinetics in Lithium-Metal Battery Electrolytes: Implications for Coulombic Efficiency
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-02)Lithium (Li)-metal batteries (LMBs) present a promising avenue for high-energy applications. However, their practical adoption is constrained by challenges such as dendrite formation and unstable interphases. This study ... -
1500W High Voltage DC-DC Converter for Electroaerodynamic Aircraft Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Electroaerodynamic (EAD) propulsion is a novel form of propulsion that is nearly silent and has no moving parts. The first functional untethered heavier-than-air EAD aircraft had an endurance of 90 seconds and could only ...
