Morphology prediction in injection-molded fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites: a technical review of modeling frameworks

Abstract Fiber orientation, fiber length distribution, and spatial morphology gradients govern the mechanical performance of injection-molded fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Predicting these features accurately requires modeling frameworks that span flow kinematics, fi...

Oil retains systemic leverage as economies decarbonize

Abstract The shift to renewable energy is transforming the global energy system, but the transition narrative is incomplete. Decarbonization strategies must not only reduce emissions but also account for oil supply and deliverability risks.

Training Machine Learning Models at the Edge: A Survey

Edge computing has gained significant traction in recent years, promising enhanced efficiency by integrating artificial intelligence capabilities at the edge. While the focus has primarily been on the deployment and inference of Machine Learning (ML) models at the edge, the train...

Leveraging existing electric propulsion capabilities for the Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt

The Emirates Mission to the Asteroid Belt (EMA), scheduled for launch in 2028, will conduct an eight-year, multi-target tour of seven main-belt asteroids, requiring over 10 km/s total delta-v and operations out to 3 AU. To meet these demands, the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Sp...

Interface-engineered 1T/2H-MoS2 on 3D nickel foam enables accelerated hydrogen evolution kinetics

We report a single-step pulsed electrodeposition strategy that grows mixed-phase 1T/2H-MoS 2 conformally on a porous nickel foam (NF) scaffold, yielding a self-supported MoS 2 /NF electrode. In 1.0 M KOH, MoS 2 /NF requires only an overpotential of −52 mV to deliver −10 mA cm −2...
