Engineering Fire-Resistant Batteries CockrellSchool 2024-02-29 | A sodium battery developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin significantly reduces fire risks from the technology, while also relying on inexpensive, abundant materials to serve as its building blocks. The secret ingredient to this sodium battery breakthrough, published recently in Nature Energy, is a solid diluent. The researchers used a salt-based solid diluent in the electrolyte, facilitating the charge-discharge cycle and stabilizing the battery as a whole. In addition to the safety improvement, this new, sodium-based battery represents a less expensive alternative to the lithium-ion batteries that power smartphones, laptops, electric cars and more. The battery also boasts strong performance. How long a battery lasts on a single charge tends to decline over time, but he new sodium battery retained 80% of its capacity over 500 cycles, matching the standard of lithium-ion batteries in smartphones. This battery is also free of cobalt, as well as lithium. The other components are made of 40% iron, 30% manganese and 30% nickel. Other authors on the paper are Jiarui He, Amruth Bhargav, Laisuo Su, Julia Lamb and Woochul Shin — all from the Cockrell School's Materials Science and Engineering program and Texas Materials Institute — and John Okasinski of Argonne National Laboratory.Learn more at bit.ly/ut-fire-resistant-battery
Measuring Brain Activity with a VR Headset CockrellSchool 2024-02-23 | Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin created a noninvasive electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor that they installed in a Meta VR headset that can be worn comfortably for long periods. The EEG measures the brain's electrical activity during the immersive VR interactions.The device could be used in many ways, from helping people with anxiety, to measuring the attention or mental stress of aviators using a flight simulator, to giving a human the chance to see through the eyes of a robot.The pairing of VR and EEG sensors has made its way into the commercial sphere already. However, the devices that exist today are costly, and the researchers say their electrodes are more comfortable for the user, extending the potential wearing time and opening up additional applications.Members of the research team include Hyonyoung Shin, Minsu Zhang, Nicholas Riveira and Susmita Gangopadahyay of the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering; Andrew Yu, Heeyong Huh, Zhengjie Li, and Yifan Rao from the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics; Sangjun Kim from the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jessie Peng of the Department of Biomedical Engineering; and Gubeum Kwon of Artue Associates Inc. in South Korea.

Patient Operates Brain-Powered Wheelchair CockrellSchool 2022-11-18 | In one of the first studies of its kind, several people with motor disabilities were able to operate a wheelchair that translates their thoughts into movement.The study by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and published today in the journal iScience is an important step forward for brain-machine interfaces — computer systems that turn mind activity into action. The concept of a thought-powered wheelchair has been studied for years, but most projects have used non-disabled subjects or stimuli that leads the device to more or less control the person rather than the other way around.In this case, three individuals with tetraplegia, the inability to move their arms and legs due to spinal injuries, operated the wheelchair in a cluttered, natural environment to varying degrees of success. The interface recorded their brain activity, and a machine-learning algorithim translated it into commands that drove the wheelchair.Learn more: https://cockrell.utexas.edu/news/archive/9616-brain-powered-wheelchair-shows-real-world-promise---Visit our website: cockrell.utexas.edu Follow the Cockrell School: Twitter: twitter.com/CockrellSchool Facebook: facebook.com/CockrellSchool/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cockrellsch...

Cockrell School of Engineering Endowed Lecture: Professor Peer Fischer at Max Planck Institute CockrellSchool 2022-04-05 | The Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin welcomed Professor Peer Fischer of the Max Planck Institute at the University of Stuttgart, Germany as a Cockrell School of Engineering Endowed Lecturer to share “Nanorobots for Biomedical Applications and Ultrasound for the Instant Assembly of Cellular Structures.” Inspired by Richard Feynman’s famous lecture “There’s plenty of room at the bottom,” researchers are striving to build synthetic motors, machines, and robots ‘bottom up’ from the nanoscale. However, despite progress in crafting static structures of increasing complexity, truly functional dynamic machines are still in their infancy. Building and powering artificial structures that operate at the microscale is very challenging, as it is generally not possible to translate actuation mechanisms and design-concepts from the macro- to the nanoscale. At this scale different physical phenomena are important and there are no ready-made motors and no off-the-shelf parts. In this talk I will describe the fabrication and operation of “nanobots” that can be controlled in fluids with magnetic fields. A focus of the lecture is the physics and chemistry needed to enable their propulsion through complex biological tissues. Another means of power transfer is via sound fields. However, existing technologies to manipulate sound have been lacking. I will discuss new means of shaping ultrasound using the acoustic hologram and describe how it can be used to obtain the most sophisticated sound fields to date. The hologram permits the directed assembly of cells and for “one-shot” parallel 3D fabrication.Learn more about the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering: https://www.me.utexas.edu/---Visit our website: cockrell.utexas.edu Follow the Cockrell School: Twitter: twitter.com/CockrellSchool Facebook: facebook.com/CockrellSchool/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cockrellsch...

Nanocrystal Terpyridine Linking Gel Could Enable Advances in Energy, Defense and Telecommunications CockrellSchool 2022-03-01 | This video shows the tunability of the nanocrystal gel with temperature change. The sample starts off in its non-gelled state (labelled ‘dispersion’). As the material is cooled, the material starts to transform into a nanocrystal gel(labelled ‘Sol-to-gel transition’), until the entire sample is in gel form. Next, heat is applied, and the nanocrystal gel breaks down again.The gel could be used, for example, on the outside of buildings to control heating or cooling dynamically. This type of optical filter also has applications for defense, particularly for thermal camouflage.Credit: Kang, Valenzuela, et al./UT AustinLearn more: bit.ly/3MeSRbE----Visit our website: cockrell.utexas.edu Follow the Cockrell School: Twitter: twitter.com/CockrellSchool Facebook: facebook.com/CockrellSchool/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cockrellsch...
