CMRI at Sidmouth Science Festival
A group representing the CMRI, consisting of Public Engagement Manager (and CMRI PhD alumni) Dr David Newman and current PGRs Jonathon Smith and Stuart Kendall, went to the Sidmouth Science Festival (Saturday 7th October) to present a series of outreach demonstrators introducing a variety of wave phenomena and wave-matter interactions. The demonstrators then led to […]
New publication: Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices
Congratulations to CMRI postdoctoral researcher James Capers who has had his work ‘Inverse Design of Thin-Plate Elastic Wave Devices‘ published in Physical Review Applied. In this work, James applies principles from electromagnetism to manipulate mechanical energy with a view towards using graded plates as lenses or for performing mode shaping. This work has applications for […]
New publication: Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes
Congratulations to CDT alumni Dr Kavya Sreeja Sadanandan whose work ‘Fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerators with ultrasonic spray coated graphene electrodes’ has been published in Nano Energy. In this work, Kavya and colleagues report on the effectiveness of a new triboelectric nanogenerator (devices that convert mechanical energy into an electric current) design which could be used in […]
