Athletes worldwide employ early and on-going compression therapy to greatly improve short-term recovery as well as long-term outcomes for those engaging in strenuous physical activity. Medically, applying targeted pressure through compression has been found to boost blood circulation and reduce inflammation, expediting healing. A recent study further showed such therapy improves both perceptual and performance indices of exercise recovery. […]

Nano-/micromaterial coatings require assemblage on target substrates such as polymers, ceramics, and metals to achieve versatile functionalities for the applications of smart textiles, functional coatings/finishings, energy storage and conversion, catalysts, and other electronics and photonics. However, many desired combinations of nano-/micromaterials and substrates are extremely challenging to achieve due to the incompatible nature of their […]
Coating electronics and performance materials requires assembling nanoparticles on targeted substrates such as polymers, ceramics, and metals. Many high-performance materials have hydrophobic or chemically inert surfaces. As a result, nanomaterial or particle coatings characteristically do not naturally stick to these surfaces, restricting their applications for aerospace, high altitude, battlefield, and other extreme environments. Currently, techniques […]
Background and Unmet Need Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl (PFAS), also known as ‘Forever Chemicals,’ this class of chemicals has been a growing contaminant of concern throughout the last decade. PFAS present a significant human health risk, including an increased risk of cancer and reproductive defects. Because these chemicals are extremely hydrophobic and do not naturally break […]
Precoding and modulation are important modules in wireless transmissions. Precoding designs improve the spectral efficiency and system performance in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. Modulation is the process of varying one or more properties (amplitude, phase, and/or frequency) of a carrier signal, with information, e.g., bits, to be transmitted. Existing modulation methods for wireless communication primarily […]
