Orientation-indepedent wireless charging of multiple mobile devices at a distance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Each year, consumers carry an increasing number of mobile devices on their person: mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, etc. As a result, users must remember to recharge each device, every day. Wireless charging promises ... -
Orientational fluctuations of liquid water at hydrophobic and hydrophilic interfaces
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)Being ubiquitous in nature, liquid water interfaces host many important physical and chemical processes. Most of these processes are affected by the properties of water interfaces which depend on molecular details of the ... -
Origami manifolds
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)An origami manifold is a manifold equipped with a closed 2-form which is symplectic everywhere except on a hypersurface, where it is a folded form whose kernel defines a circle fibration. In this thesis I explain how an ... -
Origami nanofabrication of three-dimensional electrochemical energy storage devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The Nanostructured (TM) 3D Fabrication and Assembly Process was developed as a novel method of creating three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured devices using two- dimensional micro- and nanopatterning tools and techniques. ... -
Origami tomography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis analyzes two dimensional tomographic imaging of surface objects with negligible volume, concentrating on piecewise linear surfaces similar to folded origami. In contrast to the large number of projections usually ... -
Origami transformers : folding orthogonal structures from universal hinge patterns
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)We investigate a new approach to origami design using simple universal hinge patterns where the crease patterns for different shapes are just different subsets of a common hinge pattern. Several algorithms have previously ... -
Origami-inspired nanofabrication utilizing physical and magnetic properties of in situ grown carbon nanotubes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in particular the vertically-aligned variety grown through a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD)-based process, are highly versatile nanostructures that can be used in a variety of ... -

The origin and structure of easterly waves in the lower troposphere of North Africa,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1971) -
The origin and tectonic history of the Southwest Philippine Sea.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
Origin of geochemical heterogeneity in the mantle : constraints from volcanism associated with Hawaiian and Kerguelen mantle plumes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Lavas derived from long-lived mantle plumes provide important information of mantle compositions and the processes that created the geochemical heterogeneity within the mantle. Kerguelen and Hawaii are two long-lived mantle ... -
The origin of remanent magnetism in sedimentary rocks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1960) -
Origin of solid-state activated sintering in BiO₂₃-doped ZnO.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999) -
Origin of the Lunar Ultramafic Glasses Constrained by Experiments and Models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)To place further constraints on the origin of the lunar ultramafic glasses and the evolution of the lunar interior, phase equilibrium experiments are carried out on two synthetic compositions which represent hybridized, ... -
The origin of the ninetyeast ridge and the northward motion of India, based on DSDP paleolatitudes.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1977) -
Origin to destination unreliability in rail freight transportation.
