1D-to-3D transition of photon heat conduction in polyethylene using molecular dynamics simulations (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Experiments have demonstrated that the mechanical stretching of bulk polyethylene can increase its thermal conductivity by more than two orders of magnitude, from 0.35 W/mK to over 40W/mK, which is comparable to steel. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The purpose of this thesis is the design and implementation of the pedal box for the 2007 MIT Formula SAE car. Formula SAE is a collegiate competition in which groups of degree seeking students design and manufacture small ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)2.672 is an undergraduate mechanical engineering laboratory course which requires students to solve real-world problems using both theoretical calculations and laboratory experiments. Many of the experiments currently in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)A new method for aligning and actuating membranes for 3D nano-assembly based on the interactions of nanomagnets has been developed. Arrays of nanopatterned magnetic material are integrated onto thin-film membranes. It is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)A microfluidic system has been developed for studying the factors inducing different responses of cells in vascular system using a three-dimensional microenvironment. The devices have been transferred from PDMS to a platform ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)3D visualization of fluid flow is of critical significance to a number of applications ranging from micro-scale medical devices to design of ships and airplanes. Of the various techniques currently used to visualize flow ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Approaches to achieve three dimensional (3D) reconstruction from 2D images can be grouped into two categories: computer-vision-based reconstruction and tomographic reconstruction. By exploring both the differences and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The internal organs are designed to move freely and slide over one another during normal body movement. The abdominal organs, however, have a tendency to adhere to the abdominal cavity (peritoneum) and other abdominal ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to searching for materials with high thermoelectric (TE) efficiency above room temperature for converting heat into electricity. These efforts have led to significant ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)A method for the autonomous geolocation of ground vehicles in forest environments is presented. The method provides an estimate of the global horizontal position of a vehicle strictly based on finding a geometric match ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)To restrict the warming effects of climate change to less than a 2°C increase, we must deploy terawatts of solar photovoltaics (PV) and other renewables in the next 10-15 years -- yet, historically novel PV materials have ...
