We present 4DMesh, a method of combining shrinking and bending thermoplastic actuators with customized geometric algorithms to 4D print morph centimeter- meter-sized functional non-developable surfaces. will share two end-to-end inverse design algorithms. With our tools, users can input CAD models target surfaces produce respective printable files. The flat sheet printed into when triggered by heat. This system saves shipping packaging costs, in addition enabling customizability for the...
Prototyping compact devices with unique form factors often requires the PCB manufacturing process to be outsourced, which can expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we present Fibercuit, a set of rapid prototyping techniques fabricate high-resolution, flexible circuits on-demand using fiber laser engraver. We showcase that cut copper-based composites fine-pitch conductive traces, fold copper substrates kirigami structures, solder surface-mount electrical components off-the-shelf...
The iterative prototyping process for printed circuit boards (PCBs) frequently employs surface-mounted device (SMD) components, which are often discarded rather than reused due to the challenges associated with desoldering, leading unnecessary electronic waste. This paper introduces SolderlessPCB, a collection of techniques solder-free PCB prototyping, specifically designed promote recycling and reuse components. Central this approach custom 3D-printable housings that allow SMD components be...
We investigate the anisotropic behaviors in PbTe and PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires. In previous studies on PbTe, wire-to-wire variations anisotropy indicate poor device control, posing a serious challenge for applications. Here, we achieve reproducible nanowires through substantial reduction of disorder. then couple to superconductor Pb, observe pronounced deviation behavior compared bare This is gate-tunable attributed spin-orbit interaction orbital effect, controlled by charge transfer between...
Majorana zero modes in tunneling conductance are expected to manifest as robust bias peaks (ZBPs). While ZBPs alone not conclusive evidence of due alternative explanations, remain a crucial and necessary first-step indicator the search for topological states. Here, we report observation PbTe-Pb hybrid nanowires. The peak height can reach $2e^2/h$, though it does yet form quantized plateau. Importantly, these non-split over sizable ranges both magnetic field gate voltage scans, highlighting...
PCB (printed circuit board) substrates are often single-use, leading to material waste in electronics making. We introduce Renewal, a novel technique that "erases" and "reconfigures" traces by selectively depositing conductive epoxy onto outdated areas, transforming isolated paths into planes support new traces. present the Renewal workflow, evaluate its electrical performance mechanical durability, model sustainability impact, including usage, cost, energy consumption, time savings. develop...
The recent democratization of personal fabrication has significantly advanced the maker movement and reshaped applied research in HCI beyond. However, this growth also raised increasing sustainability concerns, as material waste is an inevitable byproduct making rapid prototyping. In work, we examine landscape within modern community, focusing on grassroots makerspaces maker-oriented labs through in-depth interviews with diverse stakeholders involved managing making-related activities. Our...

Our final prototype contains shape-changing brackets representing elements baseboard canvas. Blind can through creating editing by snapping or adjusting on top baseboard. The senses brackets' type, size, location, verbalizes information, renders...
Every year, more than 100,000 automobile crashes are caused by driver drowsiness. Various technologies have been developed to address this issue, including vehicle-based measurements, behavior change detection, and physiological signal analysis. Both measurements detection require bulky components. They also identify the driver's drowsiness too late for effective accident prevention. The changes in an early stage can be used detect on-set of In paper, development a wearable system is...
Despite their growing popularity, many public kiosks with touchscreens are inaccessible to blind people. Toucha11y is a working prototype that allows users use existing touchscreen independently and little effort. consists of mechanical bot can be instrumented an arbitrary kiosk by user companion app on smartphone. The bot, once attached touchscreen, will recognize its content, retrieve the corresponding information from database, render it user's As result, person smartphone's built-in...
Abstract Carbon‐supported Pt‐Co nanowires (Pt‐Co NWs/C) were prepared through a soft surfactant template method as cathode catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The mass activity of the NWs/C (0.125 A mg Pt −1 ) is 1.5 times higher than that commercial Pt/C oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). accelerated durability test (ADT) showed loss 14.7% in electrochemically active surface areas (ECSA) NWs/C, and 35% after 3,000 cycles between 0.6 1.15 V, indicating stability was...
