Quantifying Plasticity and Temperature in High Velocity Microparticle Impacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)The Laser Induced Particle Impact Test, or LIPIT, is a benchtop experimental setup that enables in-situ observation of micron-scale particles impacting targets at velocities ~10-1500 m/s. Through a combination of the high ... -
Endothelial cell plasticity as a marker of vascular disease and predictor of adverse outcomes to stress
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Endothelial cells (ECs) dynamically sense and adapt to their local biomechanical and biochemical environments, a process crucial for maintaining vascular homeostasis. Loss of this plasticity is implicated in vascular ... -
Order Under Pressure: Structural and Magnetic Characterization at Extreme Stresses
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Mechanical stress is an exquisitely versatile tool for controlling chemical bonding. This multi-dimensional synthetic lever tunes the electronic structure of elements and changes the way that atoms arrange and coordinate ...
