DOI: 10.1002/admi.201901677
Abstract: Self-folding broadly refers to the assembly of 3D structures by bending, curving, and folding without the need for manual or mechanized intervention. Self-folding is scientifically interesting because examples of self-folded structures, from plant leaves to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10596-018-9760-6
Abstract: Multi-phase flow in porous media in the presence of viscous, gravitational, and capillary forces is described by advection diffusion equations with nonlinear parameters of relative permeability and capillary pressures. The conventional numerical method employs a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1901160116
Abstract: Significance Capillary effects in cement paste are associated with multiple degradation mechanisms. Using a framework, we investigated the role of capillary forces in cement paste under partial saturation from the nanograins level to the mesoscale.… read more here.
