    Description: Article Plasma accelerators driven by particle beams are a promising technology, but the acceleration distance and energy gain are strongly limited by head erosion in a high-ionization-potential gas. Here the authors observe up to 130% energy boost in a self-focused electron beam, with limited head erosion. Nature Communications doi: 10.1038/ncomms11898 Authors: S. Corde, E. Adli, J. M. Allen, W.

    Description: Nature Physics 10, 825 (2014). doi:10.1038/nphys3115 Authors: A. Soare, H. Ball, D. Hayes, J. Sastrawan, M. C. Jarratt, J. J. McLoughlin, X. Zhen, T. J. Green & M. J. Biercuk Extrinsic interference is routinely faced in systems engineering, and a common solution is to rely on a broad class of filtering techniques to afford stability to intrinsically unstable systems or isolate particular signals from a noisy background. Experimentalists leading the development of a new generation of quantum-enabled technologies similarly encounter time-varying noise in realistic laboratory settings. They face substantial challenges in either suppressing such noise for high-fidelity quantum operations or controllably exploiting it in quantum-enhanced sensing or system identification tasks , due to a lack of efficient, validated approaches to understanding and predicting quantum dynamics in the presence of realistic time-varying noise. In this work we use the theory of quantum control engineering and experiments with trapped 171Yb+ ions to study the dynamics of controlled quantum systems. Our results provide the first experimental validation of generalized filter-transfer functions casting arbitrary quantum control operations on qubits as noise spectral filters. We demonstrate the utility of these constructs for directly predicting the evolution of a quantum state in a realistic noisy environment as well as for developing novel robust control and sensing protocols. These experiments provide a significant advance in our understanding of the physics underlying controlled quantum dynamics, and unlock new capabilities for the emerging field of quantum systems engineering.

    Description: Additive manufacturing through material extrusion, often termed three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a burgeoning method for manufacturing thermoplastic components. However, a key obstacle facing 3D-printed plastic parts in engineering applications is the weak weld between successive filament traces, which often leads to delamination and mechanical failure. This is the chief obstacle to the use of thermoplastic additive manufacturing. We report a novel concept for welding 3D-printed thermoplastic interfaces using intense localized heating of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by microwave irradiation. The microwave heating of the CNT-polymer composites is a function of CNT percolation, as shown through in situ infrared imaging and simulation. We apply CNT-loaded coatings to a 3D printer filament; after printing, microwave irradiation is shown to improve the weld fracture strength by 275%. These remarkable results open up entirely new design spaces for additive manufacturing and also yield new insight into the coupling between dielectric properties and radio frequency field response for nanomaterial networks.

    Description: Stretchable, bendable, and foldable conductive coatings are crucial for wearable electronics and biometric sensors. These coatings should maintain functionality while simultaneously interfacing with different types of surfaces undergoing mechanical deformation. MXene sheets as conductive two-dimensional nanomaterials are promising for this purpose, but it is still extremely difficult to form surface-agnostic MXene coatings that can withstand extreme mechanical deformation. We report on conductive and conformal MXene multilayer coatings that can undergo large-scale mechanical deformation while maintaining a conductivity as high as 2000 S/m. MXene multilayers are successfully deposited onto flexible polymer sheets, stretchable poly(dimethylsiloxane), nylon fiber, glass, and silicon. The coating shows a recoverable resistance response to bending (up to 2.5-mm bending radius) and stretching (up to 40% tensile strain), which was leveraged for detecting human motion and topographical scanning. We anticipate that this discovery will allow for the implementation of MXene-based coatings onto mechanically deformable objects.
