A Novel Technique for Producing Ultrastrong 2D Polymers
A group of materials science researchers have developed a new polymerization technique for producing strong and lightweight 2D polymers (a creation that was thought to be impossible!)
Simulating MEMS Accelerometers and Gyroscopes Used in Inertial Measurement Units
Many autonomous vehicles rely on IMUs for navigation. Here, we show how the MEMS Module can help you model the gyroscopes and accelerometers used in IMUs.
Improving Tabbing Design in Cylindrical Batteries
A major electric vehicle and battery manufacturer announced a new “tabless” design concept for cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. In this blog post, we explore this concept with simulation.
