... incorporated into large-scale manufacturing processes. One barrier is the incomplete understanding of the assembly process. While an ideal final pattern geometry can be calculated from the acoustic field and material properties, there are currently no widespread metrics for measuring the progress...

...-inspired directional adhesives range from fumble-free football gloves to manufacturing processes involving the handling of materials. However, if these adhesives are to see widespread use outside of the laboratory, a scalable and cost-effective production method must be found. As a further...
