following a hiatus in which the singer was cast in the role of Glinda in the film version of the Broadway musical Wicked.

Topology optimization is a technique that generates the most efficient distribution of material based on performance criteria.the team has developed a method that allows for the efficient use of material by placing it precisely where it’s needed for structural purposes.

Researchers at the University of Michigan have made a transformative breakthrough in 3D concrete printing.Architect Mania Aghaei Meibodi and researchers Alireza Bayramvand and Yuxin Lin of the DART lab at U-Ms Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning have developed a groundbreaking method for creating ultra-lightweight.3D printing is gaining popularity in the construction industry for its ability to create complex shapes and structures with less waste quickly.

“One aspect of this reinforcement learning approach is that we must design a good reward to facilitate the robot learning a successful dribbling behavior.

Over time it learns to get better and better at manipulating the soccer ball to match the desired velocity.Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research have focused on the life cycle of solid-state batteries.

but do dendrites grow from the negative to the positive pole or the other way around? Or do they sprout from either pole equally? Or are there specific locations within the battery that promote nucleation and subsequent dendritic growth?Paying attention to “grain limits”The team led by Rüdiger Berger paid close attention to what is known as “grain limits” in the ceramic solid electrolyte.We find that the Galvani potential drops at grain boundaries near the lithium metal electrode during plating as a response to the preferential accumulation of electrons.

the role of grain boundaries in the nucleation and dendritic growth of metallic lithium is not yet fully understood.The issue has now been taken up by a team from Hans-Jürgen Butt’s department led by Rüdiger Berger.
