Congratulations to Dr. David Levine (David Levine) who successfully defended his doctoral dissertation on "High Performance Electroadhesives for Materials and Robots with Electroprogrammable Stiffness" under the advisory of Kevin T Turner and PikulLab. 🎉

If anyone (primarily, electrochemists, battery engineers, materials scientists, electrolyte chemists, organic chemists, but also any other related field) wants to do a Postdoc in a fun, new lab with an exciting industry-funded project on Li metal batteries..DM me ASAP #aiche23

What an awesome and fun collaboration with Kevin and Ryan. This is just the beginning. Read it open access here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A team led by UW-Madison Mechanical Engineering’s PikulLab has developed a new design for haptic systems that could deliver more realistic sensory experiences in virtual reality and boost exoskeletons, prosthetics, finger-gripping systems, and shape-shifting robots. engineering.wisc.edu/news/a-new-ele…

A great opportunity for #softrobotics researchers to showcase their work on shape morphing robots. Submit a poster to the workshop below at #IEEE #RoboSoft24. I will be talking about our work on electroadhesive clutches to program stiffness and shape in soft robots.

Join Sam Tawfick and I in our Materials Research Society (MRS) conversation with experts on Materials for Powering Miniature Robots on February 21. Hear from Aimy Wissa at Princeton Engineering, Marc Miskin at Penn Engineering and Minshen Zhu at tu-chemnitz.de mrs.digitellinc.com/live/1344/page…

Three new electrochemistry-focused research labs are up and running in UW-Madison Mechanical Engineering. PikulLab, Eric Kazyak and Luca Mastropasqua, PhD are working together to develop new solutions in batteries, fuel cells, soft robotics and self-healing metals. engineering.wisc.edu/blog/new-elect…

We're turning UW into an electrochemical powerhouse connected to heavy industry. More to come.

Probably not a good use of money. Talked to several industrial companies electrifying and hydrogen is so far away from delivering what their customers want that they aren't even considering it. Better nonEV batteries would be a better investment. #politicsinengineering

At ACS today and tomorrow. Let me know if you want to get coffee and beignets. Talking about our 750 wh/kg liquid catholytes for robots on Tuesday 11:30 AM Room 225 - Ernest N. Morial Convention Center

Introducing tactile skin sim-to-real for dexterous in-hand translation! We propose a simulation model for ReSkin, a magnetic tactile sensing skin. It can simulate ternary shear and binary normal forces. More: jessicayin.github.io/tactile-skin-r…

Great paper, and I learned a lot!

I'm sharing a recent collaboration with Lin Wang and Eric Detsi. We doubled the cycle life (2,000+) of magnesium ion battery anodes using a solid-liquid phase transition that heals anode damage during cycling at room temperature. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…

Inspired by the human body's circulatory system, UW-Madison Mechanical Engineering’s PikulLab created a liquid energy storage and delivery system that could power future robots and make chemical manufacturing more sustainable. engineering.wisc.edu/news/borrowing…
