TLDR
In this article, a metal wire network is realized on common substrates such as glass, to serve as a transparent conducting electrode (TCE), which spontaneously forms a crackle network; the film is then used as a sacrificial template for metal deposition.Abstract:
A metal (Au) wire network, nearly invisible to the naked eye, has been realized on common substrates such as glass, to serve as a transparent conducting electrode (TCE). The process involves coating a TiO2 nanoparticle dispersion to a film thickness of ~10 μm, which following solvent evaporation, spontaneously forms a crackle network; the film is then used as a sacrificial template for metal deposition. The TCE thus formed exhibited visible transmittance of ~82% and sheet resistance of 3–6 Ω/square for a metal fill factor of 7.5%. With polyethylene terephthalate substrate, flexible and robust TCE could be produced and with quartz, the spectral range could be widened to cover UV and IR regions.read more

Kinetics and kinematics for translational motions in microgravity during parabolic flight.
TL;DR: The goal is to combine kinetic and kinematic data to examine translational motions during microgravity adaptations to encourage fine-control motions as these reduce the risk of injury and increase controllability.
