Fast 3D printing of fine, continuous, and soft fibers via embedded solvent exchange by Wonsik Eom, Mohammad Tanver Hossain, Vidush Parasramka, Jeongmin Kim, Ryan W. Y. Siu, Kate A. Sanders, Dakota Piorkowski, Andrew Lowe, Hyun Gi Koh, Michael F. L. De Volder, Douglas S. Fudge, Randy H. Ewoldt, Sameh H. Tawfick

“…Abstract Nature uses fibrous structures for sensing and structural functions as observed in hairs, whiskers, stereocilia, spider silks, and hagfish slime thread skeins. Here, we demonstrate multi-nozzle printing of 3D hair arrays having freeform trajectories at a very high rate, with fiber diameters as fine as 1.5 µm, continuous lengths reaching tens of centimeters, and a wide range of materials with elastic moduli from 5 MPa to 3500 MPa. …”

A Deep-Learning Approach to a Volumetric Radio Environment Map Construction for UAV-Assisted Networks by Bethelhem S. Shawel, Dereje H. Woldegebreal, Sofie Pollin

“…Specifically, the approach uses two deep learning-based models: volume-to-volume (Vol2Vol) VREM with 3D-generative adversarial networks and sliced VREM with altitude-aware spider-UNets. In both cases, knowledge of the propagation environment and transmitter locations in 3D space is used to capture the spatial and altitude dependency of the propagation channel’s characteristics. …”
