Multi-scale imaging of high-pressure hydrogen induced damage in EPDM rubber using X-ray microcomputed tomography, helium-ion microscopy and transmission electron microscopy
Ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber has gained increasing interest for use in hydrogen infrastructure due to its excellent sealing performance and low temperature properties. However, severe structural damage has been observed in EPDM O-rings after exposure to high-pressure hydrogen. The origination and propagation mechanisms of this damage are poorly understood. Here, to address this knowledge gap, multi-scale imaging leveraging X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), helium ion microscopy (HeIM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used in this work to study a series of sulfur-cured ethylene propylene diene (EPDM) rubber materials with varying additives that were exposed to different hydrogen environments. Micro-CT captured the substantial structural damage due to hydrogen exposure; it revealed an association between zinc oxide (ZnO) particles and damage initiation. Further studies by TEM and scanning TEM with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) were focused on these particles at the micro-to nano-scale range. TEM indicated that hydrogen causes void formation at the interface between ZnO and the rubber matrix. HeIM enabled imaging of surface morphology of the material at high resolution pre- and post-hydrogen exposure while providing information on chemical composition and that cannot be captured by either micro-CT or TEM.

Operando X-Ray Tomography Imaging of Solid-State Electrolyte Response to Li Evolution under Realistic Operating Conditions
Solid-state Li-ion conductors are a next-generation battery technology that are particularly promising for electric vehicles, offering the capacitive benefits of Li metal anodes with nonflammable electrolytes. Microstructural evolution in these solid-state batteries, especially the Li anode, requires deeper understanding of the conditions under which certain undesired behaviors are more likely to occur. This study utilizes operando X-ray computed tomography to visualize the behavior of lithium in response to device operation, considering variables that are relevant to a realistic battery: stack pressure, microscale defects such as pores, and temperature. This work demonstrates that experimental and operational conditions, especially temperature, affect the fundamental driving forces of realistic solid electrolyte systems and provides visual insight into possible mechanisms of Li migration. In particular, the effect of these variables on Li propagation from the anode through pre-existing defects and Li nucleation within the imperfectly electron-insulating electrolyte is highlighted.

Survey of Deep Learning and Physics-Based Approaches in Computational Wave Imaging
Computational wave imaging (CWI) extracts hidden structure and physical properties of a volume of material by analyzing wave signals that traverse that volume. Applications include seismic exploration of the Earth’s subsurface, acoustic imaging and nondestructive testing (NDT) in material science, and ultrasound computed tomography (USCT) in medicine. Current approaches for solving CWI problems can be divided into two categories: those rooted in traditional physics and those based on deep learning. Physics-based methods stand out for their ability to provide high-resolution and quantitatively accurate estimates of acoustic properties within the medium. However, they can be computationally intensive and are susceptible to ill-posedness and nonconvexity typical of CWI problems. Machine learning (ML)-based computational methods have recently emerged, offering a different perspective to address these challenges. Diverse scientific communities have independently pursued the integration of deep learning in CWI. This review discusses how contemporary scientific ML techniques, and deep neural networks in particular, have been developed to enhance and integrate with traditional physics-based methods for solving CWI problems. We present a structured framework that consolidates existing research spanning multiple domains, including computational imaging, wave physics, and data science. This study concludes with important lessons learned from existing ML-based methods and identifies technical hurdles and emerging trends through a systematic analysis of the extensive literature on this topic.

Micromechanical aspects of deformation and failure of advanced Iron-Chromium-Aluminum alloys
Here this work investigates the micromechanical deformation and failure mechanisms of advanced FeCrAl alloys developed for use in nuclear reactors as cladding material. Three different FeCrAl alloys (82-X)Fe-13Cr-5Al-X (X=Nb, TiC, 0 for base alloy) were investigated both in their as-received and welded states. In-situ neutron diffraction with simultaneous digital image correlation was used to determine micromechanical deformation mechanisms not only as a function of elemental composition but also as a condition of state (as-received vs. welded). Ex-situ X-ray computed tomography was used on as-deformed samples to help determine the failure mechanisms and void initiation strains.

Closed-Form Approximation of the Total Variation Proximal Operator
Total variation (TV) is a widely used function for regularizing imaging inverse problems that is particularly appropriate for images whose underlying structure is piecewise constant. TV regularized optimization problems are typically solved using proximal methods, but the way in which they are applied is constrained by the absence of a closed-form expression for the proximal operator of the TV function. A closed-form approximation of the TV proximal operator has previously been proposed, but its accuracy was not theoretically explored in detail. Here, we address this gap by making several new theoretical contributions, proving that the approximation leads to a proximal operator of some convex function, it is equivalent to a gradient descent step on a smoothed version of TV, and that its error can be fully characterized and controlled with its scaling parameter. We experimentally validate our theoretical results on image denoising and sparse-view computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction.

Spatiotemporally Registered In-Situ and Ex-Situ Datasets for Laser-based Blown Powder Directed Energy Deposition
This dataset is comprised of in situ sensing data collected during laser-based, blown powder directed energy deposition (DED) of Inconel 718 representing eight different printing conditions: (1) nominal, (2) +15% scan speed, (3) +12% laser power, (4) +42% powder feed rate, (5) +100% jerk limit, (6) +10% layer height, (7) +20% hatch spacing, (8) +20% carrier gas flow. All eight DED builds constructed an identical test coupon geometry consisting of geometric features representative of industrial print requirements (e.g., bulk deposition, thin walls, overhangs). In situ data consists of xyz-coordinates (100 Hz) and on-axis melt pool camera video (60 Hz), both of which have been temporally synchronized to spatially map the melt pool camera data. In addition, post-build X-ray computed tomography (XCT) data for each of the eight test geometries have been spatially registered to the recorded xyz-coordinates, allowing for comparisons between melt pool camera data and flaws identified in the XCT data.

It’s Not What You Take Up, It’s What You Keep: How Discoveries from Diverse Disciplines Directed the Development of the FDG PET/CT Scan
Although imaging glucose metabolism with positron emission tomography combined with X-ray CT (FDG-PET/CT) has become a standard diagnostic modality for the discovery and surveillance of malignant tumors and inflammatory processes, its origins extend back to more than a century of notable discoveries in the fields of inorganic and organic chemistry, nuclear physics, mathematics, biochemistry, solute transport physiology, metabolism, and imaging, accomplished by pioneering and driven investigators, of whom at least ten were recipients of the Nobel Prize. These tangled and diverse roots eventually coalesced into the FDG-PET/CT method, that through its many favorable characteristics inherent in the isotope used ( 18 F), the accurate imaging derived from coincidence detection of positron annihilation radiation combined with computed tomography, and the metabolic trapping of 2-deoxy-2-[ 18 F] fluoro-d-glucose (FDG) in tissues, provides safety, sensitivity, and specificity for tumor and inflammation detection. Here, the authors hope that this article will increase the appreciation among its readers of the insight, creativity, persistence, and drive of the many investigators who made this technique possible. This article is followed by a review of the many applications of FDG-PET/CT to the gastrointestinal tract and hepatobiliary system (Mandelkern in Dig Dis Sci 2022)
