I am pleased to announce the publication of a new blog post on MeshAC: A 3D Mesh Generation and Adaptation Package for Multiscale Coupling Methods. This paper introduces the MeshAC package, which generates three-dimensional adaptive meshes tailored for efficient and robust implementation of multiscale coupling methods. The package addresses the challenges of mesh generation for multiscale coupling methods, tackling intrinsic discrete structures and the need to match these structures to the continuum domain at the interface. Additionally, MeshAC introduces a novel adaptive feature utilizing gradient-based a posteriori error estimation, ensuring an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency. The potential applications of this package are vast, with demonstrated capabilities in addressing complex material defects. Read the full post here: https://bit.ly/3UIKkUN

JGP's August issue is now available online: https://hubs.la/Q02JTR1s0. The cover represents voltage-dependent activation of spHCN channels tracked in realtime using fluorophores covalently linked to a Cys in the S4 helix to reveal different components of S4 movement. Structural modeling suggests that the distinct fluorescence responses result from different constraints on the fluorophore orientation in the resting and activated states.

In this article Hlanganani Nyembe (PhD) used a wide range of quantitative microstructural characterization techniques to link the material microstructure to the service life of turbine rotor components. The figure below shows a TKD crystallographic phase map of the different precipitate phases (~50 nm) that was collected using a scanning electron microscope.
