A prominent rupture mode is self-healing slip pulses, which feature a finite slipping zone. The physics of slip pulses is qualitatively different from their expanding crack-like counterparts, as they involve the interplay between leading-edge contact breakage and trailing-edge re-strengthening (healing). The latter is intrinsically related to generic properties of frictional interactions at contacting interfaces, absent in ordinary fracture of bulk materials. In this talk, I will review a recently developed theory of two-dimensional slip pulses, which revealed intriguing dynamical properties of slip pulses and provided extensive predictions for their spatiotemporal evolution. The theoretical predictions are supported by large-scale numerical simulations and, more recently, by extensive laboratory experiments. The implications and potential applications of the theory will be discussed as time permits. <br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>References</strong>:\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2309374120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in new window\">The dynamics of unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [PNAS 120, e2309374120 (2023)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0012821X26000142\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">An equation of motion for unsteady frictional slip pulses</a> [EPSL 678, 119831 (2026)]</li>\r\n\t<li><a href=\"https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.26065\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">Lab earthquakes confirm the theory of frictional slip pulses</a> [arXiv:2608.26065 (2026)]</li>\r\n</ol>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography:</strong><br>\r\nEran Bouchbinder is a Professor at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel.

Achieving net-zero transport requires coordinated action across energy carriers, carbon flows and mitigation of other pollutants. This talk presents a multiscale engineering framework for sustainable mobility, organised around three complementary pathways: <u>f</u>uel development (F), <u>g</u>reenhouse-gas management (G) and mitigating <u>h</u>armful emissions beyond CO<sub>2</sub> (H). First, using solar-driven CO<sub>2</sub> conversion as an example, I will show how the precise transport of light, heat and fluids enables the coordinated design of materials, devices and systems, maximising solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency. Second, I will explore on-board carbon capture for road and maritime transport, together with distributed carbon-removal networks that use existing vehicles, ventilation systems and transport infrastructure. Third, I will discuss particulate matter generated by brake and tyre wear, illustrating how materials engineering can balance filtration efficiency, pressure drop and energy demand. Finally, the talk considers how techno-economic assessment and the interplay between technology, business and policy can move laboratory innovations towards industrial deployment.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Biography: </strong>Dr Xiangkun (Elvis) Cao (<a href=\"https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/elvis.cao\">https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/elvis.cao</a>) is currently an Assistant Professor at Imperial College London, holding joint appointments in Mechanical Engineering and the Grantham Institute. Cao leads the Laboratory for Integrated Green Harvesting & Transport, the LIGHT Lab, which seeks to engineer the physical systems for a sustainable future. Before joining Imperial, Cao was a Schmidt Science Fellow at MIT, where he pursued integrated carbon capture and utilisation under the guidance of Professor Ted Sargent. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University, his MEng in Materials Engineering from McGill University, and dual bachelor’s degrees in Energy and Power Engineering and English Literature from Xi’an Jiaotong University. He has published more than 30 first- or corresponding-author papers in journals including <em>Joule</em>, <em>Matter</em>, <em>Device</em> and <em>Advanced Materials</em>. Cao was named one of MIT Technology Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35 globally in 2024 and was previously recognised in Forbes 30 Under 30 in Energy for North America. His other honours include the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s German Chancellor Fellowship, the Activate Fellowship, the MIT Climate & Energy Prize, the Global Young Investigator Award in Separation Science, and the Carbon Capture Future Star Award, among others.", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-04T10:07:53", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-30T13:59:39", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "MED 0 1418", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==MED%200%201418", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/61360740951", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<a href=\"https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/elvis.cao\">Prof. Xiangkun (Elvis) Cao</a>, <a href=\"https://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/\">The Grantham Institute for Climate Change</a>, <a href=\"https://www.imperial.ac.uk/natural-sciences/\">Faculty of Natural Sciences</a>, <a href=\"https://www.imperial.ac.uk/\">Imperial College London</a>", "organizer": "<a href=\"https://people.epfl.ch/zhengmao.lu\">Prof. Zhengmao Lu</a>", "contact": "<a href=\"mailto:[email protected]\">Institute of Mechanical Engineering</a>", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "MechE Colloquium: Engineering Net-Zero Transport: From Future Fuels to Carbon and Emissions Management", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121715/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/232/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/270/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 72522, "title": "Information session - CAS in Technology", "slug": "information-session-cas-in-technology", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/information-session-cas-in-technology", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33761/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33761/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33761/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-10-06", "end_date": "2026-10-06", "start_time": "12:30:00", "end_time": "13:00:00", "description": "<p>Join our online information to get to know the <strong>EPFL SRVC executive program for Transforming Business with AI & Data Tech (CAS in Value Chain Data Technologies)</strong> with Executive Director Ms. Elaine Moran.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLearn how this program empowers professionals to drive sustainable innovation with AI, IoT & Digital Twins - and get all your questions answered.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>> <a href=\"https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/FPwsHW4-QTSmN8kUVse2Mw\">Register here</a></strong></p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-09-04T08:34:56", "last_modification_date": "2026-09-14T08:27:37", "link_label": "Registration", "link_url": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/FPwsHW4-QTSmN8kUVse2Mw", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "", "url_place_and_room": "", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/meeting/register/FPwsHW4-QTSmN8kUVse2Mw", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "- Elaine Moran, <em>SRVC Executive Director</em>", "organizer": "EPFL Executive Education", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Sur inscription", "en_label": "Registration required" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/121712/", "category": { "id": 4, "code": "DIVERS", "fr_label": "Autres types d’événement", "en_label": "Miscellaneous", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/3/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/416/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/437/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/438/?format=api" ] } ] }
