Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Origami structures are endowed with “living” polymer creases that grow, remodel, and stiffen in response to nutrient solutions. This post‐fabrication growth enables autonomous folding, iterative regrowth, and mechanical tuning involving origami assemblies, such as cranes, Miura‐ori tessellations, rigid and non‐rigid square‐twist patterns, establishing ...

, 1993 \small The SL$(2,R)/U(1)$ coset model, with $U(1)$ an element of the third conjugacy class of $SL(2,R)$ subgroups, is considered. The resulting theory is seen to collapse to a one dimensional field theory of Liouville. Then the 2 dimensional black hole $SL(2,R)/U(1)$, with $U(1)$ a non-compact subgroup boosted by a Lorentz transformation, is considered.

Generalized 2D dilaton gravity and kinetic gravity braiding [PDF]
Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2019 Abstract We show explicitly that the nonminimal coupling between the scalar field and the Ricci scalar in 2D dilaton gravity can be recast in the form of kinetic gravity braiding (KGB). This is as it should be, because KGB is the 2D version of the Horndeski theory.

The philosophy behind quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2006 This paper investigates some of the philosophical and conceptual issues raised by the search for a quantum theory of gravity. It is critically discussed whether such a theory is necessary in the first place, and how much would be accomplished if it is ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

Why gravity is not an entropic force [PDF]
, 2010 The remarkable connections between gravity and thermodynamics seem to imply that gravity is not fundamental but emergent, and in particular, as Verlinde suggested, gravity is probably an entropic force.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We mechanically program liquid crystal elastomer coatings as a stimuli‐responsive and digitally addressable platform for refreshable tactile displays; we validate the perceptual performance of our dynamic device matches conventional static tactile media.

2D GRAVITY COUPLED TO TOPOLOGICAL MINIMAL MODELS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1995 We discuss the properties of genus 0 correlation functions of a topological minimal model (the model Ak+1) coupled to 2D topological gravity. The action of the twisted minimal model is perturbed by nontrivial couplings to gravitational descendants, which, in turn, are constructed entirely from the fields in the matter sector of the theory.

Quantum astrometric observables II: time delay in linearized quantum gravity [PDF]
, 2013 A clock synchronization thought experiment is modeled by a diffeomorphism invariant "time delay" observable. In a sense, this observable probes the causal structure of the ambient Lorentzian spacetime. Thus, upon quantization, it is sensitive to the long
