Bound States in the Continuum in Metasurface Absorbers: A Comparison with Metasurfaces
Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.Bound states in the continuum (BICs) offer a powerful mechanism for enhancing light–matter interactions. This work systematically investigates the radiation characteristics of BICs under both transmission and reflection configurations using multipolar analysis.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Relations in Earlier Medieval Latin Philosophy: Against the Standard Account
Enrahonar: Quaderns de Filosofia, 2018 Medieval philosophers before Ockham are usually said to have treated relations as real, monadic accidents. This “Standard Account” does not, however, fit in with most discussions of relations in the Latin tradition from Augustine to the end of the 12th ...
