Controlling Polystyrene Particle Distribution in Colloidal Lithography For Correlated‐Disorder Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Colloidal lithography is a low‐cost, simple and scalable technique to fabricate correlated‐disorder nanostructures for light‐trapping in solar cells. This work investigates the control of polystyrene particle distribution in colloidal lithography, highlighting the importance of particle surface functionalization as well as the ability to tune the ...

Agglomeration economies, globalization and productivity. Firm level evidence for Slovenia. [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper analyzes the impact of agglomeration economies on firm level performance measured by total factor productivity for Slovenia. To estimate total factor productivity, we use a control function approach to capture endogenous input choices and self

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

"Consumption Side Agglomeration Economies in Japanese Cities" [PDF]

open access: yes
We estimate the consumption values of urban agglomeration economies and social overhead capital for Japanese metropolitan areas. Following the pioneering work of Tabuchi and Yoshida (2000), our approach exploits the fact that consumers tolerate higher ...

A Superlubricated Magnetically Steerable Microcatheter with Integrated Optical and Fluidic Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetically steerable microcatheter with integrated optical and fluidic channels is developed for multifunctional navigation in tortuous anatomical environments. A surface‐grafted hydrogel coating enables low‐friction actuation. The device demonstrates stable light and fluid delivery during magnetic manipulation, offering a compact platform for ...

Measuring agglomeration of agglomerated particles pictures

open access: yesMeasuring agglomeration of agglomerated particles pictures
In this article, we introduce a novel geometrical index δ_, which is associated with the Euler number and is obtained by an image processing procedure for a given digital picture of aggregated particles such that δ_ exhibits the degree of the agglomerations of the particles. In the previous work (Matsutani, Shimosako, Wang, Appl. Math.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...
