From hydrogels to eutectogels: Emerging platforms for stretchable electronics

FlexMat, EarlyView.
The transition of wearable electronics toward long‐term reliability requires materials that resist dehydration without sacrificing tissue‐like softness and ionic conductivity. Eutectogels fulfill these demands by immobilizing deep eutectic solvents within tailored polymer networks.

Eliciting expert judgement for the probability of AUV loss in contrasting operational environments [PDF]

, 2007
Each time an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is used in the sea there is a non-zero probability of loss. Quantifying probability of loss is not an exact science; therefore much depends on the fault history of the vehicle, the operational environment ...

Visual summaries for low-bandwidth semantic mapping with autonomous underwater vehicles [PDF]

, 2014
A fundamental problem in autonomous underwater robotics is the high latency between the capture of image data and the time at which operators are able to gain a visual understanding of the survey environment.

Nature‐Based and Community‐Level Responses to Climate Distress in Young People: A Systematic Review

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Climate change is both an environmental crisis and a growing source of psychological distress for young people, calling for responses that nurture emotional resilience and collective engagement. The emerging response to climate distress has mainly focused on formal psychological and individual‐level interventions.

Morphing of ‘flying’ shapes for autonomous underwater and aerial vehicles

, 2009
Autonomous vehicles are energy poor and should be designed to minimise the power required to propel them throughout their mission. The University of Southampton’s School of Engineering Sciences is actively involved in the development of improved designs ...
