Liquid Metal Sensors for Soft Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review thoroughly reviews liquid metal sensors in soft robots. Their unique material properties like high conductivity and good biocompatibility are analyzed. Working principles are classified, and applications in environmental perception, motion detection, and human—robot interaction are introduced.

Roots of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function and of characteristic polynomials

, 2010
We investigate the horizontal distribution of zeros of the derivative of the Riemann zeta function and compare this to the radial distribution of zeros of the derivative of the characteristic polynomial of a random unitary matrix.

Electrical Control of the Transduction Channels’ Gating Force in Mechanosensory Hair Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The inner ear's hair cells rely on mechanosensitive ion channels to convert vibrations of their hair‐bundle into electrical signals. We show that varying the electrical potential (U) across the sensory epithelium modulates a key determinant of mechanosensitivity—the gating force (FG)—by modulating the gating swing (d), ranging from the size of the ...

The surprising external upturn of the Blue Straggler radial distribution in M55

, 2007
By combining high-resolution HST and wide-field ground based observations, in ultraviolet and optical bands, we study the Blue Straggler Star (BSS) population of the low density galactic globular cluster M55 (NGC 6809) over its entire radial extent.

Are Echinoderm Egg Size Distributions Bimodal?

The Biological Bulletin, 1997
Marine invertebrates can be categorized into species that reproduce by producing either large numbers of small, energetically inexpensive eggs that become planktotrophic larvae, or fewer, larger eggs with more yolk and lecithotrophic development (1).

Recent Advances in Decoupling Strategies for Soft Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of recent advances in decoupling strategies for soft sensors. It summarizes single‐modal sensors that are insensitive to stretching, bending, crosstalk, and other environmental interferences, and highlights emerging multimodal decoupling methods enabled by spatiotemporal information and machine learning.

Dynamics of fully coupled rotators with unimodal and bimodal frequency distribution

, 2015
We analyze the synchronization transition of a globally coupled network of N phase oscillators with inertia (rotators) whose natural frequencies are unimodally or bimodally distributed. In the unimodal case, the system exhibits a discontinuous hysteretic

Aberrant Splicing Signatures Underpin Oligodendrocyte Damage in ALS and Neuron Loss in FTD

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrating bulk and single‐nucleus RNA‐seq from ALS and FTD patients, we revealed distinct cellular dysfunctions, with severe oligodendrocyte damage in ALS and pronounced neuron loss in FTD. We identified cell‐type‐specific aberrant splicing events as potential biomarkers with robust classification performance, some of which produce de novo peptides ...

A Novel Bimodal Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Model for Evaluating Rainfall-Induced Unsaturated Slope Stability

Geosciences
The soil water characteristic curve (SWCC) is a key foundation in unsaturated soil mechanics describing the relationship between matric suction and water content, which is crucial for studies on effective stress, permeability coefficients, and other soil
