Photochromic Diarylethene‐doped SU‐8 for Rewritable Optics and Integrated Photonic Switching

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A CMOS‐compatible photochromic host–guest material platform is realized by incorporating diarylethene molecules into SU‐8 photoresist. Reversible photoisomerization enables light‐programmable optical absorption, allowing rewritable optical patterning and port‐selective attenuation in integrated waveguides.

BISTABLE OPTICAL SOLITONS

Le Journal de Physique Colloques, 1988
We showed recently [1] that a single soliton solution of the highly-nonlinear Schrödinger equation becomes multi-stable for a certain class of nonlinearities. This implies that more than one amplitude profile and propagation constant of a single soliton may exist for the same total power carried by the soliton.

Auto‐Routing Fluidic Printed Circuit Boards

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces (STREAM) software tool for routing efficiently advanced macrofluidics, an open‐source software tool for automating the design of 3D‐printable fluidic circuit boards. STREAM streamlines tube routing and layout, enabling the rapid fabrication of fluidic networks for soft robotics, lab‐on‐a‐chip devices, microfluidics, and biohybrid ...

Dual‐Functional Ingestible Passive Capsules for High‐Throughput Intestinal Sampling with Sealed Containment and Targeted Drug Delivery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
To address challenges in high‐throughput intestinal sampling with sealed containment and target drug delivery, we developed a dual‐functional ingestible passive capsule with a dual‐triggered control system based on pH‐response and mechanical actuation.

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Sleep Slow Wave-Bistability and the Connection Between the Sleeping Brain and the Environment-Neurobiological Considerations. [PDF]

J Sleep Res
Bistability is an inherent working mode of NREM sleep. Those bistable patterns ‐ sleep slow waves, K‐complexes, and the cyclic alternating pattern (on a longer, several seconds' time‐scale) ‐ have a double function; they protect sleep and provide an interface between the brain and the environment for information‐transfer during sleep.

Signal amplification in a nanomechanical Duffing resonator via stochastic resonance

, 2006
We experimentally study stochastic resonance in a nonlinear bistable nanomechanical resonator. The device consists of a PdAu doubly clamped beam serving as a nanomechanical resonator excited capacitively by an adjacent gate electrode and its vibrations ...

A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.
