Self-dual pp-wave solutions in chiral higher-spin gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We show that chiral higher-spin gravity with a vanishing cosmological constant admits a class of exact self-dual pp-wave solutions derived from harmonic scalar functions and two principal spinors.

Bioinspired Adaptive Surfaces for Intelligent Liquid Manipulation: Progressing From Passive and Active to Hybrid Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines passive, active, and hybrid liquid manipulation strategies, highlighting hybrid approaches as an emerging route to reconcile energy efficiency with adaptive control. By actively reconstructing passive surfaces to store programmable interfacial energy, hybrid systems enable flexible yet low‐power liquid transport, with perspectives ...

An étude on global vacuum energy sequester

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2017
Recently two of the authors proposed a mechanism of vacuum energy sequester as a means of protecting the observable cosmological constant from quantum radiative corrections.

Ultrathin Hydrogel Membranes Inspired by Soap Films Enable Physiologically Relevant Breathing Lung Models

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A soap‐film inspired strategy enables the fabrication of ultrathin yet robust GelMA‐PAAm membranes for breathing lung culture. The hydrogel membrane supports long‐term cyclic deformation under air‐liquid interface conditions, enabling physiologically relevant breathing motions of engineered lung tissue culture. ABSTRACT Breathing continuously stretches

Classical and quantum cosmology in f(T)-gravity theory: A Noether symmetry approach

open access: yesInternational Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics, 2021
In the framework of [Formula: see text]-gravity theory, classical and quantum cosmology has been studied in this work for Friedmann Lemaitre Robertson Walker Metric (FLRW) space-time model. The Noether symmetry, a point-like symmetry of the Lagrangian, is used to the physical system and a specific functional form of [Formula: see text] is determined ...

Gravity and Gauge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Philosophers of physics and physicists have long been intrigued by the analogies and disanalogies between gravitational theories and (Yang-Mills-type) gauge theories.

Liquid Crystal Elastomer‐Based Haptic Pixel Arrays at Your Fingertips for Advanced Human–Machine Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We mechanically program liquid crystal elastomer coatings as a stimuli‐responsive and digitally addressable platform for refreshable tactile displays; we validate the perceptual performance of our dynamic device matches conventional static tactile media.

Five-point superluminality bounds

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We investigate how the speed of propagation of physical excitations is encoded in the coefficients of five-point interactions. This leads to a superluminality bound on scalar five-point interactions, which we present here for the first time.

Small free field inflation in higher curvature gravity

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2021
Within General Relativity, a minimally coupled scalar field governed by a quadratic potential is able to produce an accelerated expansion of the universe provided its value and excursion are larger than the Planck scale.

Quantum Gravity: Has Spacetime Quantum Properties? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The conceptual incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is generally seen as a sufficient motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity. If - so a typical argumentation - Quantum Mechanics gives a universally valid
