Membrane Wrapping for High Capacity and Rapidly Switchable Adhesives
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A membrane‐wrapping mechanism enables high‐capacity, rapidly switchable adhesion by coupling suction, friction, and adhesion. Broadband performance is achieved in dry and underwater conditions, allowing fast, reversible manipulation of objects of diverse sizes and shapes, from delicate eggs and berries to flat, complex, or heavy objects. These outcomes

An uplifting discussion of T-duality
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 It is well known that string theory has a T-duality symmetry relating circle compactifications of large and small radius. This symmetry plays a foundational role in string theory.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Dicarboxylate‐modified anionic hairy cellulose nanocrystals exhibit a high selectivity for dysprosium(III) over neodymium(III). This selectivity arises from disordered dicarboxylate cellulose “hairs” that enable cooperative ionic coordination, hydrogen bonding, and strain‐induced conformational shrinkage.

Quadratic Rastall gravity: from low-mass HESS J1731−347 to high-mass PSR J0952−0607 pulsars
European Physical Journal C: Particles and FieldsSimilar to Rastall gravity we introduce matter-geometry nonminimal coupling which is proportional to the gradient of quadratic curvature invariants.

Radial coordinates for defect CFTs
, 2018 We study the two-point function of local operators in the presence of a defect in a generic conformal field theory. We define two pairs of cross ratios, which are convenient in the analysis of the OPE in the bulk and defect channel respectively.

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Universal bounds on CFT Distance Conjecture
Journal of High Energy PhysicsFor any unitary conformal field theory in two dimensions with the central charge c, we prove that, if there is a nontrivial primary operator whose conformal dimension ∆ vanishes in some limit on the conformal manifold, the Zamolodchikov distance t to the

Geometry and Shape of Minkowski's Space Conformal Infinity
, 2011 We review and further analyze Penrose's 'light cone at infinity' - the conformal closure of Minkowski space. Examples of a potential confusion in the existing literature about it's geometry and shape are pointed out.

Conductive Bonding and System Architectures for High‐Performance Flexible Electronics
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review outlines bonding technologies and structural design strategies that support high‐performance flexible and stretchable electronics. Bonding approaches such as surface‐activated bonding and anisotropic conductive films, together with system‐level architectures including buffer layers and island‐bridge structures, possess distinct mechanical ...
