Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...

Agency Costs in Law-Firm Selection: Are Companies Under-Spending on Counsel? [PDF]
, 2016 A growing body of literature examines whether corporate clients derive sufficient value from the law firms that they engage. Yet little attention has been paid to whether clients optimally select among law firms in the first place.

3D‐Printed Serial Snap‐Through Architectures for Programmable Mechanical Response
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A serial snap‐through architecture is realized using compact 3D‐printed von Mises truss units arranged in a staged cascade. Their geometry and boundary conditions program multistage mechanical responses with plateaux and re‐hardening regimes. An inverted‐compliance model predicts these behaviors and enables analytical design of programmable force ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Thermal transport in Ru and W thin films is studied using steady‐state thermoreflectance, ultrafast pump–probe spectroscopy, infrared‐visible spectroscopy, and computations. Significant Lorenz number deviations reveal strong phonon contributions, reaching 45% in Ru and 62% in W.

Unintended Consequences: State Merger Statutes and Nonassignable Licenses [PDF]
, 2003 The confused state of most state corporate merger statutes allows many intellectual property licenses to find their way into unintended hands by way of corporate merger, in spite of non-assignment clauses.

Ionic Control of Microstructure and Lubrication in Charged, Physically Cross‐Linked Hydrogels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Here, charged, physically cross‐linked poly(methacrylamide‐co‐methacrylic acid) hydrogels stabilized by a short‐range attractive, long‐range repulsive potential is investigated. This work uncovers how salt addition alters not only swelling, but also the microstructure and dynamics, near‐surface stiffness and charge, and ultimately, its lubricity. Salts
