Arthropod‐Inspired Miniature Modular Vibration Direct‐Drive Robot With Untethered Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents an arthropod‐inspired untethered miniature modular vibration direct‐drive robot. By utilizing standardized driving units and nested locking interfaces, on‐demand reconfiguration into quadruped, hexapod, octopod, and circular morphologies is achieved.

Speed Control of Single Molecules on a Surface

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The speed of a single molecule moving across a silver crystal surface is determined with the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Travelling distances Δx and travelling times Δt, which are determined simultaneously with high precision, allow to directly measure time–distance relationships.

Railway corrugation noise growth prediction

open access: yes, 2012
Rail corrugation is a frequent rail wear pattern along tangents and curves that result in distinct undesirable noise. Rail corrugation is a common aspect in all transit systems and much research has been pursued to predict and mitigate its growth on ...

Mechanism of short pitch rail corrugation: initial excitation and frequency selection for consistent initiation and growth

open access: yes, 2022
This paper proposes a new hypothesis for the formation process of short pitch rail corrugation. An FE wheel-track dynamic model is utilized to verify the hypothesis by reproducing corrugation initiation and consistent growth.

Diverse corrugation pattern in radially shrinking carbon nanotubes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Stable cross sections of multiwalled carbon nanotubes subjected to electron-beam irradiation are investigated in the realm of the continuum mechanics approximation. The self-healing nature of sp2 graphitic sheets implies that selective irradiation of the

Mechanistic Insights Into Instability From Single Void Dynamics at the Lithium Metal‐Solid Electrolyte Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Void morphology at the lithium metal‐solid electrolyte contact governs electrochemical contact stability in all‐solid‐state batteries. This work resolves the competing roles of electrochemical reaction, bulk vacancy diffusion, and distinct surface diffusion pathways in dictating the size and morphology evolution of a single void and its transition to a

Interfacial Asymmetry and Surface Roughness Enhanced Topological‐Hall‐Like Transport in SRO/BTO/SRO Trilayers

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Trilayer oxide architecture introduces interfacial asymmetry and surface roughness in SRO/BTO/SRO heterostructures, creating a locally modulated polar and magnetic landscape. This design enhances the topological‐Hall‐like response, achieving a broad 5–90 K stability window and a maximum ρTHE of 0.8 µΩ cm, demonstrating an effective route to amplify ...
