Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

A Mussel‐Inspired Bioadhesive Patch to Selectively Kill Glioblastoma Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An innovative mussel‐inspired bioadhesive patch has been developed for post‐surgical glioblastoma treatment. The patch, which adheres strongly in biological environments, releases a localized treatment. This treatment, acting via reactive oxygen species, shows specific toxicity to glioblastoma cells.

Toward Complete CO2 Electroconversion: Status, Challenges, and Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction and CO2 batteries face challenges in achieving complete CO2 conversion with high conversion rates and Faradaic efficiency simultaneously. Existing systems compromise one for the other with incomplete CO2 conversion and inefficiencies, hindering practical applications. This perspective highlights state‐of‐the‐art progress,

On the mathematical form of CVA in Basel III. [PDF]

open access: yes
Credit valuation adjustment in Basel III is studied from the perspective of the mathematics involved. A bank covers mark-to-market losses for expected counterparty risk with a CVA capital charge. The CVA is known as credit valuation adjustments.

Pricing Model and Credit Valuation Adjustment

open access: yes, 2020
This article presents a generic model for pricing derivatives subject to counterparty credit risk. We study various cases: one-way and two-way, single payment and multiple payments, positive and negative payoffs. Our theory shows that the valuation of defaultable derivatives in most situations requires a backward induction procedure.

Mitigating Structural Degradation in O3‐Layered Sodium‐Ion Cathodes: Insights from Mg Doping in NaNi0.2Fe0.4Mn0.4O2

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Selective Mg doping in O3‐layered NaNi0.2Fe0.4Mn0.4O2 unlocks fast Na⁺ transport, stable anionic redox, and structural resilience. At 5% substitution, the cathode delivers improved capacity retention and high‐rate performance, while suppressing oxygen loss.

Do Consumers Value Diversity in Agriculture? A Choice Experiment

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm ownership in the US today is racially and ethnically homogeneous. Diverse farmers and ranchers make up less than 10% of all producers, they tend to be less financially stable and have tighter profit margins. In the past few years, both government and industry programs have aimed to increase the participation and profitability of diverse ...
