Two‐Step Thermal Upcycling of Flexible Printed Circuit Board Waste Into Metallic Copper Nanoparticles: Synthesis and Characterization

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐step thermal upcycling process converts flexible printed circuit board waste into high‐purity copper nanoparticles using polymer degradation and arc discharge. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibit controlled morphology and high metal purity.

An approach to decentralized computer systems [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 1986
The technology for distributed computing is available. However, it is argued that decentralized systems will always require more careful design, planning, and management than their centralized counterparts. The rationale for and against decentralization is given, and a technical approach to decentralized systems is sketched.

Chitin‐Chitosan Cryogels for the Reversible Sequestration and Recovery of Heavy Metals From Wastewater

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Chitin‐chitosan cryogels with degrees of N‐acetylation from 12.2% to 71.4% are fabricated by dissolution, coagulation and lyophilization for the sequestration of heavy metals from water. Colorimetry and differential pulse voltammetry showed controlled adsorption and desorption capacities for As5+, Co2+ and Cu2+, making this material attractive for ...

Decentralized Value Systems Agreements

Proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems
One of the biggest challenges of value-based decision-making is dealing with the subjective nature of values. The relative importance of a value for a particular decision varies between individuals, and people may also have different interpretations of what aligning with a value means in a given situation. While members of a society are likely to share

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
