Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Active Oscillations of Elastic Membranes Arising from the Coupling with a Catalytic Reaction
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Coupling an elastic membrane to a catalytic reaction produces active oscillations that self‐sustain for hours: the membrane cyclically inflates and deflates as the reaction spontaneously activates and deactivates, without external power. Energy release is directly embodied in the oscillation dynamics, opening elasto‐chemical strategies for the physical

Deflating Deflationary Truthmaking [PDF]
The Philosophical Quarterly, 2019 AbstractIn this paper we confront a challenge to truthmaker theory that is analogous to the objections raised by deflationists against substantive theories of truth. Several critics of truthmaker theory espouse a ‘deflationary’ attitude about truthmaking, though it has not been clearly presented as such. Our goal is to articulate and then object to the

Deflation and output across sectors: results for the Czech Republic [PDF]
, 2018 The present paper looks into the relationship between deflation and economic output. Previous studies relied uniquely on annual macroeconomic data on GDP and prices, which caused lack of observations on deflation. This paper uses panel data on 86 sectors

Vine‐Inspired Soft Robotics: Materials, Actuations, and Emerging Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Vine‐inspired robots grow from the tip, enabling navigation through confined spaces with minimal disturbance. This Review summarizes material and actuation strategies for vine‐inspired growth, key functions including steering, retraction, attachment, branching, and variable stiffness, and emerging applications spanning medical intervention, confined ...

Quantifying rates of soil deflation with Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry in west Greenland
, 2018 Aeolian processes are important drivers of geomorphic change in cold regions. Because these processes often occur at slow timescales over large areas, it can be difficult to quantify rates using traditional field methods.

Deflation and Japan Revisited [PDF]
Deflation counts among the worst things that could happen to an economy, the conventional wisdom tells us. But are falling prices really that bad? According to the Austrian School of Economics, this is not necessarily the case.
