Liquid Crystal Polymers as Intrinsically Magnetic and Programmable Soft Materials for Microrobotics

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are proposed as intrinsically magnetic, programmable, soft materials for microrobotics. Magnetic torque‐driven manipulation of LCP microobjects is achieved and characterized in terms of the step‐out frequency, reaching ∼0.6 Hz in a ∼250 mT magnetic field. The orientation of LCP microobjects in the magnetic field and their

Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

A Control Strategy for Variable Speed Condenser Based on Doubly‐Fed Machine

open access: yesIET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a variable speed condenser (VSC) control strategy based on a doubly fed machine. It can be installed in PV stations and wind farms to enhance the grid‐connection performance of renewable energy power plants. ABSTRACT The lack of active power support capability in power systems with large‐scale renewable energy integration has become

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
