The Role of Porosity in SERS

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how engineered porous materials enhance surface‐enhanced Raman scatering (SERS) spectroscopy by synergizing analyte enrichment and electromagnetic field amplification. It is systematically evaluated four classes, nanoporous metals, plasmonic polymers, mesoporous silica, and metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs), highlighting their unique

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

Advanced 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.

Formation Control of Multi‐Agent System with Local Interaction and Artificial Potential Field

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article proposes a local interaction‐based formation control method for Multi‐Agent system, integrating consensus and leader‐follower strategies with a stress response mechanism—artificial potential field to reduce communication overhead and enable obstacle avoidance. Experimental results on triangular, square, and hexagonal formations confirm its
