Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Trust in disaster resilience

open access: yesDisaster Prevention and Management: An International Journal, 2023
PurposeThe erosion of ‘trust’ (among citizens as well as within and between institutional levels) is a worrying aspect of these turbulent times in Europe and beyond. Trust (between citizens and institutions, citizens and experts, policymakers and experts, and among different levels of governance) is crucial in all dimensions of disaster resilience ...

Thermoresponsive Self‐Healing Carbon Nanotube‐Reinforced Dual‐Network Hydrogels for Wearable Sensors and Information Concealment

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A CNT‐reinforced dual‐network hydrogel combines ionic liquid‐mediated thermoresponsiveness, dynamic covalent crosslinking, and conductive nanostructures within a single adaptive material. The hydrogel exhibits ultrafast gelation, autonomous self‐healing, >1000% stretchability, reversible optical switching, and stable electromechanical sensing, enabling

Continual Learning for Multimodal Data Fusion of a Soft Gripper

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Models trained on a single data modality often struggle to generalize when exposed to a different modality. This work introduces a continual learning algorithm capable of incrementally learning different data modalities by leveraging both class‐incremental and domain‐incremental learning scenarios in an artificial environment where labeled data is ...

Integrated flood risk mapping using analytical hierarchy process and geospatial techniques in Lalmonirhat district, northern Bangladesh

open access: yesDiscover Geoscience
The Teesta-Dharla floodplain of northern Bangladesh experiences recurrent monsoon flooding due to transboundary river flows, low elevation, and intense rainfall, necessitating localized flood risk assessment for effective flood management.

On the use of tsunami-source data for high-resolution fault imaging of offshore earthquakes

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2023
The source imaging for offshore earthquakes using terrestrial geodetic data has a limited estimation performance due to the low data resolution. One approach to overcome this limitation is the use of seafloor geodetic data.

A Self‐Healing Permanent Magnet Putty for Soft Robot Skins With Force Sensing and Functional Recovery

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Permanent magnet putty (PMP) integrates high‐coercivity NdFeB particles with a dynamic polyborosiloxane–Ecoflex matrix, achieving rapid self‐healing (90% mechanical recovery in 10 s) and magnetic recovery within 20 min. With twice the sensitivity of commercial putties, PMP enables precise 5–30 N force detection and discrimination between pressing and ...
