Surface Segregation in Compositionally Complex Ag‐Au‐Pd‐Pt Solid Solutions: Insights From High‐Throughput Experimentation and Atomistic Simulations

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Surface segregation in quaternary Ag‐Au‐Pd‐Pt compositionally complex solid solutions is systematically mapped across 684 compositions by combining high‐throughput EDX and XPS characterization of co‐sputtered thin‐film libraries with large‐scale MD/MC atomistic simulations.

Strain‐Activated Mechanical Metamaterial With Programmable Dual‐Phase Stiffness and Enhanced Energy Absorption

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A strain‐activated mechanical metamaterial is developed to achieve programmable dual‐phase stiffness through an intrinsic geometric locking mechanism. Finite element modeling and parametric analysis identify the key design parameters governing activation strain, stiffness transition, and energy absorption.

Hybridization of Gap Plasmons and Grating‐Coupled Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Metal Nanoparticle Cluster Arrays on a Mirror

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Here we use a template‐assisted self‐assembly approach of metal colloids onto metal films to produce hybrid plasmonic metasurfaces that integrate nanoparticle‐on‐mirror cavities with periodic metal colloid arrays. The resulting coupling between gap plasmons and grating‐coupled surface plasmon polaritons enables programmable hybrid modes with tailored ...

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Seagrass monitoring methods: Aligning expert opinion with practice

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems, yet methods to monitor their health lack standardization, which makes data comparison challenging. To identify key approaches and evaluate alignment with expert opinion, we compared the most used health ...

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful
