Seven‐Fold Compression of Mid‐Infrared Pulses Using a Series of Titanium Dioxide Plates
Here, a sequence of three titanium dioxide plates is used to compress a mid‐infrared pulse from 103.9 femtoseconds to 14.1 femtoseconds (about two optical cycles) without the use of external dispersion compensation. The approach maintains high efficiency and produces pulses with a stable carrier‐envelope phase, providing a compact platform for ...

Low‐index and low‐loss vdW muscovite represents an emerging robust dielectric platform for the creation of next‐generation all‐vdW nanophotonic architectures. Its utilization as a low‐index building‐block in all‐vdW multilayers enables extreme optical contrast when paired with MoS2, paving the way to the realization of few‐layer ultrathin DBS ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.
