High‐Throughput Screening of REBCO Superconducting Thin Films Fabricated Via Combinatorial Inkjet Printing and TLAG Process

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A methodological framework is presented for combinatorial REBCO thin films fabricated by drop‐on‐demand inkjet printing with controlled Rare Earth composition gradients. Automated, synchrotron‐based, and local characterization techniques produce comprehensive property maps that correlate composition and TLAG process parameters with superconducting ...

Design and Modeling of a High‐Displacement, Skin‐Integrated Flexible Electromagnetic Actuator for Haptic Interfaces in Virtual Reality

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A flexible, skin‐integrated electromagnetic actuator is developed for wearable virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) haptic systems. A tunable design model enables control over displacement and resonance frequency. The system is validated through a custom VR application with a 6 × 4 actuator array, demonstrating real‐time, spatially targeted tactile ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.
