Structure Formation in Butterfly Scales: Interplay of Genetic Control, Mechanical Instabilities, and Dynamic Material Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Temperature‐Robust Interphase Enables Carboxylate‐Ester Electrolyte for Stabilizing High‐Voltage Sodium Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A synergistic electrolyte engineering strategy of employing ethyl acetate (EA) with vinylene carbonate (VC) as multifunctional additives is initially pioneered, making various as‐prepared high‐voltage wide‐temperature sodium batteries work well via the formation of a gradient and temperature‐robust interphase.

VTOL Flight simulator

open access: yesThe Japanese journal of ergonomics, 1967
Details of design and construction of a VTOL flight simulator, completed in March 1966, are given this report. The one-man cab has conventional seating, controls and instrumentation in which CRT and TV type displays are involed. A television camera with 6 degrees-of-freedom is used to acquire a visual scene of landing-approach below a 120m ceiling. The

Flight simulators for under $100000

open access: yesIEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 1988
To demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of designing and building low-cost flight simulators, a prototype system was developed to model the performance of a new US Army remotely piloted missile system. The flight simulator displays a dynamic, three-dimensional, out-the-window view of the terrain in real time while responding to operator input
