Using Private Contracts to Create Adoptions from Foster Care [PDF]

open access: yes
Creating adoptions for children waiting in foster care is a good investment, but the number of adoptions created each year meets only a fraction of the need.

Advanced Manufacturing of Composite‐Based Systems for Energy Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Advanced manufacturing enables the integration of polymers, ceramics, metal oxides, and composites into architected microstructures with tailored transport pathways. By coupling material selection, manufacturing strategy, and structural design, multifunctional energy systems can simultaneously improve electrochemical performance, thermal management ...

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Surrogate‐Optimized Flow‐Guided Miniature Condenser for Rapid Exhaled Glucose Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A surrogate‐optimized miniature condenser guides humid exhaled flow toward cold surfaces to accelerate exhaled breath condensate collection. By improving vapor access within a compact footprint, the design increases sample yield. This enables post‐collection enrichment and rapid colorimetric glucose detection from dilute exhaled biomarkers within a 5 ...

Ligand‐Dependent Locally Excited and Charge‐Transfer Emission in Linear Copper(I) Mesoionic Carbene Luminophores

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Ligand engineering enables precise control of emission in linear Cu(I) complexes by tuning donor–acceptor interactions between electron‐rich amines and π‐accepting mesoionic carbenes. Naphthyl‐substituted carbenes promote locally excited phosphorescence with vibronic structure, whereas electron‐rich amides combined with electron‐poor carbenes favor ...

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
