Robust Smart Superhydrophobic Cilia

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To date, ciliated surfaces cannot withstand mechanical damage because cilia/wires are inherently fragile. By aligning magneto‐responsive, flexible, superhydrophobic microwires on the sidewall of vertical frames, the frames act as armors to protect microwires from mechanical damage; when needed, the microwires re‐align uprightly under a magnet field to ...

Entropy of gravitationally collapsing matter in FRW universe models

open access: yes, 2005
We look at a gas of dust and investigate how its entropy evolves with time under a spherically symmetric gravitational collapse. We treat the problem perturbatively and find that the classical thermodynamic entropy does actually increase to first order ...

Liquid Metals in Radio Frequency Applications: A Review of Physics, Manufacturing, and Emerging Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This paper reviews the physics of liquid metals in RF devices, including the influence of mechanical strain on resonance as well as fabrication methods and strategies for designing tunable and strain‐tolerant inductors, capacitors, and antennas.

The Schrödinger–Newton equation and its foundations

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
The necessity of quantising the gravitational field is still subject to an open debate. In this paper we compare the approach of quantum gravity, with that of a fundamentally semi-classical theory of gravity, in the weak-field non-relativistic limit.

Star Formation in Isolated Disk Galaxies. I. Models and Characteristics of Nonlinear Gravitational Collapse

open access: yes, 2005
We model gravitational collapse leading to star formation in a wide range of isolated disk galaxies using a three-dimensional, smoothed particle hydrodynamics code.

Observing Gravitational Waves from Core-Collapse Supernovae in the Advanced Detector Era [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The next galactic core-collapse supernova (CCSN) has already exploded, and its electromagnetic (EM) waves, neutrinos, and gravitational waves (GWs) may arrive at any moment.

Entanglement entropy production in gravitational collapse: covariant regularization and solvable models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A bstractWe study the dynamics of vacuum entanglement in the process of gravitational collapse and subsequent black hole evaporation. In the first part of the paper, we introduce a covariant regularization of entanglement entropy tailored to curved ...

BeeRootBot: A Bioinspired Robotic Probe Exhibiting Apical Growth through In Situ Soil Binding

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel method for consolidating subterranean exploration pathways in plant‐inspired robots by binding in‐situ soil with beeswax, a biobased material. This simultaneous advancement and wall‐lining process reduces penetration resistance, enhances exploration efficiency, enables communication and resource sharing, and promotes ...

The river model of gravitational collapse

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
We show that the transformation of a time-evolving spherically symmetric metric tensor into a Painlevé–Gullstrand–Lemaître form brings forth a few curious consequences.
