Shape‐Changing Multiphase Microparticles from Complex Liquid Crystal Emulsions

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline network (LCN) microparticles are prepared from single, double (Janus), and triple emulsions through a simple and scalable bulk‐emulsification strategy. Under heating, the particles exhibit robust, reversible, large‐amplitude deformations that depend both on the morphology and the liquid crystals director field configuration.

Gravitational Lensing Effects from Models of Loop Quantum Gravity with Rigorous Quantum Parameters

Universe
Many previous works have studied gravitational lensing effects from Loop Quantum Gravity. So far, gravitational lensing effects from Loop Quantum Gravity have only been studied by choosing large quantum parameters much larger than the Planck scale ...

Weak lensing, dark matter and dark energy

, 2010
Weak gravitational lensing is rapidly becoming one of the principal probes of dark matter and dark energy in the universe. In this brief review we outline how weak lensing helps determine the structure of dark matter halos, measure the expansion rate of ...

In Vivo Skin 3‐D Surface Reconstruction and Wrinkle Depth Estimation Using Handheld High Resolution Tactile Sensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A compact handheld GelSight probe reconstructs in vivo 3‐D skin topography with micron‐level precision using a custom elastic gel and a learning‐based surface normal to height map pipeline. The device quantifies wrinkle depth across various body locations and detects changes in wrinkle depth following moisturizer application.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ГРАВИТАЦИОННОГО ЛИНЗИРОВАНИЯ НА ФУНКЦИЮ СВЕТИМОСТИ КВАЗАРОВ

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2011
The function of quasar distribution on apparent brightness is discussed. This function is found on base of suggestion that quasars, at least partly, are strong gravitational lensing images of the active nuclei of distant galaxies.

Numerical wave optics and the lensing of gravitational waves by globular clusters

, 2007
We consider the possible effects of gravitational lensing by globular clusters on gravitational waves from asymmetric neutron stars in our galaxy. In the lensing of gravitational waves, the long wavelength, compared with the usual case of optical lensing,

A Lensing Reconstruction of Primordial Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization [PDF]

, 2002
We discuss a possibility to directly reconstruct the CMB polarization field at the last scattering surface by accounting for modifications imposed by the gravitational lensing effect.

In Situ Characterisation of Hydrogels via Dynamic Interface Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels have become pivotal materials for tissue engineering, robotics, biomedical devices, and sensing applications due to their diverse material compositions and tunable mechanical properties. While significant effort has focused on developing novel manufacturing approaches such as extrusion bioprinting and light‐based fabrication methods,

Time delay of light in the gravitational lensing of supermassive black holes in dark matter halos

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The dark matter halo has non-negligible effects on the gravitational lensing of supermassive black hole in the galaxy center. Our work presents a study on the time-delay of light in gravitational lensing of black holes enclosed by dark matter halos.

Gravitational Lensing [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background by largeâ€scale structure in the late universe is both a source of cosmological information and a potential contaminant of primordial gravity waves. Because lensing imprints growth of structure in the late universe on the CMB, measurements of CMB lensing will constrain parameters to which the CMB
