Fiber‐Format Flexible Linear Electrostatic Motors

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A flexible coaxial fibre‐format electrostatic motor enables backdrivable and reversible linear actuation with high force density and functionality under bending, offering a scalable actuation platform for soft and wearable robotics. ABSTRACT Linear motion is fundamental to robotics, yet existing solutions are either rigid electromagnetic motors or ...

Hunting for gravity waves in non-orographic winter storms using 3+ years of regional surface air pressure network and radar observations [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Atmospheric gravity waves (i.e., buoyancy waves) can occur within stable layers when vertical oscillations are triggered by localized heating, flow over terrain, or imbalances in upper-level flow.

Nonplanar Bouligand Architectures for Enhanced Mechanical Performance in Cementitious Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the impact region of the Mantis shrimp dactyl club, nonplanar additive manufacturing translates sinusoidal Bouligand architectures into cementitious composites. Printing‐induced anisotropy and architected interfaces promote distributed damage and arrest crack propagation, enhancing strength and energy absorption.

Plasmon‐Enhanced Second‐Harmonic Generation in Atomically Thin Crystalline Silver Nanostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Atomically thin crystalline silver films combine vertical quantum confinement with lateral plasmonic field enhancement to boost second‐harmonic generation. Nanoribbon and nanotriangle arrays enable geometry‐tunable infrared plasmon resonances, producing strong SHG from deeply subwavelength metallic volumes compatible with silicon‐based nanophotonics ...

Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Fundamental Gravity and Gravitational Waves [PDF]

Symmetry, 2021
While being as old as general relativity itself, the gravitational two-body problem has never been under so intense investigation as it is today, spurred by both phenomenological and theoretical motivations. The observations of gravitational waves emitted by compact binary coalescences bear the imprint of the source dynamics, and as the sensitivity of ...

Variability of local gravity wave spectra from data of a high-resolution icosahedral-grid global model [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Atmospheric gravity waves influence the general circulation through transport of energy and momentum. Even with increasing computing capacities, parametrisation of their effects is still needed.

Observations of in-situ generated gravity waves during a stratospheric temperature enhancement (STE) event [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
Evidence for in situ generated atmospheric gravity waves associated with a stratospheric temperature enhancement (STE) are presented. The signatures of two sets of gravity waves are observed by molecular-aerosol lidar in conjunction with the early ...

Life‐Like Ferrous Oxide Microspheres from Kombucha

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Kombucha bacterial cellulose, sodium alginate, and ferrous nitrate self‐assemble into membrane‐enclosed iron oxide microspheres. These microspheres bud daughter vesicles, sustain 24‐h electrochemical oscillations, and filter theta‐band signals.

Millifluidic Synthesis of Core–Shell Resonators For Tunable Sonic BandGaps in Acoustic Metamaterials

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Millimeter‐scale core–shell acoustic resonators are fabricated by a gravity‐assisted dripping approach and incorporated into epoxy composites at controlled volume fractions. The resulting alumina–core resonator composites show tunable low‐frequency acoustic attenuation, demonstrating a scalable route for integrating locally resonant metamaterial units ...
