Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

Greedy-like algorithms in Kleene algebra [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper provides an algebraic background for the formal derivation of greedy-like algorithms. Such derivations have previously been done in various frameworks including relation algebra.

Physics‐Aware Machine‐Learning‐Driven Inverse Design of Broadband Ultra‐Open Acoustic Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A physics‐aware machine‐learning framework enables inverse design of ultra‐open acoustic silencers by decoupling spectral and radial design spaces. The approach rapidly identifies broadband, compact, and highly ventilated architectures, while revealing hidden linear design rules that link geometry, impedance matching, and acoustic performance.

Greedy randomized dispatching heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness penalties [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we present greedy randomized dispatching heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. The several heuristic versions differ, on the one hand, on the strategies

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

A Bioinspired, Multimodal Soft Tactile Skin with Task‐Adaptive Perception for Intelligent Robotic Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Perception in robotic manipulation improves through the cooperative and complementary operation of biologically inspired multimodal tactile sensors. Receptor‐specific contribution analysis identifies which sensing modalities are required for specific tactile tasks.

Image segmentation based on semi-greedy region merging

open access: yes, 2012
Region merging algorithms are known to be fast when the merge criteria are relatively loose but very slow when extended schemes are applied. However, since region merging is greedy and looks only at local information, it is susceptible to suboptimal ...

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Monolayer MoS2 With Ultrahigh Piezoelectricity: From ALD Dose Control to Device Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that controlling precursor dosages in atomic layer deposition (ALD) serves to regulate ultrathin oxide quality, which in turn determines sulfurization behavior and MoS2 monolayer continuity. The resulting continuous, low‐defect monolayers enable improved piezoelectric performance and support a flexible slippage sensor, linking ...
