Of bubbles and foams: Umwelt counterpoints in symbiosis

open access: yesSign Systems Studies
In recent years, our aim has been to expand the concept of ‘umwelt’ towards its evolutionary aspects. In this contribution, we argue that since the different lineages of life share their origins, they also share, at least to some extent, the ...

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

A Review on Sensor Technologies, Control Approaches, and Emerging Challenges in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review provides an introspective of sensors and controllers in soft robotics. Initially describing the current sensing methods, then moving on to the control methods utilized, and finally ending with challenges and future directions in soft robotics focusing on the material innovations, sensor fusion, and embedded intelligence for sensors and ...

A General Susceptibility‐Based Approach for Uniform Metasurface Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
This work presents a general approach to characterize uniform metasurfaces in terms of susceptibilities. With this model, it is possible to obtain analytical expressions and numerical values for the specular scattering for arbitrary angle of incidence and polarization.

A Perspective on Interactive Theorem Provers in Physics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Into an interactive theorem provers (ITPs), one can write mathematical definitions, theorems and proofs, and the correctness of those results is automatically checked. This perspective goes over the best usage of ITPs within physics and motivates the open‐source community run project PhysLean, the aim of which is to be a library for digitalized physics

Process Parameter Specification and Control in Solution Processing of Hybrid Perovskite Photovoltaics: From Domain‐Specific Jargon to Evidence‐Based, Unambiguous Description of Experimental Workflows

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Hybrid perovskite solar cells are nearing commercial mass production. Therefore, academic research must tackle the remaining barriers for their large‐scale rollout. One of these is consistent manufacturing yield. Here, evidence is reviewed for the impact of process paramters on perovskite solution processes, finding a great potential for better ...

Strategic Advocacy for Higher Education Research: Insights From US Agricultural Experiment Station Funding

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst dwindling state funding and the legislative withdrawal from public university research support, a heightened political process shapes the allocation of scarce tax dollars. This article explores how advocacy within the political process influences funding support for higher education from state legislatures.
