Coaxial Melt Electrowriting

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Coaxial melt electrowriting is established to produce dual‐property microfibers with diameters spanning 1.6–29.2 µm. Stable coaxial laminar flow is preserved under electrohydrodynamic thinning, enabling controlled binary and gradient material switching within individual continuous fibers.

Omnidirectional Ultra‐Broadband Cu/TiO2 Metasurface Absorbers for High‐Efficiency Solar Thermal Conversion and Photothermal Plasmon‐Driven Catalysis

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metasurface shows selective solar–thermal energy conversion with high‐activity solar/laser‐driven chemistry. The breakthrough is co‐designing broadband FP‐cavity + plasmonic LSPR/SLR resonances in an ultra‐thin metamaterial so that it not only harvests the most efficient proportion of solar radiation but also suppresses mid and IR emissivity. Moreover,

Deterministic Integration of Quantum Emitters and Optical Cavities in a Van Der Waals Crystal

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The work demonstrates fabrication of Circular Bragg Grating (CBG) cavities with embedded emitters in hBN. The cavities are fabricated around a pre‐characterised quantum emitter. The integrated platform enables light matter interaction and access to brighter emitters and spins in hBN.

Techniques for handling nonsymmetric cones in interior point algorithms

, 2022
Conic programs that seek to minimize a linear function over an intersection of symmetric (self-dual and homogeneous) cones are amenable to highly efficient primal-dual interior point methods, which are implemented by many popular off-the-shelf conic solvers.

Interior point methods for solving cone-constrained eigenvalue problems

, 2021
In this paper, we propose to solve cone-constrained eigenvalue problems by using interiorpoint methods. Precisely, we focus the study on an adaptation of the Mehrotra Predictor Corrector Method (MPCM) and a Non-Parametric Interior Point Method (NPIPM).

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

A Pollen‐Enhanced Bionic Mechanoreceptor Induced by Asymmetric Ionic Convection in Hydrogel for Sensory‐Augmented Prostheses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work proposed a pollen‐enhanced bionic mechanoreceptor based on ionic convection. Leveraging the ion anchoring effect of the pollen particle, the output performance could be ∼12 times higher than the original state. By employing deep learning models as AI brains, the feasibility of a sensory‐augmented prosthesis consisting of a pollen‐enhanced ...
