Kinematics Measurement and Power Requirements of Fruitflies at Various Flight Speeds
Energies, 2020 Energy expenditure is a critical characteristic in evaluating the flight performance of flying insects. To investigate how the energy cost of small-sized insects varies with flight speed, we measured the detailed wing and body kinematics in the full ...

Textile Encoding Inspired by Langer Lines via Elastically Graded Embroidered Tessellations
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A standard embroidery machine can encode skin‐like directional mechanics into stretchable fabrics that, when worn, augment the wearer's skin. Zigzag stitch patterns, inspired by skin collagen structure, pack extra slack in threads that, when tessellated, mimic Langer lines.

On Three-Algebra and Bi-Fundamental Matter Amplitudes and Integrability of Supergravity [PDF]
, 2013 We explore tree-level amplitude relations for SU(N)xSU(M) bi-fundamental matter theories. Embedding the group-theory structure in a Lie three-algebra, we derive Kleiss-Kuijf-like relations for bi-fundamental matter theories in general dimension.

Kinematics of the South Atlantic rift [PDF]
, 2013 . The South Atlantic rift basin evolved as a branch of a large Jurassic–Cretaceous intraplate rift zone between the African and South American plates during the final break-up of western Gondwana.

Architected Soft Actuators for Artificial Musculoskeletal Systems
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An architected soft actuator uses a servo motor and a combination of 3D printed architected elastomers to extend and contract. The actuator exhibits high actuation stroke, force output, and power density for constructing bioinspired artificial musculoskeletal systems.

The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Unveiling the nature of kinematically offset active galactic nuclei
, 2015 We have observed two kinematically offset active galactic nuclei (AGN), whose ionised gas is at a different line-of-sight velocity to their host galaxies, with the SAMI integral field spectrograph (IFS).

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The Muscle–tendon complex (MTC)‐inspired Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) artificial muscle integrates actuation (efferent) and proprioceptive sensing (afferent) by combining contractile nematic and elastic isotropic LCEs within a single soft structure. Embedded liquid metal channels enable simultaneous Joule heating and real‐time sensing of length and ...
