Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Advances in Safe, Flexible, and Stretchable Batteries for Wearable Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Unlike previous reviews centered on component‐based deformability, this work highlights safety‐driven design strategies for flexible and stretchable batteries. By integrating material‐level engineering, geometry‐controlled structures, biocompatibility, and self‐protection mechanisms, it establishes a unified framework that connects mechanical ...

Level crossings – legal situation, design conditions, accidents and it’s causes

AUTOBUSY – Technika, Eksploatacja, Systemy Transportowe, 2018
Level crossing is the most dangerous place at which most accidents take place in connection with railway vehicles. While going by train in Poland we pass a level crossing almost every 1.5 km. Many of them do not have any safety devices like light or sound signal or car stops.

Direct Laser Writing of Magnetic Micro Actuators With a Stimulus‐Responsive Compliant Hinge

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a versatile modular design strategy for adaptive 3D microactuators. Using two‐photon‐induced C,H insertion reactions within solid polymer layers, chemically distinct hinge and stimulus responsive materials are patterned in one step. The hinge's properties enable tunable motion, mechanical control, and reconfigurable actuation across

Bound States in the Continuum in Metasurface Absorbers: A Comparison with Metasurfaces

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) offer a powerful mechanism for enhancing light–matter interactions. This work systematically investigates the radiation characteristics of BICs under both transmission and reflection configurations using multipolar analysis.
