Color Center Formation in Silicon‐On‐Insulator for On‐Chip Photonic Integration
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Color centers in silicon have great potential as single photon sources for quantum technologies. Some of them – like the T center – also possess optically‐active spins that enable spin‐photon interfaces for generating entangled photons and multi‐spin registers. This paper explores the generation of several types of color centers in silicon for

When Cubic is Not Isotropic: Phonon–Exciton Decoupling in CuInSnS4 Single Crystals
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.A cubic CuInSnS4 crystal does not fully play by cubic rules. While phonons follow the average iso‐tropic lattice symmetry, the disorder‐localized excitons break away, showing strong, and reproduci‐ble polarization‐dependent emission. This work shows how intrinsic cation disorder can turn a mac‐roscopically cubic material into a source of hidden ...

Self‐Powered Visible‐Blind Graphene/NiO/ZnO UV‐C Photodiodes
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.“A scalable architecture for self‐powered UV‐C photodiodes integrates defect‐engineered p‐NiO/n‐ZnO heterojunctions with highly UV‐C transparent graphene anodes. The type‐II band alignment combined with the built‐in electrical field enables robust zero‐bias charge separation.

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

The Role of Bacterial Filamentation in Response to the Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in humans. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) are the primary cause of UTIs. During a UTI, UPEC invades bladder epithelial cells forming intracellular biofilm-like structures with ...
