Wilson loops in nonperturbative quantum gravity [PDF]
By explicit construction, we show that one can in a simple way introduce and measure gravitational holonomies and Wilson loops in lattice formulations of nonperturbative quantum gravity based on (causal) dynamical triangulations. We use this setup to investigate a class of Wilson line observables associated with the world line of a point particle ...

In this research, a paradigm of parameter estimation method for pneumatic soft hand control is proposed. The method includes the following: 1) sampling harmonic damping waves, 2) applying pseudo‐rigid body modeling and the logarithmic decrement method, and 3) deriving position and force control.

Robotic Environmental Monitoring Using Gelatin Hydrogels as a Biodegradable Adhesive
Gelatin‐based hydrogels are presented as a robust, biodegradable, and water‐soluble method of adhesion for robotic environmental monitoring. Factors affecting the adhesion strength are characterized, and the hydrogel is tested on different materials with varying surface roughness.

Horizon entropy with loop quantum gravity methods
We show that the spherically symmetric isolated horizon can be described in terms of an SU(2) connection and an su(2)-valued one-form, obeying certain constraints.

Quantization of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m Black Holes and Their Non-Singular Quantum Behavior
Quantization of different regions of the Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m space time (charged black hole) is done in the framework of loop quantum gravity. The geometry of Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m space-time is expressed in terms of Ashtekar variables which form the

Free vacuum for loop quantum gravity [PDF]
We linearize extended ADM-gravity around the flat torus, and use the associated Fock vacuum to construct a state that could play the role of a free vacuum in loop quantum gravity. The state we obtain is an element of the gauge-invariant kinematic Hilbert space and restricted to a cutoff graph, as a natural consequence of the momentum cutoff of the ...

Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Quantum gravity is expected to be necessary in order to understand situations where classical general relativity breaks down. In particular in cosmology one has to deal with initial singularities, i.e., the fact that the backward evolution of a classical

Rainbow-Like Black-Hole Metric from Loop Quantum Gravity
Hypersurface deformation algebra consists of a fruitful approach to derive deformed solutions of general relativity based on symmetry considerations with quantum-gravity effects, of which the linearization has been recently demonstrated to be connected ...

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.
