Shapeshifting Liquid Metal Droplets for Soft Fluidic Machines
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study presented a liquid metal shape shifting strategy which harnesses Lorentz force, surface tension and fluid instabilities to achieve autonomous fluidic power. By using a liquid metal droplet as a mobile current carrier, this strategy enables the development of low‐voltage, self‐oscillating pumps that outperform existing soft pumps.

On a property of Lorenz curves with monotone elasticity and its application to the study of inequality by using tax data [PDF]
, 2017 The Lorenz curve is the most widely used graphical tool for describing and comparing inequality of income distributions. In this paper, we show that the elasticity of this curve is an indicator of the effect, in terms of inequality, of a truncation of ...

Atomistic Mechanisms Triggered by Joule Heating Effects in Metallic Cu‐Bi Nanowires for Spintronics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bi doped metallic Cu nanowires are promising for spintronics thanks to the stabilization of a giant spin Hall effect. However, heat resulting from current injection forces Bi to leave solution, forcing segregation into monoatomic decorations which evolve into coherent crystalline aggregates.

Active Learning‐Guided Accelerated Discovery of Ultra‐Efficient High‐Entropy Thermoelectrics
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.An active learning framework is introduced for the accelerated discovery of high‐entropy chalcogenides with superior thermoelectric performance. Only 80 targeted syntheses, selected from 16206 possible combinations, led to three high‐performance compositions, demonstrating the remarkable efficiency of data‐driven guidance in experimental materials ...

Estimating Lorenz Curves Using a Dirichlet Distribution [PDF]
The Lorenz curve relates the cumulative proportion of income to the cumulative proportion of population. When a particular functional form of the Lorenz curve is specified it is typically estimated by linear or nonlinear least squares assuming that the ...

Mucosa‐Interfacing Capsule for In Situ Sensing the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.A fundamental mechanism of palpating soft materials is reported to sense deep tissue elasticity in situ with minimal invasion using the interaction between the robot palpation unit and soft tissues. Both the robot locomotion and elasticity sensing functions are remotely controlled by external magnetic fields, while the sensing data are wirelessly ...

From Inequality to Extremes and Back: A Lorenz Representation of the Pickands Dependence Function
MathematicsWe establish a correspondence between Lorenz curves and Pickands dependence functions, thereby reframing the construction of any bivariate extreme-value copula as an inequality problem.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Roll‐to‐roll direct‐current sputtering enables room‐temperature manufacture of flexible bismuth telluride thermoelectric films. By identifying a low‐power deposition window that suppresses charge‐induced arcing, this work links sputtering conditions to film structure, charge transport, and thermoelectric performance, achieving a room‐temperature figure

Optimization of Gini Coefficient Affected by Imperfect Input Data
European Journal of Business Science and Technology, 2019 Most indicators used for determining the distributional effects of taxes as well as the inequality in the income distribution are based on the Gini coefficient and the Lorenz curve to a substantial extent, although the potential application of the Gini ...
