Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In MOCVD MoS2 memristors, a current compliance‐regulated Ag filament mechanism is revealed. The filament ruptures spontaneously during volatile switching, while subsequent growth proceeds vertically through the MoS2 layers and then laterally along the van der Waals gaps during nonvolatile switching.

Towards Intelligent Miniature Flying Robots [PDF]
, 2006 This paper presents a practical method for small-scale VTOL3 design. It helps for elements selection and dimensioning. We apply the latter to design a fully autonomous quadrotor with numerous innovations in design methodology, steering and propulsion achieving 100% thrust margin for 30 min autonomy.

A Miniature Water Surface Jumping Robot
IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2017 Many small insects such as water striders can leap from water surface. Inspired by their jumping capability, we present the design of a novel, miniature, water surface jumping robot in this paper. Jumping from water surface is more challenging than jumping from ground due to the liquid water surface.
