Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Chromosome-level genomes of two Bracteacoccaceae highlight adaptations to biocrusts

open access: yesNature Communications
Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) cover the majority of the world’s dryland ground and are a significant component of the vegetation-free surface of the planet.

Snap and Jump: How Elastic Shells Pop Out

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Indent an elastomeric shell and let it go. The spherical shells can store and release the elastic energy. Desktop‐scale experiments, material point method simulation, and analytical theory uncover the fundamental mechanism of soft jumping robots.

Dynamical rearrangement of super-Earths during disk dispersal I. Outline of the magnetospheric rebound model

open access: yes, 2017
The Kepler mission has discovered that multiple close-in super-Earth planets are common around solar-type stars, but their period ratios do not show strong pile-ups near mean motion resonances (MMRs).

An Automated Occultation Network for Gravitational Mapping of the Trans-Neptunian Solar System

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We explore the potential of an array of ${ \mathcal O }(100)$ small fixed telescopes, aligned along a meridian and automated to measure millions of occultations of Gaia stars by minor planets, to constrain gravitational signatures from a “Planet X” mass ...

p‐Cu(OH)2/n‐SrTiO3 Heterojunction for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Improving the efficiency of photocatalysts in the hydrogen evolution reaction relies on developing cost‐effective co‐catalysts. This study focuses on p‐Cu(OH)2/n‐SrTiO3 heterojunctions for efficient hydrogen production. 1 wt.% Cu‐based co‐catalyst significantly enhances performance, achieving ≈3.5 times higher hydrogen production compared to pristine ...

A Jovian-mass Planet in Microlensing Event OGLE-2005-BLG-071

open access: yes, 2005
We report the discovery of a several-Jupiter mass planetary companion to the primary lens star in microlensing event OGLE-2005-BLG-071. Precise (
