Gravitational wavefunctions in JT supergravity
We determine explicit expressions for the continuous two-sided gravitational wavefunctions in supersymmetric versions of JT gravity, focusing mainly on N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 JT supergravity.

Phenomenology of low quantum gravity scale models [PDF]
We study some phenomenological implications of models where the scale of quantum gravity effects lies much below the four-dimensional Planck scale. These models arise from M-theory vacua where either the internal space volume is large or the string coupling is very small.

A quadrupedal integrated leg‐arm robot with an underactuated reconfigurable body is developed. By using a Sarrus mechanism as the body, the robot enables reconfiguration through its supporting limbs, achieving mode switching without additional actuators.

In search of lost spacetime: philosophical issues arising in quantum gravity [PDF]
This paper issues a call to arms and seeks to entice the reader with some of the most captivating philosophical puzzles arising in quantum gravity. The analysis will be prefaced, in Section 1, by general considerations concerning the need for finding a ...

A hybrid mobile robot with a modular Variable‐Stiffness Bridge transitions between a rigid locomotion platform and a flexible, shape‐conforming body. By enclosing objects within its deformable structure rather than relying on dedicated end effectors, the robot achieves orientation‐regulated planar transport, with conformal contact quality shown to ...

Wormholes, branes and finite matrices in sine dilaton gravity
We compute the double trumpet in sine dilaton gravity via WdW quantization. The wormhole size is discretized. The wormhole amplitude matches the spectral correlation of a finite-cut matrix integral, where matrices have large but finite dimensions.

Non-perturbative 3d Lorentzian quantum gravity [PDF]
We have recently introduced a discrete model of Lorentzian quantum gravity, given as a regularized non-perturbative state sum over simplicial Lorentzian spacetimes, each possessing a uniqueWick rotation to Euclidean signature.

The method presented in this paper provides a practical sensorless solution for estimating both contact force and contact location using only standard joint encoders and an available robot dynamic model. By reformulating the contact estimation problem using a single scalar equivalent contact parameter, the approach enables fast and robust computation ...

Light‐Driven Out‐of‐Equilibrium Helicity Control in a Diarylethene–Helicene Photosystem
Distinct energy landscapes of different helicities in the open and closed states of a diarylethene–helicene photoswitch enable a light‐driven energy ratchet. Helix inversion occurs selectively in the closed form, and the resulting helicity is transferred and kinetically trapped upon ring opening, generating a persistent out‐of‐equilibrium chiral state ...

Quantum Gravity with the Standard Model
A unified theory of four-dimensional gravity together with the standard model is presented, with supersymmetry breaking of M-theory at a TeV. Masses of the the known particles are derived. The cosmological constant is quantum generated to the observed value. Quantum corrections to the classical compactification are analyzed, and the scenario is stable.
