Renormalization group flow of f(R)-gravity [PDF]
We use the functional renormalization group equation for quantum gravity to construct a non-perturbative flow equation for modified gravity theories of the form $S = \int d^dx \sqrt{g} f(R)$.

Fatigue‐Driven Adaptive Assistance for a Semi‐Active Upper‐Limb Occupational Exoskeleton
Physical fatigue during a physical activity is estimated in real time to enable adaptive exoskeleton assistance. By continuously adjusting the level of support according to the user’s fatigue, this approach reduces physical demand and provides a pathway toward personalized exoskeleton assistance.

Phases of tree-decorated Dynamical Triangulations in 3D
This work revisits the Euclidean Dynamical Triangulation (DT) approach to non-perturbative quantum gravity in three dimensions. Inspired by a recent combinatorial study [1] of a subclass of 3-sphere triangulations constructed from trees, called the ...

This study presents an integrated proof‐of‐concept robotic platform for targeted delivery applications. A hybrid magnetic actuation system achieves single‐input (z) multistate stabilization (x, y, ϕ, and θ) for precise capsule transport with submillimeter positioning accuracy.

Branes in JT (super)gravity from group theory
In this work, we revisit the end-of-the-world (EOW) brane amplitudes in JT gravity from a BF gauge theoretic perspective. Observing and identifying the correct group theoretic ingredient for a closed EOW brane as a discrete series character, we use the ...

Recent Conceptual Consequences of Loop Quantum Gravity. Part I: Foundational Aspects. [PDF]
Conceptual consequences of recent results in loop quantum gravity are collected and discussed here in view of their implications for a modern philosophy of science which is mainly understood as one that totalizes scientific insight so as to eventually ...

Continuous and Large‐Scale: ELEANOR, the Soft Architected Arm Inspired by the Elephant Trunk
A large‐scale, architected continuum robot inspired by the macroscopic properties of the African elephant trunk achieves adaptive elephant‐like movements and whole‐body grasping. The results demonstrate that designing from the natural system’s macroscopic properties, rather than prescribing behaviors, provides a powerful strategy for developing ...

According to the GEVAG (Generalized Entropy Varying-G) framework, any modification to the Bekenstein-Hawking area law would also lead to a varying-G gravity theory in which the effective gravitational constant G eff becomes area-dependent. Among a myriad

Hardware‐learning co‐design combines volar‐plate‐inspired passive‐joint constraints with mechanism‐aware reinforcement learning for a low‐cost parallel‐linkage gripper. The resulting system performs quasi‐static object adjustment and dynamic pinch grasping, demonstrating reliable planar in‐hand manipulation and successful sim‐to‐real transfer. Parallel
