Single‐Photon Emitters in Thickness‐Controlled hBN Directly Grown on Silicon Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Direct, catalyst‐free CVD growth produces thickness‐controlled hBN films on SiO2/Si without transfer. Growth temperature, film thickness, and carbon incorporation tune the density and single‐photon fraction of defect emitters while preserving the hBN lattice structure.

Strong Enhancement of Er3+ Emission at Room Temperature in Si3N4 Metasurfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Erbium‐doped SiN metasurfaces are engineered to support Mie resonances at 1.55μm$1.55\text{}\mathrm{\mu}\mathrm{m}$, enhancing the local density of optical states and accelerating spontaneous emission. By optimizing nanocylinder radius and implantation depth, room‐temperature PL is increased about 18‐fold, while lifetime shortens by nearly an order of ...

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,
