Thermal Control of Concentric Topographies Patterned by Dynamic Electro‐Templated Generated Chiral Solitonic Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An electro‐templating strategy directs the relaxation of cholesteric finger loops into discrete concentric rings whose geometry is electrically programmed. The photopolymerized structures retain the topological defect pattern and, upon heating, show reversible, castle‐like surface modulation.

Control of multistability in hidden attractors

open access: yes, 2015
Hidden attractors have a basin of attraction which is not connected with unstable equilibrium. Certain systems with hidden attractor show multistability for a range of parameter.

Multistability phenomenon in signal processing, energy harvesting, composite structures, and metamaterials: A review

open access: yes, 2021
Multistability is the phenomenon of multiple coexistent stable states, which are highly sensitive to perturbations, initial conditions, system parameters, etc.

Farmers' land‐use decision‐making: A dynamical modelling approach that integrates qualitative knowledge about social norms into a quantitative model

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2023
The concept of the homo oeconomicus is often used to model human behaviour in economic contexts. However, other factors like tradition or the preference to comply with social norms can play a role in decision‐making processes.

Geometry‐Encoded Actuation as a Structural Interaction Layer in Origami Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present geometry‐encoded actuation (GEA), a design framework that integrates multistable origami with liquid crystal elastomer actuators to encode environmental interactions into autonomous structural responses. GEA enables programmable shape transformation without continuous sensing or complex control, achieving robust adaptive manipulation and ...

3D Printed Meter‐Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load‐Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.

Multistability of genetic regulatory networks

open access: yes, 2010
peer reviewedMultistability is found to be an important recurring theme in synthesis biology. In this article, the multistability analysis problem is investigated by applying control theory and mathematical tools.

Nonlinear Dynamics and Invariants of Motion in ReRAM Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
A second‐order cell, hosting one capacitor and two back‐to‐back ReRAMs, admits Invariants of Motion: its states lie on one‐dimensional manifolds at all times. The cell shows quiescent monostability or bistability, depending on the manifold index. At equilibrium, the capacitor voltage vanishes.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.
