The Digital and the Real Universe Foundations of Natural Philosophy and Computational Physics

Philosophies, 2019
In the age of digitization, the world seems to be reducible to a digital computer. However, mathematically, modern quantum field theories do not only depend on discrete, but also continuous concepts.

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...
