A probabilistic extension of UML statecharts: specification and verification [PDF]
, 2002 This paper is the extended technical report that corresponds to a published paper [14]. This paper introduces means to specify system randomness within UML statecharts, and to verify probabilistic temporal properties over such enhanced statecharts which ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Heuristically Adaptive Diffusion‐Model Evolutionary Strategy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Building on the mathematical equivalence between diffusion models and evolutionary algorithms, researchers demonstrate unprecedented control over evolutionary optimization through conditional diffusion. By training diffusion models to associate parameters with specific traits, they can guide evolution toward solutions exhibiting desired behaviors ...

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Interfacial Synergy in a Band‐Aligned Low‐Dimensional Heterojunction Toward Broadband Photodetection
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Monolithically integrating sensing and communication, a Ta2NiSe5/Sb2Te3 heterojunction achieves visible‐to‐near‐infrared photovoltaics with high‐speed terahertz photo‐thermoelectric detection at room temperature. By engineering a Type‐II van der Waals heterojunction, we overcome the intrinsic spectral limitations and disparate physical requirements of ...
