Moving picture puzzles: training urban perception in the Weimar 'rebus films' [PDF]
Screen, 2010 This essay examines the largely forgotten phenomenon of the ‘rebus film’ - a series of eight interactive filmed crossword puzzles that were shown in Germany from 1925 to 1927, in which spectators filled out puzzle cards based on clues shown on the screen - as a mode of virtual training for life in the ‘Americanist’ culture of the Weimar Republic ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Widespread museum digitization initiatives have made the world's herbaria more accessible than ever, launching a renaissance of specimen use. We highlight the value of digitization to bolster both scientific and historical research using the specimens from the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition (1881–1884) to the Canadian arctic, remembered for its tragedy ...

Digital Gaming and Tolkien, 1976-2015 [PDF]
, 2016 ‘Tolkien’ the cultural phenomenon is far bigger than J. R. R. Tolkien the author, or even J. R. R. Tolkien the author-and-oeuvre. When Christopher Tolkien asserted in 2012 that his father’s legacy has been rendered monstrous he blamed its fate on the ...

Thin Fluoride Insulators for Improved 2D Transistors: From Deposition Methods to Recent Applications
physica status solidi (RRL) – Rapid Research Letters, EarlyView.2D materials hold significant promise for next‐generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, but suitable gate dielectrics are still a challenge. Fluoride insulators, offering inert, dangling‐bond‐free surfaces, have recently emerged as strong candidates. This review covers recent publications on high‐quality fluoride thin‐film deposition and their

Actuation Strategies for Underwater Jet‐Propelled Soft Robots
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review article examines jet‐propulsion mechanisms in underwater soft robotic systems, focusing exclusively on physically fabricated and experimentally validated robots. Covering research published from 2013 to 2025, this study classifies and evaluates jet‐propulsion robots based on their actuation mechanisms.

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.We systematically summarize how each scale dictates fundamental choices in design feature, manufacturing technology, driving mechanism, and control strategy, which are inherently governed by scale‐dominated physical principles. Furthermore, the application of scale‐determined operation modes of microrobots across different stages of medical ...

, 1998 Using a Green's function approach, we investigate band structure effects in the BEEM current distribution in reciprocal space. In the elastic limit, this formalism provides a 'parameter free' solution to the BEEM problem.

Learning to Love the Movies: Puzzles, Participation, and Cinephilia in Interwar European Film Magazines [PDF]
Film History, 2015 Most scholars would agree that cinephilia results not simply from a spontaneous love of movies but historically has also been inseparable from processes of legitimization, audience training, and formations of taste. Yet we still know little about the deeper history of cinephilia’s emergence: how audiences learned to love the movies and why.
