Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Horizon entropy with loop quantum gravity methods
We show that the spherically symmetric isolated horizon can be described in terms of an SU(2) connection and an su(2)-valued one-form, obeying certain constraints.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Soft Robots Proprioception Through Stretchable Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensors
This study demonstrates the potential of laser‐induced graphene and silicone sensors for soft pneumatic grippers’ proprioception. The sensors are thin, stretchable, mechanically transparent, and easy to integrate. Finite‐element method analysis identifies the finger's neutral bending plane and four sensor positions are tested to validate the ...

The cosmological constant problem and the effective potential of a gravity-coupled scalar
We consider a quantum scalar field in a classical (Euclidean) De Sitter background, whose radius is fixed dynamically by Einstein’s equations. In the case of a free scalar, it has been shown by Becker and Reuter that if one regulates the quantum ...
