Reconfigurable microfluidics [PDF]
Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2021 Lab-on-a-chip devices leverage microfluidic technologies to enable chemical and biological processes at small scales. However, existing microfluidic channel networks are typically designed for the implementation of a single function or a well-defined protocol and do not allow the flexibility and real-time experimental decision-making essential to many ...

Thermally reconfigurable metalens
Nanophotonics, 2022 Abstract Reconfigurable metalenses are compact optical components composed by arrays of meta-atoms that offer unique opportunities for advanced optical systems, from microscopy to augmented reality platforms. Although poorly explored in the context of reconfigurable metalenses, thermo-optical effects in resonant silicon nanoresonators ...

QHAR: Q-Holonic-Based ARchitecture for Self-Configuration of Cyber–Physical Production Systems
Applied Sciences, 2021 Production systems must be able to adapt to increasingly frequent internal and external changes. Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS), thanks to their potential capacity for self-reconfiguration, can cope with this need for adaptation.

Conflictul transnistrean în contextul reconfigurării ordinii mondiale / The Transnistrian conflict in the context of reconfiguring the world order [PDF]
Plural: History, Culture, Society, 2021 The process of transition from the unipolar world order, with the centre of power in Washington, to the multipolar one – with several centres of power, was determined by the emergence of some states, which assert themselves as new geopolitical poles ...

Reconfigurable Photonic Metamaterials [PDF]
Nano Letters, 2011 We introduce mechanically reconfigurable photonic metamaterials (RPMs) as a flexible platform for realizing metamaterial devices with reversible and large-range tunable characteristics in the optical part of the spectrum. Here we illustrate this concept for a temperature-driven RPM exhibiting reversible relative transmission changes of up to 50%.
