Wavelength‐ and Helicity‐Reconfigurable Circularly Polarized Optical Diodes Enabled by Molecular Photoswitches

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
All‐optical, photoswitchable diode‐type device for tunable nonreciprocal (asymmetric) transmission of CPL across a broad spectrum of light is demonstrated using molecular motor (photoswitch)‐doped cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) sandwiched between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polydopamine (PDA)‐PVA composite layers.

Programmable Pneumatic Actuator System for a Bioinspired Artificial Colon

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular soft robotic colon simulator driven by programmable pneumatic actuation is developed to mimic physiological and pathological‐like motility patterns of the large intestine. Finite element–guided design and distributed control enable anatomically realistic deformation for peristalsis, segmentation, and mass movements, supporting capsule ...

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

A Layered Two‐Dimensional Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Framework Based on 2,5,8,11‐Tetrakis(4‐Carboxyphenyl)Perylene Diimide: Structural Nature, Optical and Photophysical Properties

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A novel hydrogen‐bonded organic framework (HOF) based on perylene diimide (PDI) is synthesized, structurally and spectroscopically characterized. Its photophysical behavior highlights how supramolecular organizations govern the optical properties, including emission from monomers, aggregates, and excimer‐like species. Structural transformations induced

Bismuth Nanogratings With Narrow Plasmon Resonances for Dynamic Polarized Color Generation and Colorimetric Sensing

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Bismuth nanogratings are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition onto the nanostructured silver and polycarbonate surfaces of DVDs. They display spectrally‐narrow plasmon resonances yielding vivid colors, which are strongly sensitive to the polarization of light, angle of incidence, nature of the underlying surface and of the surrounding medium (air or ...

The “cultural commons” in the regional nature parks, pillars of their territorial development

, 2021
Regional nature parks have turned fifty. Their missions are to protect and enhance inhabited areas rural and which are of particular interest for the quality of their natural and cultural heritage. Culture is set as the driving force of the territorial project.

The Mind From Within: Visceral Roots of Human Cognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The physiological activity of visceral organs, such as the heart, the lungs, and the gut, is surprisingly linked to many sophisticated mental operations, such as remembering the past, being aware of ourselves, making choices, and forging social bonds.
