Collateralization of the Body in the Central Sahara: On Forms and Effects

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article tracks a transporter along the route linking Tripoli to the Saharan town of Ghadames in post‐2011 Libya, asking what secures an obligation when the institutions that normally underwrite it (offices, courts, recognized names) have receded. I distinguish the debt, the sum owed, from the security pledged to answer for it: what may be

Investing Aura: Making Value at an Emirati Art Center

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The article examines the politics and processes of establishing value for artworks, highlighting the continued belief in Walter Benjamin's idea of aura and describing the value aura generates as “auratic value.” Focusing on an artist residency program in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the country's arts boom, I analyze contestations ...

A Compact Annular Electrostatic Clutch Joint: Dynamic Response Modeling and Time‐Sharing Control for Underactuated Robots

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Electrostatic clutches offer programmable variable stiffness for multi‐DOF robots, but their continuous motion is usually bottlenecked by spatial constraints and detachment delays. Here, the authors report a compact annular electrostatic clutch joint with a biphasic amplitude‐frequency modulation strategy to rapidly mitigate residual polarization ...

State‐Programmable Conductive and Reactivatable Bio‐Adhesive for High‐Fidelity Epidermal Biointerfaces

Small, EarlyView.
A printable, reactivatable conductive adhesive (RCA) transitions from a robust, non‐tacky solid film into a soft, conformal biointerface upon solvent activation. By adapting to complex skin microtopography and hair‐covered scalp, the state‐programmable adhesive achieves strong adhesion and low interfacial impedance, enabling high‐fidelity EEG and pulse
