Mechanical Analysis of Asphalt Pavement with Rigid Base in View of Viscoelastic–Viscoplastic Damage Theory

open access: yesBuildings
Asphalt pavement on rigid base (cement concrete) differs significantly from traditional granular base pavement. To investigate its mechanical behavior, a viscoelastic–viscoplastic damage constitutive model for asphalt mixtures is proposed and verified. A

Turning Water Into a Tool: From Degradation Pathways to Functional Engineering in Halide Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Water exhibits a threshold‐dependent dual role in lead halide perovskites, acting either as a degradation trigger or as a powerful tool for defect passivation, recrystallization, and structural engineering. This review discusses how controlled water‐mediated interactions govern stability, dimensionality, and optoelectronic performance, providing ...

Optical Manipulation of Whispering Gallery Mode Microlasers for Controlled Cellular Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optically trapped whispering‑gallery microlasers are precisely positioned onto non‐phagocytic mammalian cells to report local refractive‑index changes in real time. Time‑dependent wavelength shifts reveal successive stages from membrane contact to internalization.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
