Machine Learning Enables Inverse Design of Optically Driven Microscopic Metavehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning‐based inverse design is used optimize “metavehicles” — flat microparticles based on metagratings that generate a strong lateral optical force from normally incident light. The optimized design exhibits a force efficiency of ∼88% and a measured propulsion speed in water much higher than previously reported, demonstrating that inverse ...

Recycling of Road Pavements – an Environmental Problem? Recycling von Strassenbelägen – ein Umweltproblem?

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1998
For several decades, in addition to bitumen, binders containing tar were used for road pavements in Switzerland. As tar contains up to 10000 times higher concentrations of toxic phenols and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) than bitumen ...

Self‐Powered Visible‐Blind Graphene/NiO/ZnO UV‐C Photodiodes

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
“A scalable architecture for self‐powered UV‐C photodiodes integrates defect‐engineered p‐NiO/n‐ZnO heterojunctions with highly UV‐C transparent graphene anodes. The type‐II band alignment combined with the built‐in electrical field enables robust zero‐bias charge separation.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Evaluation of U.S. and European Concrete Pavement Noise Reduction Methods, July 2006

open access: yes, 2006
Highway noise is one of the most pressing of the surface characteristics issues facing the concrete paving industry. This is particularly true in urban areas, where not only is there a higher population density near major thoroughfares, but also a ...
