Stretchable Curvature Sensors for Motion Capture with Bending‐Stretching Coupling Deformation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Stretchable curvature sensors based on a wavy symmetric stacked‐layer structure (WSSLS) enable decoupled bending‐stretching detection with high linearity, repeatability, and durability. Integrated into smart gloves, the sensors achieved precise motion capture and human‐robot interaction, with slip‐simulation tests demonstrating a remarkable 93.6 ...

Analytical Models for the Thrust of a Rotating Detonation Engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Two models are proposed for rotating detonation engine performance. The first model is motivated by models of pulse detonation engine performance which are based on the pressure-time history within the detonation tube.

The Role of Variations of Central Density Of White Dwarf Progenitors Upon Type Ia Supernovae

open access: yes, 2010
The discovery of the accelerated expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) has stimulated a tremendous amount of interest in the use of SNe Type Ia events as standard cosmological candles, and as a probe of the fundamental physics of ...

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Presupernova evolution of accreting white dwarfs with rotation

open access: yes, 2004
We discuss the effects of rotation on the evolution of accreting carbon-oxygen white dwarfs, with the emphasis on possible consequences in Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitors.

Soft, Flexible, and Stretchable Platforms for Tissue‐Interfaced Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐integrated electronics provide mechanically compliant and stable interfaces with soft biological tissues. Representative applications include neural interfaces, wet‐organadhesive electronics, and skin‐interfaced devices. E represents Young´s modulus and ε represents strain.

On the One-dimensional Stability of Viscous Strong Detonation Waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Building on Evans function techniques developed to study the stability of viscous shocks, we examine the stability of viscous strong detonation wave solutions of the reacting Navier-Stokes equations.

Reconfigurable Acoustofluidic Microvortices for Selective Microcargo Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work introduces a frequency‐encoded, reconfigurable acoustofluidic system that overcomes the low throughput and poor selectivity of conventional micro‐delivery methods. By exploiting discrete microbubble resonances to program adaptive microvortex modes, the platform enables real‐time switching and selective guidance of microscale payloads through ...

Thermonuclear detonations ensuing white dwarf mergers

open access: yes, 2015
The merger of two white dwarfs (WDs) has for many years not been considered as the favoured model for the progenitor system of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia).
