An Aerial–Aquatic Hitchhiking Robot with Remora‐Inspired Tactile Sensors and Thrust Vectoring Units

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView., 2023
An untethered aerial–aquatic hitchhiking robot that can be remotely controlled for flying, swimming, and transiting air–water boundaries rapidly (0.16 s), is presented. Notably, it can autonomously attach to various surfaces in both air and water environments using a remora‐inspired suction disc with flexible tactile sensors.

Quantum rotor theory of spinor condensates in tight traps

open access: yes, 2010
In this work, we theoretically construct exact mappings of many-particle bosonic systems onto quantum rotor models. In particular, we analyze the rotor representation of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates.

Patterned Assembly of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide/Graphene Heterostructures via Direct Laser Writing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The fabrication of patterned transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD)/graphene heterostructures via direct laser writing reveals new interface chemistry and enables efficient, customizable assembly. Selective laser irradiation of functionalized TMD/graphene triggers localized reactions, forming chemically modified interfaces.

Analysis of Adhesion at the Interface of Steamed Bread and Eggshell

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
The adhesion phenomenon of polymers occurs in nature and in human activity. In the present paper, an adhesion system of steamed bread and eggshell was observed in formation when steamed bread and eggshells were placed in close contact and cooled slightly

Alleviation of Aging‐Related Hallmarks in a Mouse Model of Progeria via a Nanoparticle‐Based Artificial Transcription Factor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oct4‐nanoscript, a biomimetic nanoparticle‐based artificial transcription factor, precisely regulates cellular rejuvenation by activating Oct4 target genes, restoring epigenetic marks, and reducing DNA damage. In a progeria model, it effectively rescued aging‐associated pathologies and extended lifespan.

Investigation of Rotor–Airframe Interaction Noise Associated with Small-Scale Rotary-Wing Unmanned Aircraft Systems

open access: yesJournal of the American Helicopter Society, 2017
In this study, acoustic measurements of a hover condition are taken on isolated rotor–airframe configurations representative of small-scale, rotary-wing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Each rotor–airframe configuration consists of two fixed-pitch blades

The use of active controls to augment rotor/fuselage stability [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The use of active blade pitch control to increase helicopter rotor/body damping is studied. Control is introduced through a conventional nonrotating swashplate. State variable feedback of rotor and body states is used.
