Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

Zero‐Waste Manufacturing of Ophthalmic Lenses by Direct Fluidic Shaping in Arbitrary Domains

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Conventional ophthalmic lens manufacturing discards up to 97% of material through subtractive processes. The Cookie Cutter algorithm extends Fluidic Shaping to arbitrary rim geometries. The framework prescribes a spatially varying boundary height that, under neutral buoyancy and surface tension, shapes curable polymer into spherocylindrical lenses that

Responding to multiple climate-linked stressors in a remote island context: The example of Yadua Island, Fiji

open access: yesClimate Risk Management, 2018
Island societies are being disproportionately affected by climate change, a situation likely to continue for some decades. Using an example of an island affected by multiple climate-linked stressors, a situation likely to become more common in the future,

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.

Danae House Mosaics in Zeugma

open access: yesJournal of Mosaic Research, 2009
Danae House was unearthed by my responsibility, on head of Gaziantep Museum Directorate in 2003-4 excavation. The house was named Danae owing to Danae was figured on the mosaics. Danae-Diktys mosaics were found in shallow pool (impluvium) of inner court.
