Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2001 Cognitive science looks more like science fiction in a US lab where scientists are working on a new generation of cyborg. Half-fish, half-robot, their creation is capable of responding to light. The researchers connect the brainstem of a lamprey to a small robot on wheels, tapping into the neural network normally responsible for the lamprey's orienting

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for
