Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...

Measurement of Micro-bathymetry with a GOPRO Underwater Stereo Camera Pair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A GO-PRO underwater stereo camera kit has been used to measure the 3D topography (bathymetry) of a patch of seafloor producing a point cloud with a spatial data density of 15 measurements per 3 mm grid square and an standard deviation of less than 1 cm A

Intrinsic chiroptical responsivity in self‐powered organic photodiodes for polarization‐tunable optical convolution

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
Self‐powered chiral organic photodiodes function as polarization‐sensitive convolutional filters for circularly polarized light‐driven optical convolutional neural networks. This conceptually innovative architecture enables dynamic weight modulation, bias‐free operation, and exceptional noise resilience, boosting feature extraction fidelity from 0.15 ...

New map of seafloor mirrors surface

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1995
Over the past few years, a Kiwi fisherman has made a bountiful living casting his nets in an area the experts said did not exist. The New Zealander has long asserted that there are shallows amid the remote and abyssal seas of the South Pacific—shallows that teem with marine life.

Early deglaciation history of the southeastern Baffin Island shelf (Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...
