Linking Device Performance to Nanoscale Photoactivation of Grain Boundaries in 2D Hybrid Halide Perovskites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The opto‐electronic response of polycrystalline (PEA)2PbBr4 thin films is investigated by correlating macroscopic photodetector performance with nanoscale mapping techniques. Grain boundary density is systematically tuned through crystallization control and linked to device responsivity.

Modeling Light‐Induced Synaptic Behavior and Visual Memory of Azopolymeric Compounds

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
In the framework of neuromorphic hardware it is essential to predict the evolution of the internal state of the devices mimicking synaptic functionalities to perform in‐silico modeling of specific computational tasks. Here, we provide a rate‐balance equation model to describe the synaptic‐like response of light‐actuated azopolymeric compounds and ...

Digital Twin of a One‐Sun‐Driven Luminescent‐Concentrator‐Assisted Planar Solar‐Pumped Fiber Laser

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
An experimentally‐validated digital twin of a one‐sun solar‐pumped fiber laser enables a design exhibit 13‐times higher output power at 1064 nm to be achieved. Despite its simple appearance, the multitude of choices in the design parameters make finding this improved very tedious in the lab, thus the digital twin can save significant time and effort ...

Dynamic Analysis of the Actively-Controlled Segmented Mirror of the Thirty Meter Telescope [PDF]

, 2014
Current and planned large optical telescopes use a segmented primary mirror, with the out-of-plane degrees of freedom of each segment actively controlled. The primary mirror of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) considered here is composed of 492 segments,

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced 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.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,
