Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess

Lead‐Free Chiral Hybrid Metal Halides for Circularly Polarized Light‐Emitting Diodes
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Lead‐free chiral hybrid metal halides provide a versatile platform for realizing chiroptical responses through chiral modulation of metal–halide frameworks with diverse dimensionalities, induces inversion‐symmetry breaking and enables dissymmetric excited‐state transitions toward efficient circularly polarized luminescence and electroluminescence. This

Mass digitalisation, intra-Shiʿi power dynamics, and the (co)construction of a renewed Shiʿi publicness [PDF]
This dissertation explores the mediated objectification of Shiʿism, framed as an internally-contested attempt to (re)articulating, characterising, and discursively differentiating Shiʿi Islam from Sunni-normative Islam, while considering the emergence of

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Shiʿi Materiality Beyond Karbala: Religion That Matters
American Journal of Islam and SocietyIn recent years, the field of Shiʿi studies has undergone a significant transformation, expanding beyond traditional religious, theological, and historical inquiries to encompass a more nuanced exploration of the material and sensory dimensions of Shiʿi

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the recondite pulmonary neoplastic milieu, DESMIN+ cancer‐associated fibroblasts function as the paramount stromal source of IL‐8, precipitating a deleterious immunological metamorphosis by engaging CXCR2 receptors on the myeloid lineage. This paracrine stimulus triggers a mechanotransduction cascade characterized by RhoA‐dependent actin ...
