To Snake or Not to Snake in the Planar Swift–Hohenberg Equation

SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2010
We investigate the bifurcation structure of stationary localized patterns of the two-dimensional Swift–Hohenberg equation on an infinitely long cylinder and on the plane. On cylinders, we find localized roll, square, and stripe patches that exhibit snaking and nonsnaking behavior on the same bifurcation branch. Some of these patterns snake between four

Modular Metamaterials for Adaptable MRI Signal Control: Combining Dipole Array With a New Hexagon‐Based Artificial Dielectrics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible, hexagonally packed artificial dielectric providing a wide range of effective permittivities (εr ≈ 30–1400) without lumped elements was developed for clinical and ultra‐high‐field MRI. Combined with modular passive‐dipole arrays, the system enables adaptable RF field shaping through electric‐ and magnetic‐dipole tuning.

Programmable Sequential 4D Actuation in Multistable Kirigami Metamaterials

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a modular kirigami metamaterial framework enabling programmable multistability and sequential 4D actuation. By coupling geometry‐controlled multistability with material‐dependent recovery kinetics, spatiotemporal deformation can be precisely programmed.

A double narrative: stories underpin fearful community attitudes toward snakes but offer a mechanism to reduce human-to-snake conflict

Global Health Action
Background Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease with significant mortality and morbidity. Fear of snakes often results in human-to-snake violence which not only harms snakes but increases bite risks to humans.

Amphibious Movement of Microrobots Inspired by Water Spiders

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by the water strider, a novel microrobot is designed to maintain amphibious mobility in complex environments. It retains the ability to traverse the air‐liquid interface and perform directional movement within sophisticated, multifaceted environments, including complex gastric wall structures, with precise controllability.
