Flavor physics in the quark sector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the past decade, one of the major challenges of particle physics has been to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of quark flavor. In this time frame, measurements and the theoretical interpretation of their results have advanced tremendously. A

Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

Stringent Constraints on the Nuclear Matter Equation of State from Heavy Nuclei and Neutron Star Properties with a Multi-iteration Bayesian Statistical Analysis

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The equation of state (EoS) of dense nuclear matter, particularly the symmetry energy that characterizes its isospin dependence, is of fundamental importance in neutron star (NS) physics and nuclear physics. Apart from the extensively used multimessenger

Deep-Sea Soft Bionic Fish: Advances in Pressure-Tolerant Design, Soft Actuation, and Autonomous Systems

open access: yesBiomimetics
Flexible robotic fish are emerging as a promising class of deep-sea exploration platforms because they combine compliant bodies, low-disturbance fish-like propulsion, and the potential for distributed sensing and autonomy.

An Edible Chitosan‐Based Acoustic Sensor for Sound‐Responsive Actuation in Edible Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an edible acoustic sensor for robotic food and edible robotics. Built from a chitosan piezoelectric film between gold electrodes, the sensor enables acoustic communication through ON/OFF keying. Integrated into an edible robot with pneumatically actuated arms and neck, it responds to high‐frequency tones.

Soft physics in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC

open access: yes, 2012
The LHC results on particle and transverse energy production and Bose-Einstein correlations show that the system produced in Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV is significantly larger, lives longer and is hotter and denser than at RHIC energies.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Implicit Physics-aware Policy for Dynamic Manipulation of Rigid Objects via Soft Body Tools

open access: yes2025 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA)
Recent advancements in robot tool use have unlocked their usage for novel tasks, yet the predominant focus is on rigid-body tools, while the investigation of soft-body tools and their dynamic interaction with rigid bodies remains unexplored. This paper takes a pioneering step towards dynamic one-shot soft tool use for manipulating rigid objects, a ...
