COVID-19 and China’s Changing Soft Power in Italy [PDF]
This article investigates how China’s COVID-19 aid efforts affected its soft power in Italy through analyzing data on China’s COVID-19-related aid from Italy’s main national newspapers during the period March–April 2020.

Learning Optimal Fin-Ray Finger Design for Soft Grasping
The development of soft hands is an important progress to empower robotic grasping with passive compliance while greatly decreasing the complexity of control. Despite the advances during the past decades, it is still not clear how to design optimal hands

Magnetic Array Assisted Triboelectric Nanogenerator Sensor for Real-Time Gesture Interaction
In human-machine interaction, robotic hands are useful in many scenarios. To operate robotic hands via gestures instead of handles will greatly improve the convenience and intuition of human-machine interaction. Here, we present a magnetic array assisted

Applications for metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) demand their assembly into three‐dimensional (3D) macroscopic architectures. The capability of sustaining structural integrity with considerable deformation is important to allow a monolithic material to ...

Soft Power to Whom? A Critical Analysis of the Publicity Film “CPC (Communist Party of China) is With You Along the Way” in Relation to China’s Soft Power Project [PDF]
The existing literature on China’s soft power is mainly concerned with its success or failure, ignoring the ideological tensions between the Chinese state's international pursuit of soft power and its efforts at reviving the popularity of socialist ...

Gravitational soft theorem from emergent soft gauge symmetries [PDF]
We consider and derive the gravitational soft theorem up to the sub-subleading power from the perspective of effective Lagrangians. The emergent soft gauge symmetries of the effective Lagrangian provide a transparent explanation of why soft graviton emission is universal to sub-subleading power, but gauge boson emission is not.

Metal‐organic framework (MOF) thickness control for carbon dioxide electroreduction to formate
Decreasing particle size (like thickness) is a common strategy to enhance the activities of catalysts. In this work, we have synthesized two coppers, which are bismuth‐based metal‐organic framework (CuBi‐MOF) catalysts with different thicknesses (134.8 ...

Soft-collinear gravity beyond the leading power [PDF]
We construct "soft-collinear gravity", the effective field theory which describes the interaction of collinear and soft gravitons with matter (and themselves), to all orders in the soft-collinear power expansion. Despite the absence of collinear divergences in gravity at leading power, the construction exhibits remarkable similarities with soft ...
