Electrical Conductivities of Conductors, Semiconductors, and Their Mixtures at Elevated Temperatures
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents a comprehensive review of temperature‐dependent electrical conductivity data for multiple material classes at elevated temperatures, highlighting a persistent conductivity gap between metals and semiconductors in the range of 102$\left(10\right)^{2}$– 107$\left(10\right)^{7}$ S/m. Metal–ceramic irregular metamaterials are proposed

Protocol for the fabrication and application of a low-water-content polyelectrolyte hydrogel
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Hydrogels are prone to dehydration over prolonged use, leading to changes in their properties. Inspired by the human skin’s stratum corneum, we present a protocol for the fabrication and application of a low-water-content polyelectrolyte ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Phase‐changing liquids enable untethered pneumatic actuation in soft robotics but suffer from volatility and storage challenges. This work reports a simple method to encapsulate Novec 7000 within micron‐thin alginate shells via in situ injection and ionic crosslinking.

Rising India’s Soft Power: Illusion or Influence? [PDF]
Revista UNISCIThis article traces how India’s soft power has been analysed over the years since its conceptualisation in the 1990s. It argues that most of the focus has been on its potential non-military elements of soft power thereby perpetuating illusion about India’

A Topology Optimization Framework for the Inverse Design of Nonlinear Mechanical Metamaterials
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This work uses topology optimization to design unit cells for mechanical metamaterials with a prescribed nonlinear stress–strain response. The framework adds contact and postbuckling modeling to synthesize microstructures for three highly nonlinear responses, including pseudoductile behavior, monostable with snap‐through buckling, and bistable ...
