Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Two-level model for land degradation mapping on multispectral satellite imagery [PDF]
, 2011 Two-level model for land degradation mapping on multispectral satellite imagery of low and medium spatial resolution is shown. First level model applies several different thematic classifications of source multispectral images, e.g. vegetation change,

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Thermal expansion and the thermo‐optic effect in solids are closely coupled, reflecting concurrent changes in mass density and polarizability. Using echo‐resolved THz spectroscopy, we simultaneously determine sub‐micrometer thermal expansion and complex refractive index changes of MgO and Al2O3 from 10–325 K. The analysis yields both the coefficient of

Improvements in turfgrass color and density resulting from comprehensive soil diagnostics [PDF]
, 2001 There are roughly 220 golf courses in Arkansas, and as many as 50% of these courses were constructed using common bermudagrass fairways. Although resilient, common bermudagrass loses density and quality over time. In this experiment physical and chemical

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Edible robotics is an emerging field that leverages edible materials to construct robotic systems. This study presents a method to create thin, lightweight, yet powerful edible soft actuators, namely edible pouch motors. The successful operation of these edible actuators and grippers renders their potential to advance future developments in edible ...
