Ponzano-Regge model revisited III: Feynman diagrams and Effective field theory
We study the no gravity limit G_{N}-> 0 of the Ponzano-Regge amplitudes with massive particles and show that we recover in this limit Feynman graph amplitudes (with Hadamard propagator) expressed as an abelian spin foam model.

NEW SPIN FOAM MODELS OF QUANTUM GRAVITY [PDF]
We give a brief and a critical review of the Barret-Crane spin foam models of quantum gravity. Then we describe two new spin foam models which are obtained by direct quantization of General Relativity and do not have some of the drawbacks of the Barret-Crane models.

Active Fabric Origami Enabled by Digital Embroidery of Magnetic Yarns
This study demonstrates a scalable textile manufacturing process that fabricates active origami fabrics (AFO) via digital embroidery of magnetic yarns. The programmable AFO exhibits reversible 2D and 3D transformations under magnetic fields, enabling functionalities such as altering surface roughness and linear actuation.

Geometric spin foams, Yang-Mills theory and background-independent models
We review the dual transformation from pure lattice gauge theory to spin foam models with an emphasis on a geometric viewpoint. This allows us to give a simple dual formulation of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, where spin foam surfaces are weighted with the ...

Ce Single Atom‐Engineered Amorphous/Crystalline Nanosheets for Enhanced Alkaline Water Electrolysis
We leveraged Ce single‐atom engineering to generate short‐range ordered crystalline nanodomains in amorphous RuOx for creating amorphous/crystalline nanojunctions, in an effort to regulate the water dissociation kinetics for enhanced HER. Specifically, the Ce‐doped crystalline nanodomains greatly reduce the energy barrier to water dissociation and ...
