Comparative Neuromechanical Wing‐Actuation Architectures of Flapping Flight in Insects, Hummingbirds, and Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Natural fliers achieve remarkable aerial performance through diverse wing neuromechanical systems integrating actuation, sensing, and control. This study synthesizes neuromechanical architectures in insects and hummingbirds, identifying two key functional types‐Dual Neural‐Mechanical Oscillator and Neurally‐modulated Mechanical Oscillator‐ and ...

A Linear‐to‐Linear Cross‐Polarization Conversion q‐BIC Metasurface for Transmission Mode Mid‐Infrared Spectral Filtering

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Manipulating the ultranarrow linewidth spectral features of quasi bound states in the continuum is challenging. A metasurface supporting linear‐to‐linear cross‐polarization coupling efficiency surpassing 25% is proposed to address the issue. Less than 100 nm linewidth is achieved, enabling the device to be applied to wavelength‐selective polarization ...
