Enhancement of Circular Dichroism in Chiral Dielectric Metasurfaces by Ion Beam Irradiation
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Ion beam irradiation enables post fabrication tuning of dissipative losses in chiral dielectric metasurfaces composed of C4 symmetric silicon nanostructures. By tailoring the absorption toward critical coupling condition, circular dichroism is enhanced from 0.70 to 0.85, demonstrating a versatile route for maximizing optical chirality and polarization ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
