Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Design‐for‐Benchmarking in Soft Robotics: Navigating Component‐System Dichotomy
Soft robotics faces a profound evaluation challenge: the Component‐System Dichotomy, where isolated component tests fail to predict integrated performance. This article presents a systematic survey of critical reporting gaps across actuation, sensing, and control.

Spectral Response Modelling of Multilayer Graphene/Quantum Dot Heterostructures
The spectral response of a multilayer heterostructure device with multiple layers of graphene and photosensitizers of different bandgaps (ZnO and quantum dots) is simulated and validated with experimental data. Our simulation incorporates photon absorption by the photosensitizers and charge collection by graphene, capturing the photoresponse dependence

Guiding and Manipulating Light Fields in Microstructured Liquid Crystals
This review summarizes recent advances in guided‐wave optics enabled by microstructured liquid crystal (LC) devices, covering their fundamental material properties, key degree of freedom for dynamic light field manipulations. The advances of linear guided‐wave optics, nonlinear‐optics with spatial optical solitons, and microlasers in LC‐based devices ...

Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.

ESG Assurance and Dividends: Evidence From 18 Countries in Africa
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of environmental, social and governance (ESG) assurance on a firm's dividend payout policies within the unique African context. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences (DiD) model, this study examines how voluntary third‐party assurance of ESG reports influences firms' dividend payout policies compared to ...
