High Upper Critical Field and Type II Superconductivity in Epitaxial Cubic W2N Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Superconducting thin films of stoichiometric W2N demonstrate a high upper critical field (Hc2) of ∼ 8.5 T, uncommon among binary transition metal nitrides. This robust superconducting response under high magnetic fields highlights the technological relevance of W2N for superconducting applications, e.g., integrated quantum and cryogenic electronics ...

Compliant Footpads Enable Terrain‐Adaptive Hopping in a Monopedal Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A lightweight compliant footpad with embedded spines lets a monopedal hopping robot keep stable ground contact. It preserves stance‐phase dynamics and enables reliable hopping on rock, sand, and ice. Monopedal hopping robots offer exceptional mobility over discontinuous terrain but require consistent foot‐ground contact to maintain stance‐phase ...

Turbulence characterisation for Astronomical Observatories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Atmospheric turbulence has two effects in astronomy; (i) the broadening of the point spread function due to phase fluctuations limiting the resolution of imaging and (ii) producing intensity fluctuations known as scintillation.
