Omnidirectional Ultra‐Broadband Cu/TiO2 Metasurface Absorbers for High‐Efficiency Solar Thermal Conversion and Photothermal Plasmon‐Driven Catalysis

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Metasurface shows selective solar–thermal energy conversion with high‐activity solar/laser‐driven chemistry. The breakthrough is co‐designing broadband FP‐cavity + plasmonic LSPR/SLR resonances in an ultra‐thin metamaterial so that it not only harvests the most efficient proportion of solar radiation but also suppresses mid and IR emissivity. Moreover,

Phonon Polariton Confinement in Isotopically Pure MOVPE‐Grown BN Triangles

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Phonon polaritons are confined in MOVPE‐grown isotopically pure 10BN$^{10}{\rm BN}$ triangles. The resonator modes are excited and mapped by near‐field spectroscopy. Through scanning a wide infrared frequency range and modeling, the polariton dispersion relation is retrieved.

Energy‐Transfer‐Driven Programmable Luminescence in Bi3+‐Eu3+ Co‐Doped Na3Ca2TaO6 Phosphors Toward Multifunctional Optical Applications

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Energy transfer from broadband Bi3+ sensitizers to Eu3+ emitters enables composition‐, excitation‐, and temperature‐dependent luminescence in Na3Ca2TaO6. These controllable optical states support ratiometric thermometry and excitation‐selective, filter‐assisted information decoding in flexible phosphor–polydimethylsiloxane films, demonstrating how ...

Scalable Task Planning via Large Language Models and Structured World Representations

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work efficiently combines graph‐based world representations with the commonsense knowledge in Large Language Models to enhance planning techniques for the large‐scale environments that modern robots will need to face. Planning methods often struggle with computational intractability when solving task‐level problems in large‐scale environments ...

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.

The Future of Research in Cognitive Robotics: Foundation Models or Developmental Cognitive Models?

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Research in cognitive robotics founded on principles of developmental psychology and enactive cognitive science would yield what we seek in autonomous robots: the ability to perceive its environment, learn from experience, anticipate the outcome of events, act to pursue goals, and adapt to changing circumstances without resorting to training with ...
